Art Exhibit
"Conversations with Color"
Opening Reception
Saturday, October 5
3-5 pm
The show highlights the artist’s intuitive, colorful, expressive paintings full of emotion and movement.
“As a painter, color is like another language to me. It is a way of communicating. My pallets are true indications of what I am trying to express,” Bates explains. “The compositions are simple so the colors can react. I find less is more in any good conversation. It's the constant play of speaking and listening.”

Art Exhibit
"A Still Life"
Opening Reception
Saturday, November 16
3-5 pm
The show highlights the artist’s ethereal archival digital photography of seasonal fruits, vegetables and flowers.
“I take my inspiration from many sources,” Tibbatts remarks. “Dutch still life paintings, Japanese screens, scrolls and wood blocks, the sketchbooks of herbalists and naturalists, botanical prints and a multitude of gardens.”
For much of this body of work that will be on display at the park, Tibbatts largely used a horizontal landscape orientation. For some of the backgrounds, she used painted papers she recently made in a class with Suzanne Moore, book artist and calligrapher.
