MEET THE ARTISTS

Karl and Mary Hofmann: Fragments of a Childhood Odyssey

Childhood memories are our earliest recollections, shaping our identity and well-being. As a visual artist, Karl Hofmann has transformed some of these memories into a visual journey, a series of pastel paintings for this exhibit as he takes a whimsical look at the experience of a walk to a barn in rural Germany through the eyes of a three year old boy. Mary continues the 50-year tradition of Hofmann Pottery with pieces embellished with stamped, incised patterns. During First Sunday ARTScrawl, January 4, join us for coffee and meet the artists.
