“I’m always working,” Brenda Horowitz says, sitting in her North Truro studio with her right wrist wrapped in a tight bandage, the result of a recent fall. “I don’t stop. I love the process.”

The injured wrist is one of many obstacles she has had to overcome lately: a badly broken hip, an artery bypass, the Covid epidemic. But Horowitz, who’ll be 90 years old next January, continues to paint, continues to be vital, and, perhaps most important, continues to show her work and find a devoted audience. This Friday, Berta Walker Gallery in Provincetown will offer an exhibit of her new paintings, alongside those of Robert Henry, an old friend.

Berta Walker Gallery: “Brenda Horowitz, Peter Watts: Truro & Wellfleet Motifs,” along with “Robert Henry: Solo Moments” and “Penelope Jencks: Portrait Maquettes”

Opens Saturday, August 21, 2021 . On View through Sept. 11, 2021.
Reception 3 - 5pm Saturday, August 21, 2021.
