Leslie Dietsch and Jerry Gray: Moments in Latitude pairs Dietsch’s oils on panel in exhibition with physically-manipulated monoprints by Gray—forming a transportive installation of landscapes. Portraying the beauty of the Great Lakes and its environs, Dietsch’s paintings capture an intimate and at times nostalgic view of rural and maritime scenes. Gray’s alternative prints memorialize moments from hiking and cross-country travel, manipulating the images in an exploration of the malleability of memory.
This exhibit will continue through June 21, 2026
