NATURE’S DUET

Virginia Carroll, Colored Pencil

May 4 - June 28, 2009
Opening Reception: TBD

Susan Swain

Silver prints have been the primary focus of Susan’s work but she has enjoyed experimenting with alternative processes including Van Dyke, Salt, Platinum/Palladium, Gum and Cyanotype. Drawn to many subjects, she is especially captivated by images of the desert. With an eye for striking composition, Susan brings a distinctive perspective to her work.

Virginia Carroll

Producing more than 40 drawings in a span of seven months, Virginia Carroll discovered in colored pencil a medium that could keep up with her creative energy. This body of work launched her first one-person exhibit.  Since that time her work can be seen in galleries and in private collections. With a love of flora and fauna of the desert, Virginia’s colorful drawings bring a depth and dimension to the images you will see on exhibit.


GENTRY’S AGAVES

June 30 - Sept. 26, 2009

Featuring illustrations from Agaves of Continental North America, by Howard Scott Gentry. These magnificent pen and ink drawings were created by a variety of artists.  This exhibit is on loan from University of Arizona Herbarium, and is courtesy of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
