Processed by Jen Cook-Asaro
In this exhibit, Jen Cook-Asaro explores the incredible transformation of food and cardboard. She highlights the complex journey food takes from nature to your plate and the transformation of trees into cardboard packaging. By using 100% recycled cardboard, the artist presents a visual feast that showcases the ingenuity behind everyday items, inviting viewers to appreciate the often-overlooked processes that bring food to our tables and packaging to our stores.

Nothing Gold Can Stay by Adam Reinhard
Adam Reinhard’s return to the Blue Ridge Mountains after six years in Washington D.C. has reignited his senses, allowing him to truly see and breathe again. His paintings are a pursuit of the hidden colors in the Shenandoah Valley, capturing fleeting moments with urgency. Whether depicting the weathered siding of a barn, the flow of a stream, or the patchwork of farmlands, Adam’s bold brushstrokes reflect the truth of his swiftly changing environment and the inspiration he draws from these natural scenes. Alongside his art, Adam teaches high school in Waynesboro, Virginia, sharing his passion for creativity with the next generation.
The exhibit will be in the Port II Gallery at Art Works through October 18, 2025
