Artist, Cynthia McVey, will display her whimsical collages in the Winer Family Community Room & Art Gallery from Nov. 6 to Dec. 2.
McVey’s unique art style stems from her love of stickers and not knowing what to do with them. She started making collages in 2022 using a variety of materials including stickers, craft paper, washi tape, and old book pages. Come meet her at her Artist Reception on Saturday, Nov. 23, at noon.
