Drawing
Closer to Nature
Paintings by Lori Hayes, Susan Ross and Melissa Staiger
The Lutheran
Church of the Messiah and the Puffin Foundation are pleased to
present Drawing Closer to Nature, a three-person exhibition of
abstract paintings by Lori Hayes, Susan Ross and Melissa Staiger.
The exhibition and planned public programming explore the
connection between the natural environment and art, and the need
for greater awareness of both.
The church
supports a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) group, in which
the public has formed a relationship with a local farm. By making a
financial commitment to the farm, people are "shareholders" of the
CSA and receive weekly organic produce. In conjunction with the
bounty of CSA fruits and vegetables, the colors and forms of
exhibited work by artists Hayes, Ross and Staiger highlight the
precious aspects of nature and the natural world, which is in need
of attention. All exhibited art work is for sale, and 20% will be
donated back to the church for the CSA and for their future art
exhibitions and performances.

Drawing Closer to Nature was made possible with support from the
Puffin Foundation and the Lutheran Church of the
Messiah. |
