Personal Interiors by Diane Nevinsmith

Jun 22, 2023

As a practicing artist for the last 50 years, I have I have covered a lot of different mediums.  Oils, printmaking, stained glass, sumi-e, suminagashi, paper marbling, and paper-making.  For the last 20 years, I have worked mostly in watercolor.  My newest work is watercolor portraits.  It is my intention to create a portrait, not for the sake of representing a likeness, but to intrigue and interest the viewer to want to know more about the person.  What are they doing?  What are they thinking? It is my hope that the viewer will be inspired to create a story in their mind to go with the portrait; that it will resonate with their own life experience in some way.

 

The exhibition opens July 6th, and can be viewed Monday – Friday 10-6 pm, Thursday 10-8 pm and Saturday 10-4 pm until July 31st
Masks are optional in the gallery

New Works by Lynne Adams

Jun 1, 2023

Lynne Adams’ latest artwork explores the profound spiritual connection between nature and the human experience, particularly focusing on the landscapes of Western Massachusetts. Through her unique technique of cold wax and oil painting, she delves into the transformative power of the natural world and its ability to heal and provide sanctuary.

In her paintings, Lynne aims to capture the essence of the spiritual energy that emanates from the landscapes she encounters. The use of cold wax and oil allows her to create rich and textured surfaces, enhancing her artwork’s tactile and sensory experience. With expressive brushwork and a harmonious color palette, she invites viewers to immerse themselves in the healing presence of nature.

New Works opens on June 6th and is on view Mon-Fri 10 AM – 6 PM, Thurs 10 AM – 8 PM, Sat 10 AM – 4 PM until July 1st.

Nature’s Resilience by Olwen O’Herlihy

Mar 29, 2023

May 4th – May 31st

Artist Statment:
Nature’s Resilience is simply the key to our very existence.  The earth with its rich and diverse bounty and our Oceans which may save us all in the end due to Climate Change are what sustain us.  I found this out as I was Learning my trade as an artist and have extended this search to the Oceans.   It seems each day we are feeling our equilibrium askew with a continuing barrage from outside sources that affect much more than we ever imagined. I am exploring the forests both on earth and below the oceans. It’s almost unreal in its intensity and disturbance. No matter who or where you are from, something new and awful has occurred to us all. My way of responding is to find a way to try and live my life to its fullest and appreciate how beautiful it can be by doing my art.  And- at the same time stay connected and try for change!  Time will tell where it all settles. Nature and what it brings to our daily lives is the ultimate healer.  These monotype, dry points, intaglio etchings ,  and a few watercolors will center on this experience and hopefully bring a sense of stillness and quietude to the viewer. That is my hope.

Opening reception Thursday, May 11th from 5 to 7 PM
