Isolated Inspirations

June 2020
Curators: Deb Olson, Sue Gale, Leslie Dickenson

The pieces in this exhibit were inspired by Nature, our gardens, web cam (wild Birds Unlimited) environment, what we had on hand, and of course CO-VID19.  Hope was a theme that recurred in nearly every piece, though it was not suggested for submissions.  We hope these small works lift you up and that you enjoy the variety of work presented.
