Elizabeth Bradford

"My concept of the exhibition is as an escape from the urban life," said Lin Barnhardt, Visual Arts Director, who curated the exhibition. "Maud Gatewood's September Rain from the Car is an anchor piece. The painting represents a drive, an approach to the countryside.

Rudy Rudisill

"The show reflects three theme components: the garden (flower and vegetable), the barnyard and pastoral settings," he said. "It is a good blend of two- and three-dimensional works, a juxtaposition of fine art with craft." The works include three of Billy Bernstein's hand-blown glass chickens, Robert Marsh's Cow with Nursing Calf, Rudy Rudisill's galvanized steel barn, David Taylor's cow sculpture and John Borden Evans' Two and a Half Chickens.

Also on view through Oct. 12 are egg still-life paintings by Wil Bosbyshell and quilts by Charlotte Doyle.
