Stairwell Gallery: The Artwork of Cindy Reed
Month of March, all open hours
Come explore the works of Oregon artist, Cindy Reed. A variety of mediums and styles will be on display, including pastels, powder pigments, monoprints, cyanotypes, and collage. Many of the pieces combine vintage paper – from letters, maps, ledgers, books and music – with paints and inks, marrying text and image into what Reed calls “organized chaos”.
To see additional works, visit the Cindy Reed Gallery on Dailypaintworks.com.
The exhibition will be on view throughout March during regular library hours. Lake Oswego Public Library is located at 706 Fourth Street, Lake Oswego. For more information, contact April Younglove at 503-534-5667 or ayounglove@lakeoswego.city.
