Donna Talerico Oil Painting February 4 - March 31

In the beginning Donna enjoyed painting images of France, the country she fell in love with in her early adulthood. Now, what has become more and more significant to her, is the actual application of the paint—thicker texture and use of various brushstrokes to express vitality, spontaneity and movement. Her work is characterized by bold use of color. Though originally trained as an illustrator, she now leans towards a looser, slightly off kilter, and distilled depiction of people and places. Donna paints intuitively and as she has matured as a painter, she finds myself wanting to push the boundaries of shapes and forms into the borders of the abstract. It is this delicate balance between the representational and the abstract that currently fascinates and challenges her in her continuing artistic journey.
Joseph F. Drury Kiln Formed Glass February 4 - March 31

Joe Drury uses found and saved glass to create his one of a kind glass sculptures. The glass is placed in his ceramic kiln and heated to a plastic state in and over molds. This process fuses and reforms the glass into new and wonderful shapes inspired by his years on and near the sea. Powdered glass enamels are fused to the glass sculpture to create brilliant color fields and patterns. The glass is then carefully cooled and annealed to remove all stress. This process takes at least 24 hours per sculpture.

Also Featuring The Photographs Of Deborah Wilson
