Richmond Reframed by RVA Photographers Collective: Janneke Kotte, an award-winning photographer brings together talented photographers from greater Richmond in this exhibit. RVA Photographers Collective, founded by photographer Adam Lewis, focused on strengthening their creative eye by capturing the cityscape through various perspectives. As they photograph the Richmond cityscape the group provides feedback to each other for each study. This exhibit reveals Richmond through fresh eyes. Notes from the Guitar Strings by Karen Palmer: Karen Palmer’s exhibit is inspired by music. As a musician, singer, song writer and guitarist who has played in Richmond cover bands, Karen found the music migrating into her paintings. Guitars and drums found their way onto her canvases. This first occurred during the COVID19 isolation and the results were so intriguing Karen created a full body of work. From RVA to Virginia Beach by Jeff Morris: Jeff Morris enjoys painting the waterways of Virginia and the landscapes of Richmond. His oil paintings are full of color and texture.
