Aspen Discovery Coming February 27!

Art by Catherine Hess
February 2023

The Truro Public Library is hosting an exhibit of paintings and prints by local artist Catherine Hess. Whether watercolor or oil paintings, monotypes or white line prints, Catherine’s work celebrates the still wild and ever-changing landscape of the Outer Cape -- it’s dunes, marshes, and iconic buildings.
