In this show, Barbara delves into the tranquil depths of forests and the serene beauty of trees. This collection invites you into a world where the silent guardians of the forest offer solace and a reprieve from the clamor of everyday life.

"Juxtapostions" in the Freemore Gallery, sponsored by Deb Hoffmeister, features the art of Carole Bersin and Nancy Conger. Carole Bersin is a drawer and painter primarily working in narrative realism with art as a way of processing her experience as a human being in the world. In her work she seeks to depict the everyday stories in the fabric of existence - past, present and future - that connect us all. Nancy Conger is a multi-media artist, performer, musician and writer. Her visual works are in the realm of quirky, unusual and thought-provoking.
