Farr's expressive painting style depicts unusual subjects and incorporates satirical allusions to well-known artworks.

The Center is proud to present The Veil by Rania Matar. Matar’s work focuses on the Middle East, mainly women and children, and her recent projects intend to give a voice to people who have been forgotten or misunderstood. These black and white images of women in Lebanon wearing the veil, naturally juxtaposed with western fashion and destruction give insight to choice and liberation through a widely growing faith. This exhibit examines the spread of the veil and its meaning. In Lebanon women are not forced to wear the veil, but wearing it is rapidly becoming a decision of choice among most Muslim women young and old, modern and traditional.

This group exhibit features Center Artist Members and their interpretation of the figure. The Center Artist Members designate themes for three group exhibits each year. These themes range from quirky play-on-words-type ideas to serious titles which allow the artists to use their media to express one central thought.

The figure is one of the most complicated subjects to capture. Whether it's a hand or a full body in movement, an artist's interpretation of the figure can often be a direct insight into an artist's ability and skill. This exhibit, Go Figure-ative, allows our artists to present their various talents in expression and encompasses their wit and creativity.

Signature Artist Member Mike Lanier's life-like paintings give us a magnified look at animals in nature. Each of these paintings is a close study of the wonderful occurrences in nature. Lanier's close attention to detail and incredibly realistic painting style enhance these pieces to the extent of giving the illusion of being outside, in nature, up close and in person.
