An impression can be a texture, a feeling, an imitation, or a profound effect. Nature is, in essence, a collection of impressions by design and by experience. This series is a compilation of impressions found and felt by artist Megan Lenherr.

Enjoy a bold and playful scenario of a body of tree images, based on their common names. These colorful paintings by Omaha native Kathleen Zuchniak are designed to be a lighthearted and enjoyable way of heightening one's awareness of a variety of trees.

This exhibit features a collection of 25 stunning photographic works on canvas by G.L. Andersen, a retired computer programmer with a deep passion for both photography and the outdoors. Known for his creative approach, Andersen transforms everyday images into unique works of art, embracing his love for flowers and the natural world. With a playful disregard for photographic purism, he experiments with artistic alterations, often finding as much joy in reimagining an image as in capturing it.
