June 1 – July 10, 2009

Where realistic still life compositions meet abstraction, one finds the work of Peri Schwartz. In fact, in her most recent monotypes, the artist edges on nonrepresentational art. Working with objects and light as geometric components, Schwartz develops paintings and prints that are characterized by vivid color balanced by tones in black and grey. In more than twenty paintings and prints one can see the range of her style in large canvases mixed with works on paper. Bathed in light and rich with color, these works are not to be missed.

Meet the artist at the opening reception, which is free and open to the public, on Thursday June 11, 2009 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Tidal Pools
Summers in Maine
works on paper by Myrna Turtletaub

Oil pastels by Myrna Turtletaub are macrocosms of small tidal pools and other fleeting moments. Turtletaub’s pastels contradict our preconceptions of what pastels look like with their layered, deep, opaque surfaces. Small works grouped as a series become large – dominating the walls around them. This group of pastels, which sometimes use collaged photographic elements, are complimented by the artist’s photography in this exhibition.

Join us, and Myrna’s friends, at the opening reception, which is free and open to the public, on Thursday June 11, 2009 from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.
