About the Artwork
With such an electric range of artwork, from style to subject, the show is bound to attract a wide audience. One work on display is Pat D’Aversa’s Licking His Chops. Here, we find a grey wolf in stunning detail. The color palette of the photo is an array of gray-scale, except for the wolf’s red tongue and piercing, green eyes. You can almost feel its soft pelt as it stares, eagerly, at you.

A work that is sure to inspire is Sue Miller’s Mercy Otis Warren. In the photo, two young girls, with their backs turned from the viewer, stare up in awe at a statue of Mercy Otis Warren, an American Revolutionary writer, poet and dramatist. The picture’s point of view creates a towering image of the colonial woman as she looks down at the girls outside the Barnstable County Courthouse in Cape Cod, MA.
