This unique collection invites viewers to explore the beauty\, personality\, and imagination of the animal world through a variety of artistic forms. \nFrom majestic wildlife to whimsical creatures\, Holly’s work brings animals to the forefront in unexpected and engaging ways. The exhibition features richly detailed paintings alongside dimensional\, handcrafted animal sculptures\, creating a gallery experience that is both visually striking and full of character. \nAs you move through the exhibit\, you’ll encounter familiar animals portrayed in imaginative ways—from elephants and deer to bears\, birds\, moose\, and other creatures. Holly’s artwork captures both the recognizable qualities of each animal and the sense of wonder they inspire. Her use of color\, texture\, layering\, and expressive details gives each piece its own personality and invites you to pause and take a closer look. \nAnimalia is more than a collection of animal artwork. It is an opportunity to slow down\, appreciate the natural world\, and experience the creativity that comes from seeing familiar subjects through an artist’s eyes. \nWhether you’re an art enthusiast\, an animal lover\, or simply looking for something new to explore\, Animalia offers something to discover.

SUMMARY:Hiking for the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Hiking for the Soul\nStep away from the busyness of everyday life and experience the peace of God’s creation with Hiking for the Soul\, a new monthly gathering sponsored by Floris UMC. Each hike is designed not only to get us moving outdoors\, but also to nourish our spirits through reflection\, prayer\, and community. \nEach month\, we meet at a local park for a short and accessible hike (about 1.5 miles)\, perfect for beginners or anyone who wants a relaxed outdoor activity. But Hiking for the Soul is more than exercise. It is a space to slow down\, notice the beauty around us\, and connect with God in meaningful ways. \nWe begin with a short reading or meditation to open our hearts to God’s presence in nature. Midway through the hike\, we pause for a simple grounding exercise that helps us center ourselves and fully embrace the moment. \nAfter the trail\, there is time for fellowship and sharing. Whether reflecting on the reading or simply enjoying conversation\, Hiking for the Soul builds community while offering spiritual renewal. \nUpcoming hikes: \n\nSaturday\, October 25 at 2:00 PM – Manassas Stone Bridge Trail | 1.3 mile hike\nSaturday\, November 8 at 2:00 PM – Burke Lake Park | 1.8 mile hike\n\nBring your walking shoes\, a water bottle\, and an open heart. Join us for Hiking for the Soul and discover how nature can refresh your spirit. \nRegister today to save your spot for October’s Hike! \nRegister today to save your spot for November’s Hike!
