Artist Lauri Bruce is hoping her âPax River, More Than Just Airplanesâ exhibit at the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum can provide a glimpse into an area that relatively few people have ever seen.
The exhibit, which consists of nine oil landscape paintings, were all painted within the confines of Naval Air Station Patuxent River in St. Maryâs County.
âI thought how much more interesting would it be if I could show everybody the beauty of the base because there are a lot of places people just donât see,â said the Tall Timbers resident. âThey see the barbed wire and all they think of is airplanes. Even the people who work on base a lot of them donât realize thereâs all these really hidden gems.â
