'Slices of Life', new work by Duane Perreault
Duane captures his world through vibrant watercolor inks and an eye for built objects and natural environments. Composed from thousands of individual dots of color, his work’s small, intimate scale draws the viewer in to see the world through new lenses.

Please join us on First Friday, October 2nd from 5 - 8. Music on the porch with Ryan Milke.

Exhibition is on view through October 24th, 2026.
