Art at Meekins: Treasure the Land

October and November in the Neil F. Hammer Gallery

An artwork featuring a blue stream zagging between grass-spotted banks. Angela Vincent presents a series of landscapes that promote an awareness and appreciation of conservation efforts in our valley. Executed in oil, watercolor, and pastel, the works represent efforts to preserve and conserve land. These landscapes celebrate the vistas, watersheds, trails, parks and forests that she frequent. The intent is to inspire others to support local organizations dedicated to conserving land.
