Each fiber retains its individual color–this and the layering of fiber create a feeling of depth in the finished painting.” – Denise Fleming www.denisefleming.com Jay Hosler, writes and draws graphic novels that focus on natural history, evolution, and insects. Lots and lots of insects. His goal is to use the compelling visual power of comics to illustrate the alien worlds that often go unnoticed and unappreciated. Hosler is noted for using his storytelling as a means engaging the reader in scientific exploration & education, most notably in his graphic novel, “The Last of the Sandwalkers.” www.jayhosler.com August 12th - September 10th Cost: Free, Donations appreciated.
