In September Partners Gallery presents “Entering a New Land” featuring works by Joan Burleigh.
In honor of her 80th birthday, Burleigh’s exhibition of primarily new abstract paintings explores the realm of love and light with works of luminescent color. . The new land refers to the years of the 80's and beyond which Burleigh hopes will be a time of spiritual exploration in both her art and life.
