Latest Gallery Exhibit
On display May 14 - June 25
Featuring the artwork of LaDonna Sepers
There will be an opening reception Thursday, May 14, from 5:30 to 7 pm.
The name of Sepers’ show, “Palette and Prism,” have images that have these words merge with one another to describe how the artist expresses her perceptions of the world around her. The world presents itself through the prism of color and light together. LaDonna discovers that expressive light most often being in the eyes, both human and animal. Her subjects are living and breathing, experiencing a moment in life. A moment that is meaningful to them and she celebrates that meaning with color choices that speak to her, joyfully dancing with light.
