Marilynne Eichinger, former OMSI president, author, and artist, presents A Walk in the Woods. The thirty pieces in the collection were started during the COVID years while walking in the Arboretum and Tryon Creek State Park. Since the paths were narrow, looking up at the canopy above was dangerous, so she paid more attention to what she could see at eye height. She had never paid much attention to tree bark but now marveled at the variety that evolved. Eichinger includes actual bark in her acrylic paintings held in place with an acrylic coating. The exhibit is a botany/art display designed to make viewers pay closer attention to the natural world.
