Helen Morse – Gallery Talk

Please Join Us for This Special Artist Talk!

Note the change in date to Jan. 31! Hours are still 2-4pm.

Gallery talks are a unique opportunity for us to experience art on an entirely different level. You won’t want to miss this one. Helen Morse will be sharing her journey: insights, perspectives, and process during this very personal, compelling talk.

The BGA’s current exhibit features more than 50 photographs that capture and reveal Morse’s heart and mind through several decades worth of work.

Helen Morse takes fine arts photographs which are windows into her own heart and mind; some are manipulated, some are not, but all represent her unique view of the world. In recent years Morse has also begun to paint on canvas as well. Her paintings may be separate from her photographic work, but they flow from the same emotional and aesthetic wellspring. Don’t miss this opportunity to look back at 40 years worth of meaningful, beautiful, and sometimes provocative work that has shaped the world of this artist.
