Studio Neptune, a children’s art studio and workshop, is hosting a special event to celebrate a new collection by founder Elyse Harrison on Dec. 1 and Dec. 2.

The studio, located at 5001 Wilson Lane, will be open on both days from noon to 4 p.m. for its “Animals and People,” exhibit:

“Animals and People”, new mixed media work from Bethesda artist Elyse Harrison, features densely drawn and painted plaster figures,often embedded with surprise elements like aged wood or metal objects. Harrison’s long career working with children influences these sometimes playfully dark, engaging characters, a 3D component of her portfolio which also includes paintings on paper and wood.
