Works by
Mary Ann Bowman, Margaret Nelson, Timothy Nelson Hoy with Margaret Nelson, and Diana Ozolins.

Why Is Reality?

Mary Ann Bowman, Margaret Nelson, and Diana Ozolins depict their experience of life through their own perception, imagination, and humor. Bowman works with clay, fabric and found objects. Imagination and her sense of humor inspire her creations. Working with acrylic on canvas, Ozolins paints her surroundings and the people nearby. Nelson, an artist working with a variety of media including watercolor and digital, draws on her extensive knowledge of nature and the creatures living there.

The show will run from October 31- December 1, 2024. There will be an opening reception Friday, November 1, 5–8pm.
