September Art Exhibit – We Shall Overcome, Artwork by John and Pam Redick
2020-09-03 - 2020-09-30
Shoreline by John Redick
To view a video interview with the artists go HERE.
2020 has been a year of challenges. We have all had to fight and avoid the Corona Virus and contend with the consequences of doing so, respond to systemic racism and face the election of our lives in which it seems everyone feels that if the other side wins it will be the end of our democracy.
We have both had paintings in shows this year that were impossible to see because they were in lockdown and Pam had to adapt to more visual problems. In response to these changing times we hope that this show will take place, that art is still a good way to react to the events of the day and that we shall overcome all of this someday.

Artist’s Statement:
I do acrylic painting of people as well as seascapes and lighthouses. Originally educated and raised in the Webster area, I’ve been in South​hbridge area since 1979 where I married then brought up my son​s. ​I started taking photographs and had a few in shows in New London CT in 200​8, even having some published and sold. ​About 4 years ago, after becoming a fan of lighthouses, I met Polly Seip, artist from Uncasville who painted from one of my photos which in turn inspired me to try to ​paint lighthouses. Having been a portrait artist, I needed to learn. I’ve since sold several around the country, being inspired from rides and boat trips​ and visits to some mostly ​in New England. I even donated a few to lighthouses to help them raise money for supporting ​them ​and had one put in a museum.

2021-03-02 - 2021-03-31
Stop in to view this month’s featured artist, on view March 2nd-31st during regular business hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10-5.
View a video interview with the artist HERE.
Hello! My name is Meg Harrison Young.
This is my first exhibit. After graduate school I worked for 25 years as an Art Therapist with mentally ill adults. In the almost decade since, I’ve been a mental health counselor. Over the years, art making was a hobby, with long stretches of time when materials lay idle and dusty.
In January 2020, my terminally- ill twin, Martha, could no longer care for herself, and so moved in with my husband and me. Soon thereafter, Covid made sheltering in place another challenge.
Martha had art school training, and over the years had exhibited her work on occasion. Making art again would become a self-therapy and an activity we could share. And then, she passed in November.
The opportunity to exhibit at Booklovers’ Gourmet seemed an excellent way to first and finally show together.

Watch a short interview with the artist HERE.

Artist’s Statement:
Years ago I read the book “The Immense Journey” by naturalist Loren Eisley. In it he wrote “If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water”. It was also around this time that I began my own forty plus year journey as a photographer and I did not realize how often water would be a key element in my images. In reviewing my archives this past winter, the idea of building a collection based upon the theme of water took hold. Memories of some of my favorite images came back and I dug through boxes of old Kodachrome slides to find some of these pictures. Melding the old and the new resulted in dozens of candidates that I whittled down to this final collection. Looking forward and back, I hope these images inspire people to look for beauty in our natural world and in that most common of everyday things, water.

With Cindy’s great teaching skill , Jean learned quickly and soon started getting commission work for her paintings. To her surprise and delight, students in the class were buying her paintings! As time went on, she acquired her own painting style, which comes from her love of nature. Jean has also taken lessons from Pierre Theriault, an artist in Charlton MA. With Pierre, Jean took her painting skill to another level, learning many mediums such as oils, pastels, tempera and oil pastels.

Artist’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 animals, my surroundings here at home in New England, or scenes from daily life, I never fail to find inspiration.

"Seasons", Paintings by Kelly Anderson

Stop in to see the work of the featured artist of the month, Kelly Anderson, in the cafe gallery during regular business hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10-5, Wednesday 10-6.
**Please join us for a meet the artist reception on Saturday, April 2nd, 2-4 p.m.**
About the artist:
Kelly is a self-taught painter working in oil and more recently, watercolor. Raised in Harpswell Maine and now enjoying Webster Lake, she is drawn to painting rocky coastlines, the beauty of trees, birds and all things natural and meditative lake water. Kelly is inspired by her favorite painters Andrew Wyeth and Winslow Homer
Kelly is grateful for developing an artist’s eye for observation, now seeing beauty in things that previously lacked significance. Gratitude also extends to what she has learned from painting that has impacted her life in general: gaining patience to wait for the canvas to dry when it would be satisfying to continue painting, not being frugal with paint and materials in order to create a desired effect the first time, and having confidence that the ugly parts of the painting process in the beginning will bring forth the desired feeling.
Inspired by Wyeth’s Teel’s Island by Kelly Anderson
The theme of Kelly’s show is Seasons. It captures many of her inspirations. Each of the naturally stained poplar floating frames were made Kelly’s husband, Matt.

A meet and greet with the artist will take place on Saturday, May 14th, 2-4 p.m. Call 508-949-6232 for more information.
This is a portfolio on tragedy. We all know the meaning of that word and what emotions come with it. But what if there was some unforeseen side to it? What if we took tragedy and turned it into beauty. Can tragedy be beautiful? Can something as dark and cold as tragedy be seen as something beautiful? And how, just how, can we perceive that?

About the Artist:
Seventeen-year-old upcoming artist Eren Torres takes inspiration from things most people would see as “bad” “dark” and “horrific” and sees them in a positive and fulfilling way, taking away the negative attributes of the world and forcing others to see them in a different way. As a proud member of the LGBT community and born into a Hispanic household, Eren sought to make change with their art. Hoping it can become a tool for the world to see things in common, as well as each other, to create a conjoined and hopeful community.

Beyond Blooms, Textures in our Garden-Photography Exhibit by Don McCallister
2022-07-05 - 2022-07-30
Textures in the Garden by Don McCallister
The featured art show of July is photography by Don McCallister, on display and for sale July 5th-30th in the cafe gallery.

A reception to meet the artist will take place on Saturday, July 23rd from 1-3 p.m.
Viewing hours for the public are Tuesday-Saturday 10-5, Wednesday 10-6.
For more information call 508-949-6232 or email deb@bookloversgourmet.com

Artist’s statement:
Gardens can be beautiful with flowers of every color and hue. But when the flowers are finished blooming, all you have left in boring green foliage. Right? Well, not necessarily. There can be interesting subjects in the garden all year long. All you need to do is look beyond the blooms and you’ll discover a never ending variety of shapes and textures. (And having a talented gardener, such as my wife, to design the gardens helps.) I hope this collection will inspire its viewers to look for unexpected beauty in our yards and in the natural world.
