Closing Reception in Gallery 212

A collection of 60 historical drawings from local artist Barbara White Perry is currently on display in Gallery 212 at the Sonoma Community Center. The public is invited to a "Last Call" closing reception in the gallery on Thursday, March 27, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The artist will be present, and light refreshments will be served.

"I began ink and vine-charcoal illustrations in 1999 when asked if I would draw a friend's barn," Perry said. "I saw the old barn laden with wisteria, backlit by the morning sun and sadly neglected. I drew it and continued to create more- there seems no end to the history and splendor of this Valley."

Barbara White Perry's exhibit, Drawing Sonoma, in Gallery 212 houses 60 framed and matted illustrations on display. Each print is hand-touched by the artist, meaning there are applications of ink plus vine charcoal, which gives them a much richer finish than the originals.
