Reflections and Memories: Honoring the Life of Sandy Cowan and Karen Atkins

Description

A special memorial exhibit honoring the lives and artistic contributions of two local residents who passed away in 2025 will be on view from May 6 through the end of June at the McNeil Gallery, located at 17–29 Main Street in Cortland. The exhibit offers a retrospective of selected watercolor paintings representing the breadth and depth of each artist’s work. Titled “Reflections and Memories: Honoring the Life of Sandy Cowan and Karen Atkins,” the exhibit features more than 30 pieces, including landscapes, botanicals, nature studies, and still lifes. Together, these works highlight the artists’ distinct styles as well as their shared commitment to the creative community fostered within the Groton Art Class, where they were long-time members. The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular business hours, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 5, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the McNeil Gallery.
