Please come see the fabulous color works of Kathleen McCarty and Steve Immerman. This show is truly a feast for the senses. We’ll be celebrating Chromaphilia (it’s legal!) between 3 – 5 p.m., Saturday, July 2nd with dessert for palate and eye. Show continues through August 28th.
The work of both these artists seem to enter our experience from the eye to the heart, bypassing critical thinking or even recognition, allowing moments of a pure sensational joy.
