Lake Metroparks presents ‘The Sky’s the Limit,’ a fall art show featuring the imaginative and mesmerizing work of Tanya Hough. This special one-woman exhibition will be on display at Penitentiary Glen Nature Center from now through Sunday, Oct. 12, 2025, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily.
Hough was born and raised in Florida, where she developed a lifelong passion for capturing the natural world through art. She studied at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, honing her skills and developing a distinctive contemporary impressionist style. Her work uses bold brushwork and vibrant color to transform coastal scenes, familiar fauna and outdoor landscapes into expressive, eye-catching pieces full of movement and energy.
Acrylic, watercolor, colored pencil and mixed media are her focus at the moment, as is working primarily on medium to medium-large canvases. Her approach blends observation with imagination, creating works that celebrate both the natural world and her artistic interpretation of it.
Displayed artwork will be available for purchase. Admission is free. For more information, call 440-256-1404 or visit goto.lakemetroparks.com/fall-art-show.
Penitentiary Glen Reservation is located at 8668 Kirtland-Chardon Road in Kirtland, 44094.

From Michigan visitor to the Nature Center on 9/6/25. We thoroughly enjoyed the Nature Center and the wildlife animals/birds available for us to observe and enjoy. We were not able to visit other parts of the Reserve at that time but will definitely visit on our next trip!
Absolutely LOVED the artwork of Tanya Hough at the art show in the Nature Center.
Wonderful use of the land as a Preserve. Thank you for the opportunity to see it.
