Visit the McLane Center to see “The Balm for the Wounds We Bear” exhibit by Kathleen H. Peters! Kathleen works with many mediums as an artist – such as pottery, pastels, paint, cement, wood, metal, and glass. This exhibit showcases her paintings and appreciation for the beauty of simple things. Kathleen shares that her technical background in engineering has lead to her understanding material properties of the mediums she works with, allowing her to be precise and produce high quality works of art. She believes this skill allows her to fulfill her “greatest desire: to enrich the lives of others.” This exhibit will be in Concord from September 20, 2023 to December 20, 2023.

An Exhibition of Nature Photography by Bob Fleck, N.H. Author and Photographer
“In all things of Nature, there is something of the marvelous.” – Aristotle
Photo one: Ruby-throated Hummingbird by Bob Fleck; Photo two: Pink Lady’s Slippers by Bob Fleck.
The selections of photography in this exhibition portray the artist’s interpretation of Aristotle’s ancient words. Curated from images photographed by Bob Fleck – Author and Photographer over the past decade, the overarching theme of the exhibit is “finding the marvelous” available to us in the natural world and bringing it into focus via photography. We need not travel beyond New Hampshire and New England to be in awe.
As you ponder the images presented, search for the details, the “marvelous”, the overall beauty that abounds in nature. Many instances presented by the photographer were but a moment in time, yet a memory forever. The collection represents such a small fraction of what is discoverable, if we only take the time to look and see (and sometimes lucky enough to capture) “something of the marvelous.”
