Upstream Gallery Presents: Life, Drawn
August 13 to August 30, 2026.
Artists Reception on Sunday,  August 16, 2-5 pm
The human figure has been the subject of drawings since time immemorial. It remains one of our most compelling challenges as artists. Perspective, volume, and light are all critical factors, yet none is more important than the ability to communicate the humanity of our subjects. Show includes the work of Barbara Shapiro, Cindy Zaglin, Stanley Sherr, Steven Purtee, and Tim Hills. Drawing below by Tim Hills
