MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- The public is invited to visit the Tails of the City art exhibit featuring works by Sally Ham Govan at The Gallery at The Washington Theatre in Patterson Park Community Center.

"I have two distinct styles: charcoal drawings of the dog in lieu of the human figure, and colorfully illustrated scenes of urban life drawn with a stylus on a computer tablet," said Govan. "I was afraid of dogs until I started drawing them and turned that story into a children's picture book."
