New Exhibition Opening
Celebrate the opening of Resilience: Charles E. Burchfield and the Constant Leaf! Explore the beauty and meaning found in nature’s smallest details in this exhibition of Burchfield's paintings and drawings.
The heart of this selection of artwork is the beloved watercolor The Constant Leaf (1960), which portrays a single leaf standing stoically in the snow. Created during a time of great personal and national upheaval, Burchfield's painting is a poignant reflection of nature's endurance, growth, and transformation. Visitors are invited to consider the cyclical rhythms of nature and our own capacity to remain steadfast in difficult times.
