Current Art Exhibit
Nature is the Muse: Paper Montage Artistry
Painting with Paper Exhibit by Artist Galen Snow
On display January 10 – February 28, 2026 at the Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium in Bristol, RI.
Artist reception Sunday, February 1, 2026; 2:00-4:00 pm.
About the artist: Galen Snow creates paintings with paper. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, she was outdoors as much as possible, raising and riding horses, sailing, skiing, hiking and creating gardens. Always inspired by nature, Galen has been an artist in her core since she could pick up a pencil or crayon and make a drawing. She lives in Little Compton where she is gratefully surrounded by the beauty that inspires her to create art every day.
