January 21 - April 7 in the Edith Gilbert Gallery

This is an exhibition borne out of close observation of the world around us; a silent world of detail and private atmospheres, like the moment something catches your eye as you walk in the forest… or stroll along the beach. ..

Five artists have been invited to create intimate views of nature. Harry Boyer of Harbor Springs displays glasswork of exquisite detail; Caesar Citraro of Petoskey (work pictured here) delicately transposes moments in time to oil on canvas; Martha Fieber of Manistique creates mind-boggling landscapes in thread; Ladislav Hanka of Kalamazoo transforms close observation and scientific knowledge of nature to his work in etching and graphite; and finally Kim Kauffman of Lansing has re-created and raised the bar on the world of still life photography.
