Our annual winter exhibition opens December 2nd and runs through January 9.  This year's show includes artwork from several local and national artists.  Richard Dougherty, Chair of the Murray State University Art Department, will exhibit a collection of still life paintings with hand crafted frames created for each individual painting, creating an art piece that works as whole unit.  Mary Furhmann, long time Murray resident artist will display a beautiful series of landscape paintings.  Brent Scowden, currently of Tallahassee, brings his playful and carefully studied still life paintings to show and New York artist Nancy Hollinghurst, currently working in the Jeff Koons Studio, exhibits her intricate, hand crafted one of a kind jewelry creations. Gallery owner Jennifer Fairbanks exhibits recent paintings from the studio and from the landscape.
