    Current Exhibition:
    Author and illustrator Rosalie Haizlett kicks off her new book tour with this traveling exhibit featuring watercolor paintings from her manuscript. The illustrations feature a combination of vibrant landscapes, hand-drawn maps, and close-up views of the tiny plants, animals, and fungi that Haizlett observed during a six-month trip through the entire Appalachian Mountain range (from Alabama to Newfoundland) in 2022. The exhibit replicates stepping into a whimsical field guide.
