Dianne Bugash: Zion! A Forest of Dreams

Stone Tower Gallery | October 15 - November 13, 2022

The Stone Tower Gallery presents Dianne Bugash: Zion! A Forest of Dreams, a solo exhibition by artist Dianne Bugash. Zion is an installation, approximately 12 feet in diameter, filled with abstracted tree and cliff-like shapes of varying colors. The shapes are not intended to be realistic but rather meant to reference “magical realism,” a term Latin American writers have used to incorporate fantastical elements into a story.

Saturdays & Sundays, 12 pm - 6 pm

Still Life: Reflections of Home

Park View Gallery | October 15 - December 30, 2022

The Park View Gallery presents Still Life: Reflections of Home, a solo exhibition by artist Julia Rosenbaum. For this exhibition, Rosenbaum painted a series of watercolors featuring a “cast of characters” found around her home. Rosenbaum approaches art as a mystery that she is continually trying to solve. She’s constantly asking herself: “What makes an interesting composition? How can I portray light and shadows using the unique properties of watercolor? And which colors should I use in my palette?” These are the questions that spur Rosenbaum on to experiment and make painting in watercolors forever interesting.
