Current Exhibit Showcase: April 22 to May 19, 2024

This joint exhibit showcases the works of Paul Locher, Jr, Kenzie Raulin and Ruth Lozner.

Paul Locher, Jr., is a D.C. native who studied art and science in college. After first taking up with a camera to photograph his various design projects, he became more interested in focusing on the world around us. Since 2014, he has collected images from travels across the United States, with about 30 presented in this exhibit.

Kenzie Raulin and Ruth Lozner have been involved in professional art and design for most of their lives. The arc of their primary practices has been different: Raulin chose a life as a graphic designer while Lozner entered a life of academia as an art educator and artist. Since 2019, their paths have crossed. They have found the perfect partners in each other to create work collaboratively. They have had several successful solo shows in New York, Delaware and Maryland as well as being in juried group shows. Six of their paintings are owned and displayed at the University of Delaware and two in the Lewes Library also in Delaware. In addition, their work is in private collection in London, UK, and has been featured in the Canadian Magazine.

Sale of art is arranged directly through Brookside Gardens Gift Shop. To purchase art visit us in person, call 301-962-1448, or email ArtintheGarden@MontgomeryParks.org.
