Transformations Opening Reception

Hosted by
RSVP by Sat, Apr 11th at 3:59pm
The month of April is a transformative one, not quite ready to herald the arrival of summer, but promising a bountiful, season to come. Transformations speaks to this promise with three solo shows from uniquely vibrant artists. Amy Thornberry: Thornberry manipulates her mixed media and painted materials into portals that cause pause, wonder, and reflection. Drawn to the Buddhis practice of tonglen, which means both sending and taking, through her art, she moves viewers from the dark into the light with often ethereal, layered, and vividly colorful works that dance with meaning and a magical sense of motion. Connie Saddlemire: To experience Saddlemire’s complex, geometrically abstract work is like entering a mesmerizing and intricate puzzle or taking a step into a brilliantly ordered wonderland. Experimentation and innovation lead her into a world that’s filled with compelling change and woven patterns that each explore a special story. Sharon Weiner: Sharon Weiner’s abstracts are alive with light and color, lush and shifting, embodying both sensation and thought. As an artist, she gives form to her own lived experiences and to a profound sense of awareness itself. Describing her work as visualizing self-revelation, viewers will find her work calls to and reveals meaningful emotions within themselves. ​​​​​*** Both individually and combined, these artists’ works embody every transformation that April promises, unfolding a sense of wonder, waiting to embrace each viewer with joy, and as T.S. Eliot wrote “...mixing/Memory and desire, stirring.” It’s a time to celebrate new growth, and a time to remember the past. A time for Transformations.
