REGIONAL GALLERY
Theresa Rankin: Changes
Influenced by John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla and contemporary artists Richard Schmid and Jeremy Lipking, this award-winning artist “sees” in shapes of color and light. Rankin’s paintings combine a mix of realism and paint strokes marked by texture—and an ever-present accent on light.

MAIN GALLERY
Reliance on Dreams: Richard Conte’s Works on Paper
Conte, an award-winning architect, studied art In Italy during WWII. These extraordinary, rarely exhibited works are cubist-inspired—less concerned with subject matter & detail than with color, form, light, & texture.

REGIONAL GALLERY
Images of Another World: Photos by Bill Perry
Bill Perry’s images are far more painterly than photographic. Stemming from a print process which exposes the image through layered mediums, the results are other-worldly, imbued with subtle visual textures and soft-edged, tonal effects.
