Art Reception at Coffee Hour this Sunday, November 20 |
Stop by the Community Art Gallery before or after service, or on a weekday to explore the newest watercolor exhibit by Yvonne L. Unger. Meet the artist at an art reception THIS Sunday, November 20 during coffee hour, beginning at 11:30am.
From the artist… “The images I paint, be they realistic or abstract, are inspired by what I think of as “everyday nature”, those small observations of the natural world that occur in the midst of my daily activities. It is my hope to encourage the viewer to appreciate nature wherever they may find it, allowing it to further enrich their lives.” A portion of the proceeds from the sale of paintings goes to support Riverside Community Care’s activities at the Elliot Clubhouse located here in Needham.
