"Critters & Cowboy Trails" by Connie Rhodes

This exhibit in the West Gallery will feature acrylic paintings by Newton, Kansas, artist Connie Rhodes.

Connie’s work is inspired by the wildlife and landscape that invite us to slow down and notice the beauty woven into everyday life.
She paints nature and animals of all kinds in a way to honor these gifts placed before us. Connie says it is her hope that each piece offers viewers a moment to ponder on the little things in life that bring joy.
