This exhibit showcases 14 original large works and are on display through April 25, 2025. In Nature’s Cycle: A Visual Narrative, Reed intricately captures the beauty and fragility of nature’s cycles through a series of thought- pro- voking paintings and mixed media works on paper. This exhibit invites viewers to reflect on the interconnected shifts in all seasons both outside and in. Reed’s work has deter- mined motion in its energy, color, and complex layering like nature itself.
