A new painting and photo exhibit looking at the various shapes, colours and textures in nature will launch next Thursday in Port Coquitlam.
Ken McRae and Therese Lydia-Joseph will host an opening reception for their new show from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village, behind PoCo city hall.
In their display, titled Mystique, McRae narrows his lens on the details of plants while Joseph interprets her flora with acrylic paints and pastels.
