Current Exhibition
In Fish out of Water, Monika Rosen explores touch, reflection, and longing through large to intimate oil paintings and monotypes. Her large-scale, multi-figurative work on these themes began pre-pandemic and soon felt both disquieting and therapeutic in her uprooted life, which began to see more landscape with less people in it. Thus, a more rigorous plein-air practice was born, along with more quiet, intimate, and single-figure works.
Visiting the Gallery is free. Parking is available.
Featured this month in the
Creative Conservatory
“Brett Desrosiers is the artist/leader behind the company Miss D’s Creations/Workshop. She’s been getting all tied up in her form of art since the mid 90s… Macrame was a joyful outlet in her youth and has become a part of her creative company today. If Brett is not creating a unique piece, she is usually teaching youth skills in the arts, including macrame, theatrical mask building, writing, and drama. The macrame is created with recycled cotton, hemp, natural jute, recycled t-shirts, and bamboo.”
