This week, the Montpelier Center for Arts and Education mounted "Gutters to Garden," a one-woman show by Virginia artist Emma Lou Martin, who specializes in watercolor and collage on paper. One work in the exhibition, "Autumn Aging," recently won second place in a show at Art Works gallery in Richmond. Jurors noted her affinity for finding beauty in "ugly" things such as trash. They added, "This artist, in the tradition of artists like Dada [and] Kurt Schwitters, makes beauty from things others would throw away or not even notice. Emma Lou Martin's wonderful collage 'Autumn Aging' captures that idea with elegance and technical skill." Through Aug. 31 at 17205 Mountain Road. Open Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For details, call (804) 883-7378 or visit www.montpeliercenter.org.-- Jo Lord
