A new solo exhibit by artist Naomi Wilsey is presented by Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea in Natick Center. The title “Glimpses of Nature” represents the artist’s interpretations of scenes from nature. Naomi paints traditional watercolors and Japanese brush paintings, known as “sumi-e,” that reflect her heritage. The public is invited to view the exhibit through July 12, 2023, during Sweetwaters hours. The café is a member of the Natick Center Cultural District. Visitors to Sweetwaters can enjoy the café offerings in a setting like an art gallery.
