The exhibit runs through May 9. Featured artists include: Barb Perez, Joni Lawler, Kate Colclaser, Pat Abrams, Jackie Doyle, Kim Smith, and Suzanne Saunders, and Debbie Burton.

Joni Lawler created Winter Enchanter as part of a healing series focused on the theme of flowers.
Kate Colclaser’s Winter Birches and Jackie Doyle’s White Birches depict phases that nature takes us and the world through from year to year.
Sunrise over the Blue Ridge by Debbie Burton celebrates the colors of winter turning to spring.
Drawing inspiration from the exposed rock walls along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pat Abrams’ Formations I & II explores the tectonic shifts and colliding energies that shape one’s interior landscape.
In The Stag, Suzanne Saunders celebrates the spirit and powerful presence of the father of deer, a resilient, amazing creature that has survived countless cycles of nature.
Kimberly Smith reflects on the the path all living creatures travel from birth to death and the spirit of those who’ve traversed the land before us in the piece Eternity.
