Sanford Roth:  Recent Work
On exhibit in the Ramsdell Room

In this exhibit, Pelham artist Sanford Roth has put together a collection of his latest work, featuring abstract designs painted on wood panels using acrylic paint. In each piece Sandy has tried to create an image that captures the viewer’s eye and challenges it to play with the design. He hopes his viewers enjoy the show.
