The sun’s movement across the sky and around the planet affects not only connection between brightness and shadow but also the emotional atmosphere of an environment. As a plein air painter, Phyllis Shafer captures the fleeting quality of light present in a landscape. Phyllis Shafer | The Nature of Time focuses on Shafer’s personal bond with nature and the reveling cycle of growth and death.
