Sept/Oct  Trifolia: Lenny Wilson, Susan Benarcik, and Barbie Brannock

“Trifolia” represents the work of three emerging artists who take their inspiration from nature. Susan Benarcik contemplates the passage of time through layering images of natural life forms, book page and other collected materials in a provocative series of collages. Barbie Brannock teaches visual expression for young children and employs printing and painting techniques in her vibrant imagery. Lenny Wilson combines shoemaking with horticulture and constructs one-of-a-kind, life size shoes made from plant material and leather.

This show runs through the end of October. Free and open to the public, Monday – Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
