New Exhibit in the Mary Jo Rines Gallery at First Parish Church Weston — Drawn to Water, by Diane Charyk Norris
The MJR Gallery is free and open to the public 9am-4pm weekdays, 9am -12:30pm Sundays.
On view through November 17, Drawn to Water features watercolors, watercolor montypes, acrylics, and charcoals that explore the energy, rhythms, and reflections of water in motion. Diane’s renderings of rocky coastlines, inland streams, and cascading waterfalls capture fleeting moments of light, texture, and transformation. She is drawn to natural places — from Maine and Cape Cod to Ireland and the Virgin Islands, and invites viewers to pause, look closely, and immerse themselves in the quiet power of the natural world.
On Sunday, September 28, 11:30-1pm, Diane will be in the MJR Gallery for an artist reception. Original artwork in this exhibit is for sale. Inquiries contact Larry Grob /617-817-3123.
