“As I was limited on where I could go, I found a wonderful opportunity to walk daily in my neighborhood,” Ms. Hanley said. “All the succulents in this show are from those walks and I was inspired by the beauty all around me.”
Music for the reception will be performed by Duets by a Quartet. Members Bill Severance, Kerri Climer, Ray Magee, and Debby Finley Delamore will play country and Americana tunes.
