Free and open to the public, light refreshments will be served. The exhibit will be on display through September 2.
“My subjects include dragonflies, caddisflies and frogs but I focused largely on the delicate beauty of moth species found here in the Adirondacks with names like the sundew dart, the boreal pine looper, the pitcher plant borer and the rosy maple moth. I wanted to capture the remarkable transformations that take place as these living things “come into being” and to showcase the connection between them and the plants on which they live. The style of my pieces was inspired by the seventeenth century artist and scientific illustrator, Maria Sybilla Merian.”
