Gallery Exhibit- REBIRTH (A Collaboration Between Artist & Nature)
Artist Michael Faulkner’s exhibit “Rebirth” was inspired by a initial loss. A beekeeper who lost his hives to an area pesticide, he turned his attention to the empty hives. Over the course of 365 days he created art in conjunction with nature. He documented the metamorphosis of his canvases over the year’s time and the final result is the exhibit on display in the gallery.
