| In
anticipation of the wonderful Spring season to come, we have
managed to put together an exhibition which offers a unique
opportunity to explore the works of seven compelling and
talented artists. Participating artists are: Carolyn
Abrams, Sara Bishop, David Doonan, Ginny Howsam Friedman, Kate
Hartley, Gerry Holzman, and David Juckett. For the art
collectors out there, numerous works are available for purchase. |
Carolyn Abrams of Brunswick,
who works in
watercolor and collage states, “Piecing together a collage,
watching colors run together on their own path and using my
brush to help guide it reminds me of a poet or literary artist
working with words of their piece to create a work of art.” |

Putnam Barn |
Sara Bishop of Queensbury
begins her work with
one of her photographs. At the computer, and in her studio, she
manipulates the image. She states, “Each layer that I create on
the computer or paint in the studio represents part of my
initial experience in the mountains.” |
Photographer David Doonan of Greenwich
gives the
viewer a new perspective on flea markets. Bring your sense of
humor as David captures flea market groupings, where “because of
their placement on a table, deliberate or otherwise, … become
part of a greater whole …” |
Playboy |
Love, Lumps and All |
Kate Hartley of North Creek
presents her
watercolors. Kate states, “As an artist, I have always found
inspiration in close observation of the natural world, and in
the ever-changing play of light and shadow over organic forms.” |
Ginny Howsam Friedman of Millerton
says, "I love painting the still life because it is still.
Unlike plein air that is constantly changing, a still life gives
you a lot of time to analyze color and relationships.
Because the medium is oil, you can try and try different hues
next to one another until you think you've got it. The
tricky part is pushing on when you haven't got it and stopping
when it's working well. |
Serape and Scull |
Weathervane Horse |
Woodcarver, Gerry Holzman
of Cambridge,
presents large carvings to small in his work of Memory
and Hope. He states, “I want to remind the older folks of their
childhood; I want to offer the youngsters a window into a world
without cell phones.” |
Dave Juckett of Granville
creates wood sculptures on his lathe, both functional and
artistic. He states “Wood
turning offers a level of creativity, expression, and unique
challenges. As a Wood turner, the next project does not present
itself in the form of a set of blue prints, but rather in the
form of a nice big burl …” |
