Artist Talk With Leslie Peebles August 29

The Appleton Museum of Art, College of Central Florida, presents an artist talk with Leslie Peebles on Thursday, Aug. 29, at 2 p.m. Her work is on view at the Appleton through Jan. 12 in a solo exhibition entitled “Florida Impressions: Relief Prints by Leslie Peebles.”

“My path as an artist intertwines between spiritual, dream work and an ever-growing connection with nature,” said Peebles, who is an ardent environmentalist. “Nature serves as a living metaphor for the connectedness of all things; internal, external and universal. Land, trees and animals are projections and identifiers of self and universe.”

Appleton Curator of Exhibitions Patricia Tomlinson will join Peebles for this talk, and provide curatorial perspectives on the artist’s work. This event is free for Appleton members; included with regular admission fee for nonmembers.

Owned and operated by the College of Central Florida, the Appleton Museum of Art is located at 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala, east of downtown on SR 40 (exit 352 east off I-75 or exit 268 west off I-95). Parking is free.
