Nevada artists to show in Fallon
The Rising Sun Gallery and Art Studios on Maine Street will feature the works of award winning photographer Larry Neel through July 7.
Growing up on a cotton farm near Lovington, N.M., he developed a love for the natural world while working the farm and taking long walks with his dogs. His photographs have been seen in the Audubon Magazine and have exhibited fine art prints in the Lahontan Valley Fine Art Invitation and Reno’s Midtown Art Walk event.
The Gallery is open Monday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For information, call Patricia at 775-294-4135 or at facebook.com/risingsunartgallery.
