Featured Exhibit

Transcendent Nature

March 18,  — May 12, 2025

Michael Abrams is an artist and painter of nature who has exhibited his works around the United States and abroad. He grew up in Rensselaer County in a home perched above the majestic greenery of the Hudson Valley. These views became deeply engrained in his subconscious and profoundly influenced the way he sees the world. Combining a love of art history and images collected from memory and nature, Abrams work offers a glance at personal observations summoning far off scenes, diffused tree forms, and glints of light reflecting off distant waters, all suggesting a selection of familiar fragments of nature meant to recall memory and emotion and instill longing for an idyllic world.

Opening Reception 
Friday, March 28, 4:30 p.m. — 6 p.m.
