Moose Hill Hosting Lesieur Exhibit

"Capturing the Past – Preserving the Future," the Mass Audubon's Moose Hill Wildlife Gallery's new exhibit, will run from Feb. 2 to March 27.

The exhibit will feature the work of Robert W. Lesieur (1918-2008).

An opening reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, with guest speakers and artists commenting on his work and life.

A prolific and creative local artist, Lesieur was a master at capturing the tranquility and splendor of landscapes. His distinctive style is expressed with felt tip pen and watercolors in this retrospective show that highlights Moose Hill's landscapes and architecture. His works have attracted much attention and recognition in terms of prestigious awards and are collected both in the private and corporate sector. Viewers are invited to take a nostalgic look back in time to experience Moose Hill through the eyes of a practiced master.

The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Moose Hill Sanctuary is located at 293 Moose Hill St., Sharon. For more information, visit www.massaudubon.org or call 781-784-5691.
