CURRENT EXHIBIT January 10th – EXTENDED | Dialog:PAPER
Artists and scientists are “askers” of life’s important questions. Ingrid Erickson’s work spans the intersection of art and science through the investigation of specific species and ecosystems. A “cut paper naturalist” Ingrid explores the ornithology, botany and ecology of ecosystems. Each piece is individually hand cut using an X-acto knife and scissors, with up to several thousand tiny cuts per piece. After cutting is complete, color is added using up to 20 layers of light-fast acrylic spray paint.
Hope Holmes began crafting her own toys at the age of six, and as an artist she creates incredibly intricate small scale sculptures out of paper mache using all manner of recyclable paper products. It is Hope’s sincere wish that her unique take on recyclables sparks curiosity, yet more importantly, acts as a catalyst for others to rethink the many possibilities of reusable materials.

CURRENT EXHIBIT November 7th through March 31st: Sketches by Bettie Day
Ms. Bettie Day, a member of the Golden Belt community, has been drawing her family and cultural icons for as long as she can remember. Initially inspired by the work of Ernie Barnes, her original sketches are done in pencil and tend to capture their subjects in contemplation, with unfiltered emotions.
