Art Gallery Opening and Reception – Dianne Shullenberger and John Snell (New Date!)
This fabric collage and photography show reflects John Snell and Dianne Shullenberger's fascination with rocks. They focus on patterns, details, textures and pay tribute to the adjoining vegetation in a rock’s environment. For the past three years, John and Dianne have collaborated by hiking together, looking at rocks, and supporting each other in creating the art featured in their gallery. The two styles and media speak to each other to better reveal what these amazing stones have to say. This show also showcases their individual perspectives from some of the same locations. (Rescheduled date from a January cancellation)
