Metro Parks' Centennial Art Center Gallery presents an exhibition featuring the works of Tom Rice (sculpture), Sam Simms (stained glass), and Barbara Rembert (paintings).

Sculptor Tom Rice was born in Olympia, Washington and grew up in Illinois and Tennes-see. He works in a variety of mediums, includ-ing wood and clay, with his main focus being limestone that he carves into elegantly simpli-fied bird forms, bird baths, garden benches and vessels. Recent works combine a variety of ma-terials into totemic assemblages.

Stained glass artist Patrice “Sam” Simms was born in Amityville, New York, and came to Tennessee in the early nineteen-seventies. She studied Commercial Art at Watkins College of Art and began working Stained Glass, Mixed Media with stained glass in 1987. Today, she is the owner of Stained Glass Accessories on Father-land Street in Historic East Nashville, where she operates her studio, creates custom-designed commissions, sells supplies and offers classes.

Nashvilian Barbara Rembert works pri-marily in watercolor and mixed-media. Many of her paintings are inspired by the beautiful natu-ral areas of North Carolina and Tennessee, and often impressionistically interpret lakeshores, trails and the wild flowers of Radnor Lake. Many of her paintings are included in private collections, and her works have been juried into Central South Art Exhibi-tions. Rembert teaches a popular class covering a variety of water-media techniques on Saturdays at Centennial Art Center (in Nashville’s Centen-nial Park).

The public is invited to the opening reception for Centennial Art Center Gallery: Tom Rice, Bethany Reiser, and Barbara Rembert on Friday, June 4, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Refreshments will be served and admission is free.
