‘Chaos in Ukraine’ exhibit open at the Libey Gallery in Colfax
The Libey Gallery has a new exhibit from local painter Nancy Rothwell titled “Chaos in Ukraine” through the end of the year. The exhibit was inspired by an interview on the news of a Ukrainian farmer who had stayed behind when his neighbors left so he could care for his crops and animals.
Rothwell said in a news release she wanted to capture the chaos of war and a symbol of home before a war. Her exhibit features her acrylic collage style. The Libey Gallery is adjacent to the Colfax Library, at 102 S Main St., Colfax. It is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 1-5 p.m. Saturday.
