LARSON GALLERY
Cultivating a Love of Art
What's Happening Now
These exhibitions are sponsored in honor of the creative spirit of Cathy Olivieri.
Threadlines: A Forest Tapestry
A group exhibition of work by Charlotte Bird, Ree Nancarrow, Terri Shinn, and Margo Klass with a focus on West Coast ecosystems.
Four artists whose lives and visual imagery are inspired by the boreal and temperate forest join together in presenting this collection of art quilts, fiber sculpture, artist books, and other mixed media pieces. Through their work each artist expresses a keen awareness of the biodiversity of the forest’s natural ecosystems.
Charm
Recent work by Thorp-based artist Renee Adams, known for her explorations of natural forms and the overlap between human and nonhuman spheres of influence.
Renee Adams constructs mixed media sculptures that reference plant cycles, symbols, patterns, and ecological systems. Using forged and fabricated steel and hand-shaped wooden forms, her work highlights the tension between organic life and industrial processes.
Exhibiting: March 7, 2026 – April 18, 2026
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 7 from 3pm – 5pm
