textures that beg the viewer to touch them. With titles such as *Don't Be

*But I Have To Go,* the work has a whimsical quality but also provides a
view
into the world of human relationships.
The gallery will also be featuring a new series of encaustic panels of

Please come and join us for this exciting evening of great art and the
curated culture of Steamboat.
