FINGERS OF LIGHT
Dorothy Ellis
As a Virginia teacher, Dorothy Ellis has helped thousands of people solve numerous creative problems. Upon retirement she now concentrates in printmaking, putting color into etchings with various inking techniques. Dorothy is active in many galleries in Richmond and brings a fresh, creative art form to this new exhibit at Art Works, Center Gallery East.

THINGS THAT MATTER
Blanton Seward
Blanton Seward intrigues us with the title of his new show. His new body of work in the Centre Gallery, West addresses the question “What really matters?” .
