Seeing You, Seeing Me by Becky Behar, Gallery. This series is a photographic collaboration between Becky Behar and her then 21-year-old daughter, Leah.

Inspired by Dutch artists, particularly Vermeer, Behar attempts to create images that capture a fleeting and pivotal moment in time – the still of life as her daughter stands on the cusp of adulthood and the artist witnesses the passing of time. Visit Becky’s website or email her at [email protected].

Inspired by the Book by Martha Brouwer, Main Hall. Throughout her careers as an art director, graphic designer and painter, Martha Brouwer has been interested in the interplay between words and imagery. In this show each book’s title serves as a jumping off point and gives rise to a variety of styles and subjects reflecting the delight the artist found in each topic. This show is a benefit for Hands Across the Sea, a charity dedicated to raising children’s literacy in the Eastern Caribbean. Contact Martha at [email protected]
