Reception and Artist's Talk for Nature’s Persistence: Recent Work by Shelley Haven

Join us for a reception and artist's talk for the exhibition, Nature’s Persistence: Recent Work by Shelley Haven, which features twenty-three paintings, pastels, and drawings that map the geologic history of rocks, cliffs, canyons, and ravines with layers of line, form, color, and tone. Haven, who lives in the Bronx and works on location and in her studio in Yonkers, finds the complexity of rock formations a compelling inspiration that expresses nature’s resilient response to the challenges of time. As she states: “I am drawn to places that speak to me of creative transformation and survival; and I am fascinated by the fragile beauty and awesome power of nature.” R.S.V.P art@riverspring.org or 718.581.1596.
