Outta the Woods: Art from the Urban Forest

The Artery presents “Outta the Woods.” This vibrant exhibit features the wood creations of Tom Babb and Jay Schreider.  Rebecca Le-Babb displays her dried flower. Linda Bird’s glass artistry is also part of this exhibit.

Both Tom and Jay create beautiful, unique wood pieces. They capture the distinctive texture and contrasting color of wood grain, as well as the imperfections that reflect the original tree. Recently retired, Tom has expanded a childhood love of wood into crafting practical and sculptural art from reclaimed, found, or pruned woods.  Using milled logs, Jay considers the shape, grain, and color of the wood as he fabricates his lovely pieces.  Rebecca brings her dried flower art, enriched by oil and watercolor.
