About Karen Tunnell:

In 2021 I moved from midtown Atlanta, Georgia to South Amherst, next to a hay field at the top of the Brookfield Trail. Over the year I photographed the trail in every season, taking close-up shots and landscape views of wildflowers, vernal pools, hemlock forests, ice formations, farm machinery and old barns: all images that to my southerner’s eye seemed exotically beautiful. These colored pencil drawings grew out of those photographs and are a reflection of my love for my new place in the world.

Artist Reception Thursday, October 5th from 5 to 7 PM

There is such a lovely glow of the early morning light on Skinner Mountain, the sparkle on the Connecticut River, or the sunlight shining through the trees. My paintings capture my feeling and impression of the beauty in nature and especially in this area. When not painting I love being outdoors; hiking, kayaking, skiing, mountain hiking, and gardening. My paintings reflect my deep connection to nature through color, light, and atmospheric perspective. I choose to paint in oils because it offers richness through applying the paint in different textures and thicknesses which I find adds depth and interest to my paintings. I have lived in Amherst for more than 35 years and have a studio/gallery at 409 Main Street, Amherst #216

The exhibition opens August 24th, and can be viewed Monday – Friday 10-6 pm, Thursday 10-8 pm and Saturday 10-4 pm until September 30th

Opening Reception Thursday, August 31st from 5 to 7 PM

Gone in a Flash by Isabel Margolin

Gone in a Flash by Isabel Margolin

Jul 17, 2023

Hope and Feathers Framing is excited to host a flash show of Isabel Margolin’s previously shown work. These pieces are priced at reduced costs and will only be available for a brief time. Be sure to stop in and see the glimmering colorful display of fanciful mosaics before they are gone in a flash.

About Isabel Margolin:
In the spring of 2009, I began to make mosaics choosing to work in the indirect method, a technique that I have employed ever since. For the indirect method, I place my materials face-side-down on sticky paper, not knowing the final results of my design until I turn the piece over into a bed of cement. Through a certain controlled randomness, a willingness to cede one’s expectations to gravitational forces, and the power of sticky tape I apply the indirect technique to expand the boundaries of this art form. This is a process of chance, choice, and discovery.
