Avetta's work showcases the many faces of this great city, with images of its nighttime hotspots in the Delmar Loop; the serene Jewel Box; its urban wildlife; and historic sites such as the Fox Theatre and Grant's Farm.

| "A sprawling, concrete serpent marks the entrance to City Museum. Housed in the 600,000-square-foot former International Shoe Co., the museum is an eclectic mix of children's playground, funhouse, and surrealistic pavilion, all created out of found and recycled objects by sculptor Bob Cassilly."
-from page 26 "The glass conservatory of the Sachs Butterfly House is the home of hundreds of butterflies in free flight. The landscaped grounds offer the opportunity to see native butterflies in a natural environment."
