‘Look Again’ Exhibit at Chatham Bookstore

The Chatham Bookstore is currently exhibiting a show titled “Look Again”. The collection features works by the photographer, Wendy Noyes, and painter, Jeremy Oberle.

The artists selected their works for this exhibit to invite the viewer to take a new look at the familiar environments of plants, trees, and landscapes that we encounter all the time. Jeremy Sherer Oberle exhibits her black ink and colored pencil drawings as well as paintings in acrylic, watercolor, and gouache. Wendy Noyes’ black and white and color photographs of remarkably similar subjects offer a conversation between the two.
