July 2010 Art Exhibits

Gallery - Landscapes With No Horizon by Alexandra Rozenman

Reception: Thursday, July 1, 6:30 pm

By: A. Rozenman

In the tradition of myth and folklore, Alexandra Rozenman threads together metaphors, symbols, and abstract spaces to create a new graphic visual language. Created from her own personal experiences and associations as a source for ideas and concepts, her art is a reflection of what she finds relevant and meaningful to spiritual growth. Taken as a whole, her work is a testament to the desire we all share to understand and to be understood.

Hall - Nature Observed by Kay Kopper

Reception: Thursday, July 8, 7:00 pm

By: K. Kopper

In choosing subjects from the world around her, Kay Kopper finds that there are many sources from which to observe; the seasons, her gardens, fields, woods, greenhouses and even produce on grocers’ shelves. Plants in all their seasons, bare branches in winter, or flowers in full bloom in summer, all intrigue her. Each line and brush stroke contributes to the whole as her creative story emerges from the process of producing art.
