SUMMARY:Art: Chasing Flowers
DESCRIPTION:In the natural world\, a flower blooms for only a set period of time—holding its breath in a brief\, brilliant display before returning to the earth. But in Chasing Flowers\, the garden never fades. Amy Coulombe explores this fleeting beauty through a diverse collection of styles\, refusing to settle into a single medium and keeping the exhibition exciting\, fresh and new.  From the dreamlike drift of alcohol ink on YUPO paper and the soft transparency of watercolors\, to the rich textures of oil and the playful depth of acrylic and collage\, these flowers truly come to life. By chasing the beauty of nature across every medium\, Amy captures the magic of the garden before it drifts away. \n  \nPlease reserve your gate admission on the website. Exhibit runs through 1/6/27 except 11/26/26\, 12/24/26\, 12/25/26.

SUMMARY:Art: Thin Veils and Fluid Borders
DESCRIPTION:By juxtaposing the fluid transparency of watercolor\, the rich\, worked texture of oil\, and the spectral light of photography\, this show challenges the viewer to move beyond the literal. “Thin Veils and Fluid Borders” invites us to look past the geography of the land and instead feel its pulse. Together\, these works create a collective meditation on how the environment shapes our internal mood\, presenting the landscape as a living\, breathing entity that shifts with the light and the mind’s eye. As you move through the space\, you’ll see a striking conversation unfold between three distinct media: the fluid\, weightless transparency of Nanci Yermakoff’s watercolors; the thick\, deeply layered textures of Jamie Lauler’s oil paintings; and the spectral light of Brian Billadeau’s photography. \n  \nThis runs daily 10/3/26 thru November 23\, 2026. \n  \nVisit the website to book your gate admission.
