About the Parson Family
Artists Collin, Devon, and Charles (Chuck) Parson share the use of geometric forms in their work, each with a unique perspective on the contemporary western experience. The goal of the exhibit is present universal themes for the viewer to ponder, represented by sunrise and sunsets; the earth’s surfaces and forms; the west’s spaces; and our sense of place in it all.
