Everyday Relics features works by artists Charles Bowers and Pamela Crockett. Bowers creates mixed-media pigment ink transfer images, often depicting imagery of nature. Each image transfer results in a unique work of art with a distinctive textural background.

Her paintings incorporate embedded objects that create areas of depth and shadow within the work, encouraging the viewer to take a closer look.
This exhibition presents approximately 20 works that illustrate the honored place birds hold within numerous African cultures. Inspired by our recent acquisition of a rare Pende Gitenga mask of the early to mid-20th century, the exhibition considers the role of birds within initiation, healing, and harvest rituals; within home décor and security; and within hunting practices. Long considered wondrous beings that transcend known worlds, birds have enjoyed a strong and steady presence in African life for centuries.
Fabergé eggs, some of the most exquisite and innovative objects ever created, continue to fascinate with their beauty and complexity.
