The beauty and mystery of the forested landscape is the subject for the artwork in the Twiggs Gallery’s new exhibit, “Tree & Twig,” opening reception on Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. The New Hampshire forest has long been a point of inspiration for artists from all over the world who come to explore its glory. Today, the forest has taken on a deeper meaning in many of our daily lives as place of respite, healing, and renewal in the challenging times we are facing. The ten local artists in this exhibition share their deep and personal connections to the forest they cherish by using a variety of media from painting to photography to sculpture. Participating artists are Debra Claffey, Richard Gombar, Susan Lirakis, Laura Morrison, Katy O’Gorman, Adele Sanborn, Jean Stimmell, Pam Tarbell, Dave Therrien and Arielle Van De Water. The show runs through Aug. 23. Twiggs Gallery is handicapped accessible and located at 254 King St. Hours are Thursday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday noon to 4 p.m. For more information visit TwiggsGallery.WordPress.com or call 975-0015.
