Scout Cuomo: Follow Your Bliss

August 1-29, 2013

In a significant departure from her “Submerged” series, which featured human figures in a variety of underwater environments, Cuomo’s new works, called “Follow Your Bliss,” focus on animals in brilliant color suspended in magical, mystical landscapes.

This exhibition, created specifically for Hope & Feathers, was inspired by a newfound cultivation of a childlike sense of adventure and a return to her love of painting. Says the artist, “Art and painting have always been my ways of leaving home without going anywhere.”

The show will open August 1 from 5-8PM during the Amherst Art Walk.
The exhibit can also be viewed any time during open hours, Monday-Friday 10 – 6, Thursday 10 – 8, and Saturday 10 – 4.

Donald David & Arthur Mange: Black & White Photography Exhibition

July 4-30, 2013

Photographers Donald David and Arthur Mange will exhibit at Hope & Feathers Gallery in Amherst, MA.

The Gallery will be a exhibiting a selection of black and white images from these two prolific photographers.

Their inspiration comes from a variety of sources: mysterious images, whimsical signs, animals and plants, unique lighting, landscapes, texture, and more.

The show will open during the Amherst Art Walk on Thursday, July 11th from 5 – 8 PM. The reception is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. The exhibit can also be viewed any time during open hours, Monday – Friday 10 – 6, Thursday 10 – 8, and Saturday 10 – 4.

Sandy Litchfield: Mostly Elsewhere

June 6-29, 2013

Both troubled and inspired by the state of our current world, Sandy Litchfield creates landscapes – rural, urban and everywhere in between – in a state of cubist disarray. She creates these landscapes to learn something about what’s missing: the cities with their luminous promise to fill aspirations, the forests with their unruly patterns of enchantment, the pastoral country as a soothing respite for restoration.

The show opens during the Amherst Art Walk on Thursday, June 6th from 5 – 8 PM.
