Just Imagine
Works in marker on watercolor paper by Ippis Halme
Just Imagine is a body of work that Ippis Halme created during the pandemic of 2020 as an escape and a reaction to being so much at home, indoors. It imagines fantastical environments, patterns and abstraction. It also continues with her themes of interpreting nature, flowers, trees and insects. Using an ongoing medium of permanent marker, each piece takes about a month to create.

Life in the Triangle Gardens
Photographs by Steve Heiner
Exhibit Reception: Sunday, April 30, 2-4 p.m.
The photographs in this exhibit were taken in the Triangle area, principally at the North Carolina Botanical Gardens, the Sarah Duke Gardens, the North Carolina Museum of Art and the Museum of Life and Science’s butterfly garden. The artist hopes these pieces, ranging from damselflies mating in the shape of a man to a waterlily appearing to give birth to a butterfly, convey the humor, depth, wonder, weirdness and excitement to be found looking around these visually captivating treasures.
