'The Summer That Wasn’t'
Book a browsing appointment, May 1 - June 12, to see the show in person in the beautiful Art Gallery. Watch for a virtual show posting on on our YouTube page.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Lawrence Library.
" This series was conceived in a pre-Pandemic February, when I longed for the warm sunny summer days that seemed so far away. I began these “windows” into imaginary summer gardens to push back at the cold. Little did I know I would rely on each new work to sustain me through a long quarantine. This is my tribute to the resilience of the natural world. They are a thank you for the simple joys that can be found in adversity." - Donna Howard
