HOODLAND LIBRARY GALLERY

I mainly work with chalk markers on dark backgrounds, because I like the opaque coverage and striking color contrast. I am interested in landscapes and the contemplation of nature. This series of floral images is a reflection on Beauty in Nature, and how some things, such as the COVID-19 virus, are beautiful, despite the terrible effects they have had on all aspects of the human experience since 2020.

Each image depicts the virus (as seen under an electron microscope)as it symbolically multiplies, and yet is part of its surroundings.

ALL ARTWORK TO REMAIN ON DISPLAY FOR FULL LENGTH OF THE EXHIBIT. 

For further information on the artist, or to make arrangements to purchase artwork, contact the artist directly.

🐉 Want to play D&D? 🧌

Let's play Dungeons & Dragons!

Following old-school D&D rules from 1980 -- just like in the hit show "Stranger Things" -- we are a friendly group of players both experienced and new to the game that gather around the table.

When: Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday 6 - 9:00 pm

Location: Sandy Library Community Room

Free group, but seats are limited so registration required.

Register: https://ruckerworks.com/dnd/ 
More Info: Contact gaming@ruckerworks.com

Using a flexible sandbox-style approach, the players choose their adventure. Will you explore the mysterious ruins seeking the rumored treasure within? Or clear a cave complex of ferocious orcs and earn great reward and fame from the local lord? No matter what you choose, adventure and treasure awaits!

We play the traditional way, rolling dice in-person around a table using "theater of the mind" and are open to players aged 13 to 3,000 (sorry, no liches allowed).
