Lori Weisbart-Polson
Scenes from Life
February 20 – April 5
An exuberance of energy, life and color defines this exhibit of 45 paintings. There is an ease and a vibrance to Lori’s work that feels refreshing. She depicts scenes from every day life including landscapes, still lifes, and figures, that project a sense of warm familiarity.
Last few days to see her work!
