Exhibits

Join us for an exhibit opening on Friday, July 1 from 3 to 5 pm! Artist Sherri Porter will be in attendance. Her work includes portraits of famous and historical figures as well as loved ones, rendered with crayon on brown paper. 

Sherri's artist statement:

I grew up in Ithaca - IHS class of ‘82. From childhood I have always loved to color with crayons and to paint with an oversized shirt as a smock. I’m inspired by vibrant colors, facial expressions, and the way shadows fall from different angles. I love people and their stories, hugs, rich coffee, hearty meals and teaching all kinds of mathematics.  I have worked as an educator for almost 30 years!

My greatest gift is connecting with people - my heart continues to stretch and make room for another resident. I believe this talent in art is from God. I feel a tingling sensation in my fingers when I begin to create. I am thankful.
