Barbara Cooper
April 2025-May, 2026: A Retrospective
On exhibit in the Ramsdell Room

In this exhibit Pelham artist Barbara Cooper shares work made since her NSCAC diagnosis (non small cell adeno carcinoma) one year ago.  She says “Looking back, I am extremely grateful. I realize I am very fortunate to have come through this past year breathing better than I did in April 2025.”
