Nature and NurtureCurated by Lisa Flynn

The natural world has long inspired human creativity, shaping discoveries in science, mathematics, and the arts. Nature and Nurture explores this enduring relationship through a multi-media exhibition featuring works by Lisa Flynn, Sally Franks,Miller Opie, Carolyn Muskat.

The exhibition presents a diverse range of printmaking techniques—including lithography, monotype, etching, and woodcut—alongside evocative sculptures created from bone, feathers, and other found organic materials. Together, the works reflect each artist’s unique interpretation of the natural world, exploring its beauty, complexity, and continual transformation through a variety of materials and processes.

Curated by Lisa Flynn, Nature and Nurture brings together works inspired by the environment in its many forms, creating a cohesive visual experience that celebrates the enduring dialogue between art and nature. The exhibition invites viewers to consider how the natural world continues to inspire observation, reflection, and creative expression.

Opening: September 17, 2026 (Reception from 6 PM to 8 PM) Closing: Oct 24, 2026
