Photos From A Barbara Shermund Exhibition
Liza Donnelly spoke last night in conjunction with the Barbara Shermund exhibit at the United Theater in Westerly, Rhode Island. She was kind enough to send along some photos to give us an idea of the exhibit. My thanks to her.
Finally, a nice touch: two cut-out Shermund figures in the Gallery window:
