Creation and Co-Existence

(click on picture to see larger image)

Hi!
Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of going to the opening reception of "Creation and Co-Existence: The Respectful Interdependence Of All That Is" at the Mary-Frances and Bill Veeck Gallery in Hyde Park. The two artists exhibiting in this show are our own Akemi Nakano Cohn and Lindsay Obermeyer (who has also taught at LillStreet in the past). I highly recommend seeing this exhibit. Akemi's wall hangings are powerful in their visual and symbolic impact but up close very intricate. Lindsay's beaded prairie flowers are exquisite in their detail and impressive when seen all together. Best yet, you can really see how their work relates to the exhibit's titled theme. The show is running until September 14th. Below are some pictures I took at the reception. More detailed information on the gallery hours and the show can be seen in the above postcard (just click on the photo above to see a larger image).
