SUMMARY:Nature in Batik Artist Meet and Greet
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of gentle wonder through the luminous watercolor batiks of Ruth Hanson\, where every brush stroke simulates an element in nature.

Evidence of its early use has been found in ancient Egypt\, India and China\, with the art form highly developed in Indonesia. \nMeet the artist Ruth Hanson from 5–7 p.m. on December 5 in the Café Gallery. Nature in Batik will be on display from November 12\, 2025–January 5\, 2026.
