A new exhibit is just opened at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts. We went to the reception/opening last Friday. It included children's art, as well as a presentation on moth diversity by Lenny Lampel, a Natural Resources Supervisor with Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation’s Division of Nature Preserves and Natural Resources in Charlotte, NC.
The ceramic artist, Libba Tracy was the organizing force behind this exhibit about bugs.
Ann Lutz just started being a fiber artist, and refuted the term artist. But I noticed her piece had sold!
I must admit to only taking a few photos of this exhibit. These struck my fancy. I'm sure some of the other paintings, drawings and mixed media creations would be as lovely to others.
I'm very glad I attended the presentation also. There I learned that of all the Lepidoptera species, the taxonomy of only butterflies and skippers is just one of about two dozen, while all the rest are moths.
Today's quote:
"My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate." Thornton Wilder, American playwright and novelist (1897 - 1975)
...the giant moth was created by Teresa Coté.
