Along with "Leaves of Grass" we are exhibiting Drawings by Anne Minich with portraits of the artist by our resident photographer/artist, Tina Sarno. Our intention is to illuminate the erotic imagination of women in various stages of life. Drawings and photos will remain on display through November. As our gallery hours are flexible, we invite you to contact us for access between events!
