Betty Bryden and Tom Canouse

To get to us turn off Church Street onto Ridge across from the purple house – just down the street from Joe Weldens. We are the last house on the right at the end of the second block – the corner of Ridge and Laurel. Lost? Call 278-5077.

Tom will show wood carvings and wood cuts. Return visitors will see some new directions as well as the animal based imagery they are used to; new visitors will see a delightful perspective on nature and man by this carver with a 30 plus year history of working in wood.

Betty will be showing her most recent collages and paintings inspired by the rich landscape and seasonal variations of Susquehanna County. The collages continue her involvement with handmade papers and different techniques of paper altering (like paste paper).

In the past she has primarily used papers from Japan and Thailand. This year, thanks to a delightful encounter with paper maker, June Tyler, she will show work incorporating her own papers with interesting inclusions and textures.

Tom and Betty are owners of The Butternut Gallery & Second Story Books at 42 Church Street in Montrose. The gallery is open March through December and regularly exhibits many of the artists on the “tour” on a regular basis.
