May 30, 2012
In the 1760s the world’s scientific community was electrified because the transit of Venus would allow them for the first time to calculate the distance between the planets in our solar system. On June 6, 1761 and June 3, 1769, the planet Venus passed between Earth and Sun–each time visible as a small black dot against the face of the Sun for six hours. Transits of Venus always arrive in pairs –eight years apart–but then it takes more than a century before they are...

Event Name: Public Art Reception: Root Works by Linda Murray
"Beautiful Images"
Review

I had the pleasure of taking in the work by artist Linda Murray during the opening week and I LOVED it! The tremendous energy and perspective she has infused her works with made viewing them special.I look forward to coming back to view them again and hope that when I return from my business trip that some savvy admirer of her work hasn't already purchased the paintings that I intend to invest in.
