After several months of construction at United Zion Retirement Community, the United Zion Art Gallery has reopened with an exhibit of Mary Kopala's watercolor and pen and ink pieces and Dave Adams' photography. The exhibit will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Thursday, Sept. 30.

Kopala's watercolors were created by focusing on negative space and using Mount Gretna as their subject. The pen and ink drawings were inspired by her travels in Provence, France, with its picturesque hill villages.

Kopala was raised in Lebanon County and recently retired to Lititz. She has a bachelor's degree in art education from Penn State University, a master's degree in counselor education and a doctorate in counseling psychology. She also studied at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in Lancaster. She was a founding member of Gallery at La Cigale in Mount Gretna.

The photography that Adams is exhibiting includes selections from three different projects. One group is a collection of photographs taken at the Centre County Grange Fair with the intent of capturing the night life of the fair. A second group consists of images of buildings, homes and churches in and around Mount Gretna and Lebanon County. Another collection includes photographs taken in the streets and markets of southern France.

Adams is retired from higher education research. His entire life he enjoyed photography; several years ago he took more formalized training and coursework.

All Art Gallery visitors will be screened and are required to wear a mask covering their nose and mouth.

Artwork is available for sale. For more information on the Art Gallery, including exhibiting, email marketing@uzrc.org.
