Award-winning photographer Roberta Anslow is exhibiting a collection of striking images titled "New Works & New Media." Anslow employs a unique and innovative process that gives each image a somewhat painted appearance—which in the case of some of the displayed images is further enhanced by printing directly on a specially coated canvas. Most of her images are larger-than-life, including dramatic close-ups of bursting seed pods or the oft overlooked micro-anatomy of flowers.
