  Barbara Dahlberg is back with a new exhibit of her nature and wildlife art quilts. Endlessly inspired by the beauty all around us, her quilts reflect the colors, textures, patterns and contrast of the natural world. Since her exhibit here in 2022 she has made lots more quilts and shown her work locally at Montpelier Mansion, Greenbelt Federal Courthouse, Chesapeake Arts Center, Ginger Cove Community Gallery and Bowie City Hall Art Gallery. Her work was also displayed nationally at the Virginia Quilt Museum, Smoky Mountain Quilt Show, Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival, Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza and Pacific International Quilt Festival.  Her Jaguar art quilt has been traveling to quilt shows around the country as part of Inspired By Endangered Species and is included in the book by the same name by Donna Marcinkowski DeSoto. She looks forward to sharing her artwork with you in Hollingsworth Gallery in July. You can see all of Barbara’s quilts on her website www.barbarasartquilts.com and meet Barbara at a reception for this exhibit on Saturday, July 6, 2024 from 2-4 PM in the gallery.

  David Jonathan Cohen photographs birds and other wildlife around the world. Few destinations attract him as often as Patuxent Research Refuge, which he has visited more than 40 times in the last decade and where he took most of the photographs in this exhibit.

  David is expressing his gratitude by making this exhibit a fund-raiser for the non-profit Friends of Patuxent Research Refuge. The full price of any photo you buy will go to the Friends for its mission of supporting “research, wildlife conservation, and education” at Patuxent.

  This exhibit follows a four-month solo show of David’s work at the Cosmos Club, Washington, DC, in 2023, and precedes another solo show from September through November 2024 at the Brookside Nature Center, Wheaton, MD. David’s photos have appeared in books, magazines, newspapers, websites, and exhibitions. He also contributes the use of his photos to conservation nonprofits. In Rock Creek Park and Linnean Park in Washington, DC, posters featuring David’s photos help visitors identify the birds, butterflies, and other creatures they see. To see more than 1,400 of his photos from around the world, please check Instagram at @DavidCohenPhotoDC.
