GREENFIELD — Hancock County Arts Council’s latest exhibit, "Into the Wood," is now showing at the Twenty North Gallery, 20-A N. State St. A group of seven artists and master artisans have used various techniques on wood to express their creative talents. See fantasy figures, fairy houses and ornate walking sticks from Greenfield carver Jim Webb; pictures painted on wood from Donna Shortt, Sandy Hall and Carol Barrett; intricate, burnt animal images — some on cut tree sections, some on paper — from Jennifer Flynn and Sharon Highsmith; master-crafted furniture from Dean Felker; and chipped-wood carving from "Mollie." The show highlights the variety of ways human creativity expresses itself within a single medium. For example, one work of art is a Cardinals baseball bat with a red cardinal perched on a baseball — all as one piece.
"Into the Wood" continues through June. Gallery hours are Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Admission is free.
