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: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.

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:Gargoyles and Graveyards: B&W Photography Exhibit by Paul Szlosek
DESCRIPTION:Stop by October 1st-31st to view the black & white photography of poet and artist Paul Szlosek. \nA meet the artist reception including an open mic poetry reading will take place on Saturday\, October 26th from 1-4 p.m. For more information call 508-949-6232. \nPaul Szlosek is an artist\, magician\, poet\, blogger\, and photographer born in Southbridge\, Massachusetts\, but currently residing in Worcester. He was a founder and host of the popular Poet’s Parlor poetry venue for over 13 years\, and has recently started a brand new open mic and featured poet reading series (with Ron Whittle) in Southbridge called The Poetorium at Starlite. His daily photo blog can be viewed HERE. \nArtist’s Statement: Since I first took a photograph of a cement bulldog with wings dripping a steady stream of water from his jaws along the roadside in Sturbridge in 2013\, I have become fascinated with this strange parallel world of fantastical creatures that exists along side ours\, but we seldom notice: gargoyles lurking in our architecture\, marble angels weeping in our cemeteries\, and fairies frolicking on our front lawns. With my digital camera\, I have sought to capture these strange and striking statuary throughout New England\, and share them with the rest of the globe on my daily photo blog Gargoyles and Grotesques :Don’t Look Up! Something May Be Watching You…\, posting over 2000 such images there through the years. Although the digital images are originally in color\, I have made the artistic choice of draining them of all hue\, feeling B&W is the perfect medium for the subject matter. To misquote a popular Paul Simon song\, monochrome “makes you think all the world’s a gloomy day” and  everything looks weirder in black and white.” This exhibit “Gargoyles and Graveyards” is just a small sampling of these photographs\, but I hope they will be your portal into this eerie yet tender otherworldly universe.

SUMMARY:In Pieces – Photographic Works by Lora Brueck
DESCRIPTION:Ships of Galilee by Lora Brueck\n“In Pieces” combines photography and paper crafts to create unique two-dimensional photographic works.  The artworks are made in a grid configuration using individual collaged photographs bordered by unique papers in quilt-like patterns.  The grids are united by theme\, color\, or shape to tell a story.  The paper borders serve as frames both containing and expanding on the grid images. \nIn the world of digital photography\, where it is possible to create hundreds of images in one shooting session\, a single perfect image\, matted and framed\, may not tell the whole story.  The collaged works in this show delve deeper into a site or event to create a totally new work combining shapes and colors of related\, or in some cases\, unrelated subjects.

SUMMARY:Artist Reception for "In Pieces"
DESCRIPTION:Afterglow by Lora Brueck\nMeet and greet with artist/photographer Lora Brueck. \nLight refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public. \nArtist’s Bio \nWith almost 30 years of photography behind me\, I have seen and enjoyed many photographic processes from black and white film to digital.  In the early 1990s\, I began using infrared film and hand-coloring my infrared images\, creating and exhibiting series including classic cars and carnival rides. In 1995\, I was introduced to making artists’ books\, individual books which use collage\, photography\, printing and other techniques. This allowed me to use my photography in ways other than matting and framing.  Creating artists books challenged me to sequence images to tell a story\, paying particular attention to form and craftsmanship \nIn moving from film to digital photography\, I began exploring mixed media and collage\, using my own photographic images as points of departure. What I find intriguing about collage is combining images and materials from different sources and contexts to create new pieces with a new meanings. I enjoy the craft aspect of decorating  paper\, using paste and various printing techniques.  I have combined these techniques along with my photography in this show “In Pieces.” \nI have exhibited my work in solo and group shows since the 1980s.  As a member of the Sunday Photography Group\, ARTXII\, the Boston Book Arts\, and f8\, I have participated in collaborative and collective exhibitions in the Worcester area.

SUMMARY:March Art Exhibit - The Curious Life of Pollinators

Her interest continued to expand\, learning about Black Swallowtails\, Red Admirals\, Spicebush Swallowtails\, and Promethea Silkmoths.

Through craft fairs\, library displays\, and social media posts\, Nicole is opening eyes to the curious life of pollinators and the need for conservation.  Follow Nicole on Instagram at @naturesperspectivephotos to join her on an endless search for the perfect photos of new and different butterfly species.
