The works included in Winter Rusiloski “Traversing Lines: a Narrative on the American Landscape” invite viewers to step in and take a closer look . . . the details and combinations are stunning and surprising. We’ve shared a few here and we invite you to come this week and spend a little time looking closer at the entire show—after October 17, they will be off our gallery walls and you don’t want to miss this!
