Ann Getsinger, whose exhibition “The Garden of Curiosity” is now showing in our Leonhardt Galleries, will give an artist talk this Sunday, Oct. 1, at 1:30 p.m. The talk is free with Garden admission. No registration required.

The exhibit primarily features oil paintings, mixed media drawings and sculptures.

“Creating visual art is the closest I’ve ever come to having my life make any sense at all. It’s both indulgent and essential,” Getsinger says. “It’s about balancing freedom and discipline in order to explore this temporary existence, to consider the meaning and sensuality of nature and my personal connection to it. I’m always challenged to go deeper.”
