Mulberry Art Studios, located in downtown Lancaster at 19-21 N. Mulberry St., will present two exhibits in November.

"Emerging From the Shadows," the latest collection of works from Lancaster-based artist Candace Greenberg-Thompson, will be on exhibit in the main gallery, along with "Dark Grain" by artist B. Emerson, whose artwork focuses on detailed graphite pencil and paper illustrations depicting a variety of themes.

"Emerging From the Shadows" and "Dark Grain" will open with a First Friday reception from 5 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 5 and will remain on display for the entirety of November.

Greenberg-Thompson is a visual arts teacher at Lancaster Country Day School. She has been drawing all her life and loves the physical act of drawing and the directness of the drawn line in documenting fleeting experiences. She uses a wide range of drawing, painting and printmaking media to create naturalistic and abstract works characterized by layers and organic lines.

Emerson is an artist from West Reading, who focuses on detailed graphite pencil and paper illustrations depicting a variety of themes. Emerson's inspiration for this exhibit is part of the healing process that was brought on in 2020 after the death of her spouse.

Mulberry Art Studios offers free parking in the private lot behind the gallery. Guests who would like to come in to view the artwork any day after the opening can call the gallery at 717-295-1949 for more details. For more information, visit http://www.mulberryartstudios.com.
