Diane Orzel to Exhibit at Conservation Center in Concord

The work of Wilton artist Diane Orzel will be on display at the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests’ Conservation Center from August 1 through September 30.

This pen and ink/watercolor exhibit captures quiet scenes found within the forest preserves of New Hampshire. Orzel grew up observing nature and creating artwork depicting scenes from her experience. She often works on site, doing quick sketches in unusual settings, such as halfway up a tree or at the edge of a snowy trail. At other times, she uses photo references to capture unique lighting or colors, then completes the pieces in the studio using her memories, imagination, and knowledge of wildlife to enhance the scenes.

The exhibit is open for viewing Monday thru Friday from 9 am to 5 pm in the Conservation Center Conference Room. As the Conference Room is used for meetings, please call (603)224-9945 before visiting to confirm that the room is open. 

Founded in 1901, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is the state’s oldest and largest non-profit land conservation organization. Supported by 10,000 families and businesses, the Forest Society’s mission is to perpetuate the state’s forests by promoting land conservation and sustainable forestry.
