Hiatus, New Studio, New Beginnings

Agawam River, Wareham, MA

 I have a newish studio.  After almost a month of installing new vinyl floors, painting the walls and rearranging furniture, I am back to work.  This hiatus threw me a bit behind schedule with upcoming shows.  So, I have put the Fall Hydrangeas aside for now and begun work on Agawam River.  

As an artist and also a member of both the Wareham Land Trust and the Marion Art Center, I was delighted to find they will be joining hands in promoting both the arts and land preservation. The mission of the Marion Art Center is to enrich the SouthCoast community by supporting and promoting a vibrant arts experience for all. This year artists are invited to submit works inspired by the natural landscape for the upcoming fall exhibition entitled Along the Trails.  The works must be inspired by, or depicting identified locations, at area land trust properties in Wareham, Mattapoisett, Rochester and Marion. 

As a Wareham artist I am excited to promote the beauty of nature and the outdoor spaces provided to us all by the Trusts and to showcase the local arts.  I am often inspired by the Trusts’ lands when hiking and photographing.  For this show, the Agawam River Kayak Launch is my inspiration.  When photographing there this week, the river was high and fast from Ida’s rains.  The water was crystal clear and the reflections of the greens and the ochres were exciting to capture.
