RUSSELL — The next exhibit at the Deines Cultural Center will feature paintings by Topeka artist Barbara Waterman-Peters.

This retrospective show focuses on Waterman-Peters’ work from the last 22 years. Over time, the imagery in her Women Series has changed from the dream-like to a strange naturalism.

“I utilize archetypes to tell my story. My understanding of them has come after years of research. I tap into millennia of wisdom, mythology, proverb, fairy tale and religion,” said Waterman-Peters. “With woman as my focus, I project through a feminist lens, examining everything.”

The opening reception will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3rd. The exhibit will be on display from Oct. 3 to Nov. 14. Admission is free.

The Deines Cultural Center is located at 820 N. Main, Russell.
