Michael Lindsay-Hogg Exhibition Opening Reception Opening reception for an exhibition of paintings by artist, author, and director Michael Lindsay-Hogg. Lindsay-Hogg is best known for his collaborations with rock ’n roll luminaries the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, and many others.

Created from his photographs of wildflowers, tangled vines, grasses, mosses and other wildlife found along the paths and acres of Columbia County and the Hudson Valley, the work glorifies everyday nature that has become invisible, ubiquitous and squandered. The message at the center of his work is a worldview that advocates protecting the natural world for its own sake. His images are reflections on the power and beauty of nature emphasizing the importance of protection as an act of service.
