Submitted photo - Another tree image by artist Julie Gonzales

Creaturas Aboreas/Tree Creatures is a series of photographs Gonzales made while hiking through woodlands and forests.

She is motivated by a love for all things natural and a strong sense of the spiritual in the universe.

"It may change the way you look at trees forever," she said.

Williard has developed a strong rhythm guitar and an articulate finger-picking style that compliments both her original compositions and her renditions of popular ballads and folk songs she includes in her repertoire.

The presentation and concert are held in the Feature Gallery Room where the current exhibition, From Roots To Leaves, is showing.
