Close to Nature

440 Gallery
October 13 - November 21, 2021

Close to Nature is a three-person exhibition of paintings, works on paper, and mixed media. This show draws inspiration from nature and the personal commentary on our relationship to nature from gallery artists Jo-Ann Acey, Gail Flanery, and Karen Gibbons.

Gail Flanery is showing works on paper. “I spent a lot of time in nature this past summer. Much of my palette and spatial design is the result of looking at trees and drawing them. I observed their beautiful lines and the mood that was derived from the shadow and texture of growth. For me, trees hold time within their rings.”
