Some of us love it, some of us hate it, some of us love to hate it đ§ either way itâs here! And this show, our last of the year and a group show for the first time this year, weaves together inspired works that conjure feelings of quiet, beauty, reflection, and stillness amidst the cold, dark, but often vividly beautiful landscape of winter.
Our artists have been invited to lean into these poetic qualities through color and texture and capture moments of light and warmth lying beneath the surfaceâŚ.
Thus, we hope you will join us this Saturday, December 6th from 5 to 8 PM to meet the artists and enjoy some festive cheer amongst all of the beauty that winter has to offer. Special thanks to our participating artists for creating this moody vibe that fits perfectly amidst our winter wonderland theme: @karengarnerartist@peteprownart@gregory_blue@jdegruchy_art and @tammy.kushnir đđđ

My painting "Winter, Eastern Glow" was awarded Best in Show in the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art 2024 Biennial exhibition.
I am deeply honored by this recognition and looking forward to attending the award ceremony. https://conta.cc/3SD5JwP
When I was a little kid my mother told me I could draw.
It was something I liked to do. I liked to draw cartoons, people, cars, trees, dogs...
It didnât matter what it was, or how far flung my young imagination could go.
My mother showed my drawings to the ladies in her bridge club. The high school art teacher, Mrs. Fredericks, played bridge. My mother thought she could recognize real talent.
My mother told me things happen for a reason.
My father was concerned that drawing could be a real job. He insisted I major in commercial Illustration. I wanted to paint. He died my first year in Art School.
I changed my major to painting.
I have painted ever since. I always made a place to workâ a studio with tables, easels, brushes, paints and palette at the ready. If inspiration struck, I wanted to be prepared.
Painting is a practice. I do it most every day, inspired or not. When Iâm lucky, the muse shows up. Thatâs the deal.
My mother told me I could draw and that things happen for a reason.
I believed her.
