2011 Exhibits

George Bouret

June 22nd through July 3rd, Opening on June 25th

Graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1991 and began his career in photography while attending classes at New England School of Photography in 1981. Primarily a documentary photographer with an interest in people and the spaces that they create in their lives at home and work, he is also interested in landscapes often in the panoramic form that give an idealized view of the places that he chooses to photograph.

Influences from the great photographic cannon include Atget, John Thomson, August Sander and Walker Evens as well as his contemporaries including Bill Burke, Barbara Norfleet, Jim Dow and Linda Conners. He has made his living as a photographer for over 25 years doing a variety of work with a specialty in Architecture and the documentation of art work and as a custom fine art printer working in silver gelatin, crimogenic and now pigment based printing.

Dale Sherman Blodgett

July 7th through July 17th, Opening on July 16th

A perpetual student of life, Dale finds ways to delve into relationships. During her years as a dancer and choreographer, her work resulted from the study of human interaction. She is fascinated and affected by miscommunication and the resulting ramifications. But relationship is also simply an element of composition: how the curve of one line plays against the curve (or straightness) of another, how the sharpness of a movement or an edge plays against a nearby softening.

Her oil paintings continue her sociological studies: from capturing light and movement in a sunny scene of hanging laundry, recently enjoying a comeback, to the inclusion of figures and the possibilities that are presented by subtle changes in stance, relationship, value, and even the title of the work. the play of the line.

Erika Schmidt

July 20th through August 7th, Opening on July 30th

Is a multidisciplinary artist working in printmaking, collage/assemblage and performance. Erika's work is included in numerous public and private collections and is widely shown in national juried and invitational exhibits.

Erika earned her M.F.A from the University of South Florida, Tampa. She was a featured artist in the 2010 edition of New American Painting and is currently represented by EO Art Lab, Chester, COnn. Baymaro Studio, Duxbury Mass. and Edgewater Gallery, Middlebury, Vt.

Irene Cole

August 10th through August 27th, Opening on August 20th

"Most recently, I find inspiration in random patterns of stones covering a path or washed up on a beach as well as shadows on the ground made by trees and leaves. the natural groupings that occur inspire me and influence my compositions. In Kandinsky's essay, On Understanding Art, he states, "there are two kinds of people; those who content themselves with the inward experience and those who seek to define this inner experience." I seek to define my personal inner experience through the act of abstract painting. the stones and shadows are but catalysts to my paintings. I find I become aware of my own habitual tendencies as I layer repeated circular shapes while painting. I push myself to choose new colors, change placement or brush, breaking a pattern of comfort when painting which is really "an exercise in coming to terms with change." By creating, I am becoming more comfortable with an unavoidable aspect of being human."

Irene (Ewasko) Cole grew up in Ringwood, New Jersey and now lives among the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont with her family. She has a degree in graphic design from the Fashion Institute of Technology as well as one in studio painting from Skidmore College.
