Otis Street Arts Project presents:
Complex Simplicity

Works by Joseph Shetler and Jay Hendrick

Opening Reception:
Saturday
 February 20, 5:00-7:00

When viewing Joseph Shetler’s drawings and Jay Hendrick’s paintings, complex simplicity comes to mind; two opposing concepts intertwined into a unifying force. It is accomplished through tedious labor and dedication to their respective mediums.
