NARROWSBURG — As spring awakens with vibrant colors and newfound life, the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) is thrilled to present two exhibitions that contemplate the unfurling growth of spring, as well as the delicate balance between beauty and decay in the natural world.

In “Tendrils, Limbs, Bellies, and Blooms,” artist Hanna Washburn creates anthropomorphic sculptures of fabric and repurposed objects.  “Beauty in Breakdown” by Catherine Chesters creates mixed media compositions exploring themes of decay and regeneration.

The community is invited to a gallery opening on Saturday, May 4th, from 5-7 pm to celebrate these new exhibitions. For those interested in a more in-depth discussion on the work, both Washburn and Chesters will give artist talks on Saturday, May 11th. See the DVAA website for details.
