1st Friday Art Walk reception with Suzette Ruys

"Bringing Hope"

It's May; time of spring, light, flowers, new growth.  Join our May artist Suzette Ruys who offers her exhibit "Bringing Hope" with an opening reception for First Friday Art Walk, May  1 , 5-7PM in the library meeting room.


   The world today is turbulent with extreme challenges and great opportunities. It is easy to focus on the negative events shaping our day-to-day lives, but on reflection there are always people whose actions inspire hope, love, and compassion. 

This show is a reminder to myself that each of us can work to change the world. The people I�ve painted are not perfect, and some of their achievements might seem small relative to the challenges we face. But I find them inspiring because they are working toward a positive goal that is larger than themselves and acting from deeply held beliefs.

What can we do when we are inspired?
