Catherine Sobredo brings an exquisite collection of work spanning intaglio, photography, monotypes, and polaroid transfers.

She is an area fine art photographer previously from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her images, Soulshapes, invoke the inner landscapes of the soul - mystical, ethereal, contemplative, transcendent. Surrounded by portals and the female form, among her other subjects, the exhibition radiates beauty and soul with an incredible eye for detail and composition.

Don't forget your dancing shoes! Free and open to everyone!
