Artwork by artists like, Barbara Harmer, who lived in Japan for 7 years. During that time, she studied the art form called "Chigirie"
(Chee-gee-ree-ay) This art form consists of tearing and cutting handmade Japanese paper into pieces to create a picture onto canvas. No paint is used in creating the picture, but it has the look of watercolor or acrylic paint, thereby calling it "Painting With Paper". On Novemeber 12th she will be showcasing some of her amazing works of art at the Betz Art Gallery for the Twelve by Twelve Show.

The  Twelve by Twelve Show is an exhibition of art work in a 12 inch by 12 inch format, and amazing things come in small packages. Paintings so life like the images seem to lift of the canvas. Everything from vibrant abstracts by popular artists to small sculptures.
