Since then, she has participated in several exhibitions in Fairbanks and Anchorage (AK) as well as Solomon (MD).

In this exhibition, Ina explores the intertwining worlds in which she finds herself; her childhood home in Northern Germany and her current home in Alaska, as well as the worlds of science and art.

Ina Timling will be at the opening reception in the Bear Gallery on Friday, May 6 from 5-7 pm.
