TERRA NOVA GALLERY, an exhibit space and gallery for original works of art, will be opening its doors this summer. The gallery (which in latin means new ground) is being established with the express purpose of promoting and assisting the newly-ready-for-gallery artist; offering professional quality exhibit space, as well as assistance with exhibit planning, promotion and sales. While the emphasis will be on assisting new artists, works of established artists will also be exhibited and sold at TERRA NOVA GALLERY located at 41 West 300 North Provo.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS
We're excited to part of Brian Kershisnik's wonderful new book KERSHISNIK Painting From Life. We produced several of the images and are impressed with quality of his first major publication. Good job, Brian!

KERSHISNIK Painting From Life by Leslie Norris and Mark Magleby is available through GUILD Publishers at www.guild.com or at major booksellers throughout the US.

Uncovering the original text of the Book of Mormon: history and findings of the critical text project is a research publication that we found quite intriguing. Using ultraviolet light, we were able to provide researcher Royal Skousen with clear, readable images of writing that had long since become invisible to the naked eye. (For more on UV light check out our Scientific Imaging.) These images, along with others, are featured in this recent publication.

Uncovering the original text of the Book of Mormon: history and findings of the critical text project edited by M. Gerald Bradford and Alison V. P. Coutts is available at farms.byu.edu through FARMS (The Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies) Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.
