The exhibition takes place in the Wisner House of the beautiful Reeves-Reed Arboretum's grounds, a setting that complements Pamela Casper’s captivating Plein Air paintings which grace the foyer walls. Also showcased are a multitude of paintings from “The Tornado Series”, along with Casper’s more recent watercolor and oil paints exploring the subterranean world of roots and natural forms beneath the earth. The exhibition culminates with site-specific installation pieces such as “Abandoned Nest,” crafted from barbed wire and other found materials.
