The public is invited to an artists’ reception at the Off Track Gallery featuring the photography of John Tsumas and jewelry by Dolores Renner. In addition there will be an award ceremony for the annual Small Image Show winners. Dolores is a local, self-taught bead artist.

John has recently published his first book “Avian Light” in 2014. Inspired by the amazing form of birds and their unique behavior Tsumas has set out to capture them in beautiful light.
