Featuring Lisa Nelson Raabe and Anne Hughes
"Art often is about representing the essence or 'spirit' inherent in objects, people, places or concepts. Lisa and Anne's work fulfills this in very clear ways. Whether it's Lisa's used, stained and beautifully embroidered Army blanket, representing the sadness and pain of war, or Anne's tree with foliage made up of insects, representing a deeper understanding of nature, both reach into and pull out a view inherent in these concepts for many. Art can help us see and feel what is around us in a deeper way. Lisa's and Anne's work does this. Hence the name Spirits."– C. Tucker
