“My art is about transforming a lowly disposable everyday object, like the paper plate, into a precious one,” she said. “A paper plate is made to be disposed of, much like our birth ends in death. What we do with our lives is what brings meaning to it.”
Ms. Sutton is another art show veteran.

“My work is about the interconnectivity between all things,” she said. “It is inspired by the relationship I have with nature and my surroundings. I use webbing forms and layers to create depth and an atmosphere for my viewers to explore.”
The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public.
