"misc. & etc." Opening Reception

Sheri Fleck Rieth and Tom Lee have been together as artists and a married couple for 11 years. In that time, they have made and shown artworks locally and nationally. The title of the show, “misc. & etc.,” is a tongue in cheek reference to the ideas and objects collected and created over the span of their careers.
