Speaking of her work In this series, Schlag observes, “I am drawing from my memories of wild rides through the woods on my mostly tamed horse and peaceful days at the beach enjoying silence and rest like the rowboats resting at their moorings.” She continues, “The encaustics are a total change for me and make space for my imagination to roam free.”

Shirley Ernst, a watercolorist is showing new work as well. She comments, “When watercolor works well, the colors are fresh, the white paper sparkles through, and the brush strokes are spontaneous.”
