The show has many other offerings worthy of note, such as the telling cartoons of Jeff McNelly, the water colors of vegetative mysteries created of tropical plants by Margaret Halgren, the imaginative stained glass creations of Ralph Gonzales, whose use of a variety of glasses, joined with soldered-over copper foil, make the most of both front and back lighting, and Nina Moore’s delicate, water blue and white paper design, “Thaw time.”
