The Johnson Center for the Arts is one of Troy’s historic treasures—originally Troy’s old post office, it has been renovated into seven different galleries.

The “Nature’s Way” Exhibit will be on display until April 13, 2019. It features several paintings that are inspired by nature.

Wyatt drew inspiration not only from things found in nature, but also from Taoism and her training in art therapy and psychotherapy.

The other exhibit being displayed is the Warren Simons “Visual Surprises: Hiding in Plain Sight.”

The title is pretty much self-explanatory as to what the photographs picture—various scenarios that we probably see or encounter every day, but captured in such a way that it really makes you stop and focus.

The Warren Simons exhibit will also be displayed until April 13, 2019.
