A meet the artist reception will take place on Saturday\, July 13th fro 2-4 p.m. Free and open to the public with light refreshments. Call 508-949-6232 for more information. \nArtist’s Statement: “I am a self-taught artist living and working in Paxton\, Mass. I’ve been drawing all my life\, and for many years concentrated on pen & ink illustrations including commissioned house portraits. In 2001 I began experimenting with acrylics\, inspired by the comical antics and effortless elegance of my two cats\, PK and Nellie. From there\, I developed a recognizable\, whimsical style usually featuring bold color and cheerful subjects from everyday life. In recent years\, I’ve started teaching both adults and children\, including my popular “Paint Your Pet” classes. Whether it is my cats\, my son or my surroundings here at home in New England\, I never fail to find inspiration.”

SUMMARY:Slices of Life: Photography by CameraMonkey
DESCRIPTION:Photography featuring landscapes\, black & white\, textures & a different view of life by Andy Mihail. \nJoin us for a meet and greet with the artist on Saturday\, January 12th from 2-4 p.m. with light refreshments. \nArtist’s statement: Photography has always been a part of my life. From the little 110 camera I received as a present in the early 80s\, to the DSLRs I use today. High school provided me with a very wacky\, out of the box thinker for a photography teacher\, whom I credit for letting me see the world a little bit differently. My eye wanders to many different things to shoot\, but those high school years shooting black & white film has taught me to love leading lines & textures. I love a rusty car & and peeling paint on an old building! Being a great influence\, Ansel Adams taught me to search out landscapes. I love catching a dramatic sky\, morning mists or a firey sunrise! Pops of color & finding the “slices of life” among our everyday existence is what you can also find in my work. \nI grew up in Indiana\, moving to Massachusetts just under 20 years ago. Married to an amazing woman & father to a teen daughter\, I spend my spare time shooting\, reading & building plastic model kits. As an avid geek\, I also love to hang with my geeky “MA clan”\, play Dungeons & Dragons\, board games & selling home made & re-purposed items at Comicons. I credit my wife\, Kymm\, with kicking me in the tush to get out there & start selling my photography.

SUMMARY:Best in Show-Paintings by Annie Spear
DESCRIPTION:December’s art show will feature whimsical animal paintings by Annie Spear. \nA meet the artist reception will take place on Saturday\, December 8th from 2-4 p.m. with light refreshments. Free and open to the public. \nAnnie started oil painting at a very young age. She received a degree in Auto Body and enjoyed painting cars. By twenty one she became a union steelworker painting industrial equipment. Never afraid to color outside the lines\, in her own time she painted everything from rooms to houses. She even bought an old Victorian and spent years painting\, wallpapering and yes\, rearranging the furniture in all 15 rooms of it. \nAnnie had heart failure unexpectedly at the age of thirty two. She was the sixty sixth person ever to be diagnosed with a very rare heart disease called Giant Cell Myocarditis. The odds of survival were five years with a transplant likely in the first year.  The last eight years she has had five different major organ failures and eight different potentially fatal diagnoses even spent a summer in a coma. Eventually she was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus. Not able to work or get around well she decided to start painting on canvas again. Painting is a huge part of her healing.  Her amazing faith and positive attitude is the only explanation of how she survived. Her hope is that her paintings make people laugh. Her goal is to add humor to fine art\, a rare combination. \nShe will tell you that having her world turned upside down is the best thing that has happened to her. “It’s as if God enjoys frequently rearranging the furniture of my life.” Annie lives at home with her husband Jeffrey and their beloved kitty named Ethel Merman.

SUMMARY:"Changing Seasons" Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Azaleas in Blue Vase by Louise Douglas\, Acrylic\nCome meet artist Louise Douglas and see her acrylic\, watercolor and mixed media paintings celebrating the changing of seasons unique to New England. Light refreshments will be served. Free! \nArtist’s Statement: “I bring a photographers perspective to painting. Working from photographs is like composing in the viewfinder of a camera but has limitless creative possibilities. I work primarily in watercolor and acrylic but also enjoy constructing collages in mixed media. The natural world is my muse. The four seasons of New England inspire my palette from the soft white light of winter\, to the fresh greens of spring with the riot of colors in blooming flowers. Summer is the morning sun in the garden and on the ocean. When fall comes I try to capture the golden red leaves in an annual painting. With the changing seasons I’m inspired by what surrounds me.”

SUMMARY:"Changing Seasons" Art Show
DESCRIPTION:A collection of acrylic\, watercolor and mixed media by Louise Douglas will be on display and for sale October 2-31. \nArtist’s Statement: The natural world is my muse. The four seasons of New England inspire my palette from the soft white light of winter\, to the fresh greens of spring with the riot of colors in blooming flowers. Summer is the morning sun in the garden and on the ocean. When fall comes I try to capture the golden red leaves in an annual painting. With the changing seasons I’m inspired by what surrounds me.

SUMMARY:August Art Exhibit: Gazing at the Stars and Moon by Kalin Monet
DESCRIPTION:  \nPaintings by K. Monet will be on display and for sale during regular business hours. A meet the artist reception will take place on Saturday\, August 11th\, 2-4 p.m. with light refreshments. Free. \nArtist’s Statement: There are a variety of topics that inspires K. Monét’s collection as a whole but most of all it is heavily influenced by the night. At night all is dark except the moon and stars that shine brightly in the sky. They act as guidance and comfort in dark times thus symbolizing the hope that life has to offer us in order to persevere through any situation. Instead of looking at the negative side of dark times\, she wants the viewer to stay in a mindset of calmness and self-reflection. Through careful selection of the colors and mediums ranging from acrylic paint to ink used\, she creates these serene yet mysterious sceneries.

SUMMARY:APRIL PHOTO EXHIBIT-A Journey Within Every Step
DESCRIPTION:A Journey Within Every Step: Images for a More Mindful Life\, photography by Christian Leatham will be on display and for sale April 3-28\, 2018. A meet the artist reception will take place on Saturday\, April 7th from 1-3 p.m. Free and open the public with light refreshments. Gallery hours: Tuesday-Friday 10-6:30\, Saturday 10-5. For more information call 508-949-6232. \nArtist’s statement: A Journey Within Every Step was born of a love of living in the moment and experiencing life mindfully. Armed with just a cell phone and an admiration for nature around me\, I quickly found that if I stopped for just a moment and allowed the environment to wrap itself around me\, colors popped\, skies became alive with fiery brilliance\, and typically ignored things such as leaves\, branches\, clouds\, and streams became miracles dancing on earth’s stage. Many of my pieces are macro views of bright flowering petals or of blades of grass.. Look closer and see the life\, the veins\, the morning dew gently traveling its path back down to nourish the earth. Feel each image’s character; and become enveloped in the evening’s sunset\, with golds\, oranges\, and bright pinks. \nThe philosopher Lao Tzu stated that “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” I personally believe that if we take that thought a bit further\, and live more mindfully in each moment\, then within each step we can experience life’s journey. It is my hopes that my images will remind you to slow down and become one with nature and all that surrounds you. \nChristian is a local work-from-home dad\, born and raised here in Webster. After a long term stint in Boston\, then Virginia Beach followed by the hustle and excitement of New York City\, he returned to his hometown to raise his children. You will often find him running the streets far too early before sunrise\, enjoying the peace of the waterfall down at Perryville Trace\, or exploring nature’s paths breathing in the fresh forest air.
