New Acquisitions opens to the public on July 4 during regular museum hours and will remain on exhibition through September 29, 2024.

Owners Nathana Cox and Lisa Curry invite all to see this show and other art at Raw 1899.“Retreat from the summer heat and come see us, refresh and revive!” Nathana urges. While nature motivates most of Gail’s work, she is also inspired by color.“I’m influenced by great artists, and I love to try to learn from their techniques and experiences,” says Gail. “I’ve discovered different ways and styles from others, as well. However, experience has taught me that there is no right or wrong way to create art as it is an expression of one’s true self, creativity, desires, and motivation.”
