Intuitive Evolution
Exhibit open until March 25
Free Event

Artists Christine Smith-Atkins and Ron Stephens exhibit the passion of discovery from the "what if?" of painting. As the artist's intuition grows and emerges, artwork evolves and progresses in new directions. Through pure abstraction, we invite the observer to explore their own intuition and curiosity in this collective body of work. Learn More
