Birds of the Hudson: Block Prints by Stephen Rengstorf (upper gallery)

This exhibition organized by the Estate of Stephen Rengstorf features woodcut and linoleum block prints created by Rengstorf, celebrating his love of raptors and the outdoors. “I create images that offer the viewer a glimpse into the daily odyssey of birds in the environment this great river provides, “ said Rengstorf of the place he called home, New York’s Hudson River Valley.

Prairies Big and Small: Photographs by Susan Kirt (lower gallery)

Prairies Big and Small immerses the viewer in the rare and endangered Tallgrass Prairie ecosystem and the fragments of this once vast landscape.
