“Honoring Trees” Art Exhibit at the Miller Library

"Arboreta IV," a drypoint engraving by Elizabeth Reed Smith. See this and other beautiful artwork at the Miller Library's "Honoring Trees" exhibit this fall.
From October 5 through November 23, the Miller Library at the Center for Urban Horticulture will host “Honoring Trees,” an exhibit featuring drawings, paintings, and engravings by a group of four Northwest artists who share a deep affinity for trees: Jacqui Beck, Donna Leavitt, Cheryl A. Richey, and Elizabeth Reed Smith. While the artists’ diverse styles and media represent a range of realistic and abstract renderings of trees, they share an interest in exploring and understanding the symbolism that unifies their work. See examples of the group’s work on their weblog. A free public reception and meet-the-artists event is planned for October 20, 5 to 7 p.m. For more information about the exhibit, visit the Miller Library website or call 206-543-0415.
