Beverly McIver's exhibit "New York Stories" is on display now at Craven Allen Gallery in Durham. McIver's works were painted in Brooklyn over the past year while she participated in a fellowship at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation. Using oil paints that she mixed herself, McIver depicted many scenes of urban life including street musicians, subway riders, and her own self portraits. The exhibit opened Oct. 12 and will be on display through Dec. 28.
