ITHACA, N.Y.-The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University presents Ithaca Artists, on view through August 14. Ithaca is a community rich in the visual arts, and this exhibition series pays homage to the quality and range of the work being produced in our own backyard. The artists in the current exhibition, Janice Levy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Loretta Roome, and Treacy Ziegler, are all serious artists, committed to their craft. From Levy's large Giclée photographs to Pederson-Krag's mysterious landscapes and still lifes, Roome's luscious floral iris prints, and Ziegler's jewel-like pastels and monoprints, there exists a feeling of great care coupled with unexpected discoveries which results in works that instantly engage the viewer. They offer intimate glimpses of their worlds that make us reflect on the larger world around us.
