On Saturday, February 25, 5 – 7 PM, the Cooper & Smith Gallery hosts a reception with New York artist Sheila Kramer for her featured exhibit, “Skyward.” Light fare and live music.

Sheila’s paintings are informed by her world travels, landscapes and atmospheres observed from the cockpit of her single engine plane. Her evocative skyscapes of luminous deep space emerge from shifting light and veils of color. About Sheila’s work, artist Stephen Westfall writes, “We have the concurrent sensations of looking at intensifications of light effects that occur at sunrise and sunset while also seeing color as a mineral experience….You’ll watch meteorological weather become emotional weather.” Gallery hours: Sun – Mon, 11 – 5; Thu – Sat, 11 – 6; Tue – Wed, by chance.
