Both Katherine and Cindy find excitement and inspiration in the natural world for their abstract work in different media – Cindy in photography and Katherine in her oil paintings on canvas. Cindy probes the minute details of colorful plants over the seasons to create her botanical abstractions, while Katherine’s work evokes elementary particles forever intertwined, no matter how far apart they are, even if separated by millions of miles."

Mixed media artist Annaleah Moon Gregoire of Greenfield, Massachusetts makes sculptures that investigate and explore the boundaries between physicality, emotion, and technology.Gregoire references historical and contemporary medical and scientific documents to portray both the physical and emotional complexity that makes us human. Unpleasantly Beautiful illuminates the uncomfortable and honest pain of healing by deconstructing anatomy layer by layer, using etched glass to communicate these complex layers.In the artists own words: “By peeling back layers of flesh and bone, I am able to freely investigate the dualities of the interior and exterior as well as the grotesque and beautiful. I find beauty in looking at the remnants of transformation – what is present yet invisible, what rots over time, and what invokes a visceral reaction.”Gregoire earned a BFA in sculpture from the California College of Arts in 2021 and is currently involved with teaching art in both private and public settings. She also works as a freelance artist and runs a small apparel business featuring her illustrations.There will be an opening reception Saturday, May 4 from 2-4 pm. All are welcome.
Shelburne Falls, MA glass artist Jeremy Sinkus brings to the gallery a collection of glassworks showcasing the possibilities of the medium. Using a variety of techniques, flame working, metal fuming and deposition, cold working, welding, laminating and casting, the glass is manipulated into artworks reminiscent of geological forms in nature.Sinkus, long fascinated with the infinite geometric permutations of minerals, considers glassmaking the human expression of the geological process. Experimenting with hot glass, flame working, and later with cast glass, enables Sinkus to make more authentic mineral designs, allowing him to sculpt the glass more precisely. In his own words:“Cast glass has taught me patience and channels a version of a 100,000,000 year geological process. This body of work provided for my participation in an art form that would otherwise only be a geological event. My geological designs have reconnected me to the gem and mineral world.”The artist works in a Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts glassblowing studio, entirely powered by a waterfall on the adjacent Deerfield River. He has shown extensively in the US and abroad, and has been featured in many publications.There will be an opening reception Saturday, May 4 from 2-4pm, all are welcome.
