An exhibit entitled Magnolia States: New Work by Neil Peterie will be on display August 12-September 11.  “ All of the pictures are simplified enlargements of magnolia cones that I found on the streets during my morning walks. The works represent the physical conditions (“states”) of the cones whether they were green, ripe, or dried.”  Peterie said.
