These are my little epiphanies,” says Kate Knapp about the 20 works in oil on canvas in her new exhibit.  These small scenes were done quickly to capture an emotional response to an elusive moment. They are full of the texture and energetic brush stokes, dabs, swirls, and subtle layers of color that define Knapp’s art.
