SUMMARY:There and Back
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents There and Back\, playfully illustrative pottery by Bernadette Januska\, vibrant landscape paintings by Marcy Lansman and abstracted botanical paintings by Ellie Snow. In the gallery from September 22nd through October 25th. The opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on September 25th from 6-9pm. During the art walk\, Duo d’Antan (David Digiuseppe and Rob Sharer)\, will play live music on the front patio. The show will include an artist talk by Bernadette Januska\, Marcy Lansman and Ellie Snow in the gallery on Saturday\, October 17th at 2pm. \nPotter Bernadette Januska fell in love with illustration long before she discovered clay\, and it remains an essential part of her work today. Each vessel becomes a surface for illustration. Her work draws inspiration from her Filipino heritage as well as pop culture. Each piece is handbuilt and carved with flowers\, animals and playful messages. “By combining precolonial Filipino motifs with contemporary imagery” says Januska\, “I explore the space between my cultural heritage and my experience growing up across America\, bridging the gap between the two. My ultimate goal is to create functional pieces that can be used and cherished every day—vessels that invite a deeper connection to the simple acts of eating\, drinking\, and sharing.” \nWhat excites painter Marcy Lansman most is the use of color in her landscapes.\nLandsman describes her technique this way\, “I begin by covering the canvas with random blobs of bright color. Then I use a palette knife to create an ‘overpainting’ on top of the color blobs\, letting specks of the underpainting peak through. This year\, I’ve been experimenting with a wider variety of colors in the overpainting. I’ve found that the wider the variety of colors\, the more vibrant the painting.” Asked if she paints plein air\, Lansman says she visits the site and takes many\, many photos\, then uses the photos as inspiration for the painting. \n“At this stage of life\,” says painter Ellie Snow “I spend a lot of time on the rural roads between Hillsborough and Saxapahaw\, ferrying my kids to and from school. My paintings often originate from scenes I pass.” With the title There and Back\, she decided to focus on painting these scenes she passes four times a day. “I am in awe of how they change daily or weekly depending on weather and season. I sometimes took videos from the window of my car and used stills from the videos as my reference photos.” Other times\, she would pull over and take photos\, or even park and walk\, to look at what is often passed by so quickly. “In the end\, I was surprised at how different these paintings are from one another. The season\, weather\, light\, and mood had a big impact on how each one turned out. It’s that novelty that keeps me inspired and excited to get home and paint. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit http://www.HillsboroughGallery.com \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Pattern Recognition
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents PATTERN RECOGNITION\, mixed metal jewelry by Nell Chandler\, acrylic collage landscapes by Adrienne Knowles and hand-made functional pottery by Evelyn Ward. In the gallery from August 25th through September 20th.  An opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on August 28th from 6-9pm. During the art walk Cameron Mincey will play country and rock music on the front patio. The show includes an artist talk by Nell Chandler\, Adrienne Knowles and Evelyn Ward in the gallery on Saturday\, September 12th at 4pm. \nThe commission for a ring inspired a new line of work for jeweler Nell Chandler. The customer wanted a band with brass foliage all around it. Though Chandler often depicts foliage on her jewelry\, usually she paints the image on the metal and sets it in clear resin. The intricacy of setting brass on brass was a new experience. “I was a little surprised at how meditative sawing\, filing and sanding brass foliage can be\, and by the unexpected patinas I achieved on the band.”\nChandler’s niece\, Emily\, is a stained glass artist who loves wearing her aunt’s creations. Emily fashioned little glass “gems” for Chandler. “I could feel my eyes sparkling when I opened the box and started looking through them and pairing them up. I spent the whole weekend making bezels and sketching designs for them in my sketchbook.”  \nAlthough painter and printmaker Adrienne Knowles doesn’t approach paintings with patterns in mind\, they often appear in the choices she makes – the warm colors\, the tendency to place something recognizable in an abstract\, favorite techniques\, tools\, and materials. Most of her paintings are acrylic\, mixed media\, and collage\, though she also works in oil and cold wax medium. Some of the paintings in this show are monotypes\, one-of-a-kind layered acrylic prints on paper made using a gel printing plate. Says Knowles “I love for viewers to feel a little surprise when they observe a painting from a distance\, then move closer to find patterns and randomness\, the energy or stillness\, the familiar or just the vague reminder of something they can’t quite remember.” \nPotter Evelyn Ward tells her students “when you can’t think of how to decorate a pot\, go with stripes. I say it a little jokingly\, but I don’t think it’s bad advice.” Ward has always been drawn to pots with patterns. Their predictable repetition and rhythm give a sense of order.\n“I’ve been employing a lot of patterns because they work so well with monoprinting\, which I use on all of my work.” Monoprinting is a transfer method in which colored slip is painted onto cut pieces of paper\, which are applied to a leather-hard piece of pottery after the slip has dried a little. When the paper is pulled off\, the slip stays transferred to the surface of the pot. This printing technique gives the pieces a distinctive look and texture\, and lends itself very well to patterns. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit http://www.HillsboroughGallery.com  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:INTERTWINED
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents INTERTWINED\, botanical oil paintings by Chris Graebner\, watermedia collage paintings by Nancy Smith and figurative needle-felted sculpture by Lynn Wartski. Intertwined will be in the gallery from July 28th through August 23rd. \nAn opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on July 31st from 6-9pm. During the art walk Reishi Riot will play live music on the front patio. \nThe show includes an artist talk by Chris Graebner\, Nancy Smith and Lynn Wartski in the gallery on Saturday\, August 15th at 4pm. \nFor painter Chris Graebner memories and paintings are completely intertwined. “When I see something that strikes me\, I immediately reflect on how I could go about painting it.” While most of her work is in oils\, she has worked in many other mediums and often mixes them. “Last February I saw the golden evening sky through the bare winter trees. The juxtaposition of the yellow sky and the gray trees was so striking that I immediately decided that I had to paint it.” That painting\, One Golden Evening is a mixture of mediums. The support is a clayboard panel\, allowing the painted surface to be scratched through in several areas\, the background is acrylic and graphite and the trees are oil paint. Not only are Graebner’s life and art intertwined\, so\, increasingly are the mediums in her artwork. \n“There is a space where pure imagination intertwines with complete awareness of what is. I seek to dwell there\,” says artist Nancy Smith. How does the evening light different from that at midday? How does the sky interact with trees? Color choices and painting tools help her find answers to these questions. “I make the choice to experiment with options of paint\, brushes\, brayers\, or water spray and allow a conversation to develop between myself and the surface I’m working on.”\nAs the work in this show demonstrates\, setting and atmosphere have a large influence on Smith’s questions. She uses different mediums\, watercolor and acrylic\, on a variety of surfaces to describe her answers. \nThe very process of creating Lynn Wartski’s sculptures references the title Intertwined. In addition to the mechanics of needle felting\, many of these sculptures combine\, or intertwine\, elements of different animals and plants into one new creation. Inspiration from nature\, fantasy and mythology are all intertwined. “As is often true of my work\,” says Wartski\, “several of these new sculptures also combine elements or embellishments that I have fashioned from other materials and techniques taking them beyond needle felted figures into the realm of mixed media.” An example of these interconnections is a sculpture titled Primordial\, which features a tortoise figure with botanical elements from the forest floor sprouting from its back. The piece weaves together animal and botanical characteristics and draws on creation stories which tell of a turtle rising up with the dry land on its back. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit http://www.HillsboroughGallery.com \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Embracing Tranquility
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is pleased to announce Embracing Tranquility\, kiln-formed and fused glass by Mark Kinsella\, Native American-inspired totems and wall hangings by Jude Lobe and abstract metal sculpture by Jason Smith. Embracing Tranquility will be in the gallery from June 23rd through July 26th. \nAn opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on June 26th from 6-9pm. During the art walk the Jackson Street Band will play live music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Mark Kinsella and Jason Smith in the gallery on Saturday\, July 11th at 4pm. \nGlass artist Mark Kinsella explores the paradox of glass: a material born of intense heat and violent transformation that\, once cooled\, possesses a profound\, silent clarity. Using kiln-forming techniques\, Kinsella creates calm suspended moments in time that he calls his “meditation on stillness.”\nSays Kinsella\, “Each piece is a study in balance. The fluidity of the glass contrasts with its solid form; the warmth of the kiln gives way to the cool touch of the finished surface. Through layering\, texture\, and color\, I attempt to translate the intangible feeling of tranquility into a tangible object. My goal is to create a space for the viewer to stop\, look\, and simply be.” \nIn his work\, sculptor Jason Smith invites viewers to pause\, breathe\, and reconnect with a sense of inner calm. “Metal has been my primary medium for 30 years and this exhibition is my personal meditation on finding peace amid the noise of daily life\,” says Smith. “Each piece is an invitation to embrace stillness without emptiness\, strength without tension\, and serenity in simplicity.”\nIn this show Smith collaborates with Kinsella to create metal sculptures with fused-glass elements\, exploring the quiet strength found in balance\, flow\, and stillness\, and allowing translucent color and captured light to soften the rigidity of the steel. Serenity is not static\, but something that reveals itself gradually through light and reflection. \nFor artist Jude Lobe creating art for this show has also been a way of embracing serenity\, and she hopes viewing her work will produce these same calm\, peaceful feelings. Her landscape paintings take us to places of quiet reflection. Her totems recall the Native Americans’ philosophy of man as part of nature\, and her enamels remind us of the things in nature that bring us joy. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N.

SUMMARY:Embracing Tranquility
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is pleased to announce Embracing Tranquility\, kiln-formed and fused glass by Mark Kinsella\, Native American-inspired totems and wall hangings by Jude Lobe and abstract metal sculpture by Jason Smith. Embracing Tranquility will be in the gallery from June 23rd through July 26th. \nAn opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on June 26th from 6-9pm. During the art walk the Jackson Street Band will play live music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Mark Kinsella and Jason Smith in the gallery on Saturday\, July 11th at 4pm. \nGlass artist Mark Kinsella explores the paradox of glass: a material born of intense heat and violent transformation that\, once cooled\, possesses a profound\, silent clarity. Using kiln-forming techniques\, Kinsella creates calm suspended moments in time that he calls his “meditation on stillness.”\nSays Kinsella\, “Each piece is a study in balance. The fluidity of the glass contrasts with its solid form; the warmth of the kiln gives way to the cool touch of the finished surface. Through layering\, texture\, and color\, I attempt to translate the intangible feeling of tranquility into a tangible object. My goal is to create a space for the viewer to stop\, look\, and simply be.” \nIn his work\, sculptor Jason Smith invites viewers to pause\, breathe\, and reconnect with a sense of inner calm. “Metal has been my primary medium for 30 years and this exhibition is my personal meditation on finding peace amid the noise of daily life\,” says Smith. “Each piece is an invitation to embrace stillness without emptiness\, strength without tension\, and serenity in simplicity.”\nIn this show Smith collaborates with Kinsella to create metal sculptures with fused-glass elements\, exploring the quiet strength found in balance\, flow\, and stillness\, and allowing translucent color and captured light to soften the rigidity of the steel. Serenity is not static\, but something that reveals itself gradually through light and reflection. \nFor artist Jude Lobe creating art for this show has also been a way of embracing serenity\, and she hopes viewing her work will produce these same calm\, peaceful feelings. Her landscape paintings take us to places of quiet reflection. Her totems recall the Native Americans’ philosophy of man as part of nature\, and her enamels remind us of the things in nature that bring us joy. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit www.HillsboroughGallery.com \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Embracing Tranquility
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is pleased to announce Embracing Tranquility\, kiln-formed and fused glass by Mark Kinsella\, Native American-inspired totems and wall hangings by Jude Lobe and abstract metal sculpture by Jason Smith. Embracing Tranquility will be in the gallery from June 23rd through July 26th. \nAn opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on June 26th from 6-9pm. During the art walk the Jackson Street Band will play live music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Mark Kinsella and Jason Smith in the gallery on Saturday\, July 11th at 4pm. \nGlass artist Mark Kinsella explores the paradox of glass: a material born of intense heat and violent transformation that\, once cooled\, possesses a profound\, silent clarity. Using kiln-forming techniques\, Kinsella creates calm suspended moments in time that he calls his “meditation on stillness.”\nSays Kinsella\, “Each piece is a study in balance. The fluidity of the glass contrasts with its solid form; the warmth of the kiln gives way to the cool touch of the finished surface. Through layering\, texture\, and color\, I attempt to translate the intangible feeling of tranquility into a tangible object. My goal is to create a space for the viewer to stop\, look\, and simply be.” \nIn his work\, sculptor Jason Smith invites viewers to pause\, breathe\, and reconnect with a sense of inner calm. “Metal has been my primary medium for 30 years and this exhibition is my personal meditation on finding peace amid the noise of daily life\,” says Smith. “Each piece is an invitation to embrace stillness without emptiness\, strength without tension\, and serenity in simplicity.”\nIn this show Smith collaborates with Kinsella to create metal sculptures with fused-glass elements\, exploring the quiet strength found in balance\, flow\, and stillness\, and allowing translucent color and captured light to soften the rigidity of the steel. Serenity is not static\, but something that reveals itself gradually through light and reflection. \nFor artist Jude Lobe creating art for this show has also been a way of embracing serenity\, and she hopes viewing her work will produce these same calm\, peaceful feelings. Her landscape paintings take us to places of quiet reflection. Her totems recall the Native Americans’ philosophy of man as part of nature\, and her enamels remind us of the things in nature that bring us joy. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit www.HillsboroughGallery.com \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Embracing Tranquility
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is pleased to announce Embracing Tranquility\, kiln-formed and fused glass by Mark Kinsella\, Native American-inspired totems and wall hangings by Jude Lobe and abstract metal sculpture by Jason Smith. Embracing Tranquility will be in the gallery from June 23rd through July 26th. \nAn opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on June 26th from 6-9pm. During the art walk the Jackson Street Band will play live music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Mark Kinsella and Jason Smith in the gallery on Saturday\, July 11th at 4pm. \nGlass artist Mark Kinsella explores the paradox of glass: a material born of intense heat and violent transformation that\, once cooled\, possesses a profound\, silent clarity. Using kiln-forming techniques\, Kinsella creates calm suspended moments in time that he calls his “meditation on stillness.”\nSays Kinsella\, “Each piece is a study in balance. The fluidity of the glass contrasts with its solid form; the warmth of the kiln gives way to the cool touch of the finished surface. Through layering\, texture\, and color\, I attempt to translate the intangible feeling of tranquility into a tangible object. My goal is to create a space for the viewer to stop\, look\, and simply be.” \nIn his work\, sculptor Jason Smith invites viewers to pause\, breathe\, and reconnect with a sense of inner calm. “Metal has been my primary medium for 30 years and this exhibition is my personal meditation on finding peace amid the noise of daily life\,” says Smith. “Each piece is an invitation to embrace stillness without emptiness\, strength without tension\, and serenity in simplicity.”\nIn this show Smith collaborates with Kinsella to create metal sculptures with fused-glass elements\, exploring the quiet strength found in balance\, flow\, and stillness\, and allowing translucent color and captured light to soften the rigidity of the steel. Serenity is not static\, but something that reveals itself gradually through light and reflection. \nFor artist Jude Lobe creating art for this show has also been a way of embracing serenity\, and she hopes viewing her work will produce these same calm\, peaceful feelings. Her landscape paintings take us to places of quiet reflection. Her totems recall the Native Americans’ philosophy of man as part of nature\, and her enamels remind us of the things in nature that bring us joy. \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned by 21 local artists featuring painting\, sculpture\, photography\, glass arts\, jewelry\, turned wood\, handcrafted furniture\, pottery\, scratchboard\, and mixed media. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough NC. Hours: Monday through Saturday 10-6\, Sunday 12-4. For more information about the show visit www.HillsboroughGallery.com \n\n\n	Related
