Exhibit of Photographs and Paintings Captures Local Beauty at North Suburban YMCA Community Gallery
As the cold dark winter settles in, two local artists transport us to a vibrant, colorful world with their exhibits on display this month at the North Suburban YMCA's Community Gallery.
Heather Campbell is passionate about oil painting and focuses on the beauty of the Midwest. "In the Windy City, I see beautiful architecture, our lake, walkers, joggers, and sports fans," she explains. Her work on display includes landscapes and scenes from her personal experiences in our region.
Photographer Michael Greenberg exhibits his images of landscapes and buildings from his world travels, as well as his favorite scenes from living around Chicago.
"As much as I love international travel and cuisine, nothing beats capturing Chicago Cubs Baseball, especially the 2016 team and post-season celebration with the skyline glowing in Cub Blue," he commented.
The North Suburban YMCA, located at 2705 Techny Road in Northbrook, promotes local artists with monthly exhibits in its Community Gallery spaces. This is Campbell's second exhibit at the Y, and Greenberg's third. Most of the art is for sale, and a portion of the purchase price will benefit the North Suburban YMCA's Visual Arts Program. For more information about the Community Gallery, contact Visual Arts Director Cathie Winnie at cwinnie@nsymca.org or 847 272 7250.
