Ryerson Woods
Genius Loci - Learning from Nature's Muse
I displayed a series of watercolors titled Roadtrip: The Seasons at Ryerson Woods as part of a group show highlighting works that capture the spirit of the natural environment. Curator Frank Mercurio commented, "Seen together, these near-abstract, small-scale images—painted on postcard-sized paper—read as stills from a film, capturing a sense of movement through time and through the landscape."
