her unique pastel and charcoal drawings during the exhibit. A
number of works from her Southern Series will present her
view of the landscape from a native Southerner's perspective.
Tom Perkinson of New Mexico is nationally known for his beautiful
impressionistic oil paintings. Perkinson strives to communicate
his personal artistic statement clearly, through painting scenes
that celebrate the beauty and innocence of life. When describing
