SUMMARY:MUSE
DESCRIPTION:Sterling silver and gemstone jewelry by Arianna Bara\, nature and figurative watercolor paintings by Ryann Carey\, artistic handcrafted fine furniture by Pete Rodrigues. \nMuse will be in the gallery May 26th through June 21st with an opening reception during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on May 29th from 6-9pm. During the art walk Steve Fishman & The Pied Vipers will play stringy\, swingy blues and original music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Bara\, Carey and Rodrigues in the gallery on Saturday\, June 20th at 4pm. \nJeweler Arianna Bara’s muse has always been nature: pattern\, texture\, shape\, color\, tone and shadow. Her new work incorporates stones from her travels to Tucson\, where yearly gem shows attract sellers and buyers from around the world. Some of Bara’s favorite pieces in the show include Morrisonite jasper\, a rare and highly sought after jasper with strong patterns and color; dendritic limestone\, which is characterized by delicate trickling lines often resembling plant fossils; and subtle but striking Australian boulder opal. Much of Bara’s recent work includes an ancient Korean gilding technique called Keum-boo which she has also used for some pieces in this show.\nInitially painter Ryann Carey felt the title “Muse” would cause her to focus her work in a single direction. “I admire artists who dedicate themselves in this way\,” said Carey “because it offers the opportunity to develop not only technical skill but also an intimacy with an idea or subject. Yet whether from a lack of discipline or scattered mind\, the moment I try to settle on a singular muse\, I feel an immediate sense of confinement. It is as if choosing one thing requires me to turn away from everything else. That feeling of being boxed in makes me resist the very structure I desired to attain.”\nStill\, what she creates is a cohesive body of work in a less obvious way\, showing what strikes her in the visual environment surrounding her. Says Carey\, “My work is an attempt to honor and share these pauses. That moment of awareness when the world feels briefly heightened and clear.”\nFor woodworker Pete Rodrigues the definition of Muse is someone or something that provides creative inspiration. “As I continued to think about creative inspiration\, I realized that having some type of curve within my work always inspires me\,” he said. “So\, I decided to have a curved form within every piece. My mind immediately started to design\, and I’m excited to display wall hanging pieces and furniture that have this curved form within their design.” \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:MUSE
DESCRIPTION:Sterling silver and gemstone jewelry by Arianna Bara\, nature and figurative watercolor paintings by Ryann Carey\, artistic handcrafted fine furniture by Pete Rodrigues. \nMuse will be in the gallery May 26th through June 21st with an opening reception during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on May 29th from 6-9pm. During the art walk Steve Fishman & The Pied Vipers will play stringy\, swingy blues and original music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Bara\, Carey and Rodrigues in the gallery on Saturday\, June 20th at 4pm. \nJeweler Arianna Bara’s muse has always been nature: pattern\, texture\, shape\, color\, tone and shadow. Her new work incorporates stones from her travels to Tucson\, where yearly gem shows attract sellers and buyers from around the world. Some of Bara’s favorite pieces in the show include Morrisonite jasper\, a rare and highly sought after jasper with strong patterns and color; dendritic limestone\, which is characterized by delicate trickling lines often resembling plant fossils; and subtle but striking Australian boulder opal. Much of Bara’s recent work includes an ancient Korean gilding technique called Keum-boo which she has also used for some pieces in this show.\nInitially painter Ryann Carey felt the title “Muse” would cause her to focus her work in a single direction. “I admire artists who dedicate themselves in this way\,” said Carey “because it offers the opportunity to develop not only technical skill but also an intimacy with an idea or subject. Yet whether from a lack of discipline or scattered mind\, the moment I try to settle on a singular muse\, I feel an immediate sense of confinement. It is as if choosing one thing requires me to turn away from everything else. That feeling of being boxed in makes me resist the very structure I desired to attain.”\nStill\, what she creates is a cohesive body of work in a less obvious way\, showing what strikes her in the visual environment surrounding her. Says Carey\, “My work is an attempt to honor and share these pauses. That moment of awareness when the world feels briefly heightened and clear.”\nFor woodworker Pete Rodrigues the definition of Muse is someone or something that provides creative inspiration. “As I continued to think about creative inspiration\, I realized that having some type of curve within my work always inspires me\,” he said. “So\, I decided to have a curved form within every piece. My mind immediately started to design\, and I’m excited to display wall hanging pieces and furniture that have this curved form within their design.” \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:MUSE
DESCRIPTION:Sterling silver and gemstone jewelry by Arianna Bara\, nature and figurative watercolor paintings by Ryann Carey\, artistic handcrafted fine furniture by Pete Rodrigues. \nMuse will be in the gallery May 26th through June 21st with an opening reception during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on May 29th from 6-9pm. During the art walk Steve Fishman & The Pied Vipers will play stringy\, swingy blues and original music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Bara\, Carey and Rodrigues in the gallery on Saturday\, June 20th at 4pm. \nJeweler Arianna Bara’s muse has always been nature: pattern\, texture\, shape\, color\, tone and shadow. Her new work incorporates stones from her travels to Tucson\, where yearly gem shows attract sellers and buyers from around the world. Some of Bara’s favorite pieces in the show include Morrisonite jasper\, a rare and highly sought after jasper with strong patterns and color; dendritic limestone\, which is characterized by delicate trickling lines often resembling plant fossils; and subtle but striking Australian boulder opal. Much of Bara’s recent work includes an ancient Korean gilding technique called Keum-boo which she has also used for some pieces in this show.\nInitially painter Ryann Carey felt the title “Muse” would cause her to focus her work in a single direction. “I admire artists who dedicate themselves in this way\,” said Carey “because it offers the opportunity to develop not only technical skill but also an intimacy with an idea or subject. Yet whether from a lack of discipline or scattered mind\, the moment I try to settle on a singular muse\, I feel an immediate sense of confinement. It is as if choosing one thing requires me to turn away from everything else. That feeling of being boxed in makes me resist the very structure I desired to attain.”\nStill\, what she creates is a cohesive body of work in a less obvious way\, showing what strikes her in the visual environment surrounding her. Says Carey\, “My work is an attempt to honor and share these pauses. That moment of awareness when the world feels briefly heightened and clear.”\nFor woodworker Pete Rodrigues the definition of Muse is someone or something that provides creative inspiration. “As I continued to think about creative inspiration\, I realized that having some type of curve within my work always inspires me\,” he said. “So\, I decided to have a curved form within every piece. My mind immediately started to design\, and I’m excited to display wall hanging pieces and furniture that have this curved form within their design.” \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:MUSE
DESCRIPTION:Sterling silver and gemstone jewelry by Arianna Bara\, nature and figurative watercolor paintings by Ryann Carey\, artistic handcrafted fine furniture by Pete Rodrigues. \nMuse will be in the gallery May 26th through June 21st with an opening reception during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on May 29th from 6-9pm. During the art walk Steve Fishman & The Pied Vipers will play stringy\, swingy blues and original music on the front patio. \nThe show will include an artist talk by Bara\, Carey and Rodrigues in the gallery on Saturday\, June 20th at 4pm. \nJeweler Arianna Bara’s muse has always been nature: pattern\, texture\, shape\, color\, tone and shadow. Her new work incorporates stones from her travels to Tucson\, where yearly gem shows attract sellers and buyers from around the world. Some of Bara’s favorite pieces in the show include Morrisonite jasper\, a rare and highly sought after jasper with strong patterns and color; dendritic limestone\, which is characterized by delicate trickling lines often resembling plant fossils; and subtle but striking Australian boulder opal. Much of Bara’s recent work includes an ancient Korean gilding technique called Keum-boo which she has also used for some pieces in this show.\nInitially painter Ryann Carey felt the title “Muse” would cause her to focus her work in a single direction. “I admire artists who dedicate themselves in this way\,” said Carey “because it offers the opportunity to develop not only technical skill but also an intimacy with an idea or subject. Yet whether from a lack of discipline or scattered mind\, the moment I try to settle on a singular muse\, I feel an immediate sense of confinement. It is as if choosing one thing requires me to turn away from everything else. That feeling of being boxed in makes me resist the very structure I desired to attain.”\nStill\, what she creates is a cohesive body of work in a less obvious way\, showing what strikes her in the visual environment surrounding her. Says Carey\, “My work is an attempt to honor and share these pauses. That moment of awareness when the world feels briefly heightened and clear.”\nFor woodworker Pete Rodrigues the definition of Muse is someone or something that provides creative inspiration. “As I continued to think about creative inspiration\, I realized that having some type of curve within my work always inspires me\,” he said. “So\, I decided to have a curved form within every piece. My mind immediately started to design\, and I’m excited to display wall hanging pieces and furniture that have this curved form within their design.” \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:UNFURLING
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents “Unfurling\,” new work by photographer Kent Corley\, painter Kaidy Lewis and wood turner Rohit Warrier. The show will open on March 24th and run through April 19th with an opening reception on March 27th during Hillsborough’s Last Friday’s Art Walk. During the reception the Jackson Street Band will perform live music on the patio in front of the gallery.\nThere will be an artist talk with the 3 artists in the gallery on April 11th at 4pm. \nThe show’s title\, “Unfurling\,” has resonance for each of the artists.\nPainter Kaidy Lewis feels that her career in art has ‘unfurled.’ If you had asked her when she was seven what work she would be doing as an adult\, her career would make sense to that child – although her journey has taken a whole lifetime to unfurl. Says Lewis\, “For me\, unfurling is about faith. The kind of faith that ‘knows’ the fern leaf will unfurl as designed\, at the right moment. So whilst waiting for events to unfurl\, this series of paintings looks at my favorite things – nature’s fractals.” Those are the repeating geometric patterns found in such things as pinecones\, seashells and ferns. “My smaller pieces in the show are from teaching and demonstrating at The Forest at Duke where I am Artist in Residence.” \nFor wood turner Rohit Warrier\, “Unfurling” is a story of personal and artistic growth\, coming out of an artistic cocoon after 12 years of practicing this art form. “In this my first HGA featured show\, I highlight pieces that have pushed my skills beyond the traditional functional wood turning into a deliberate unfurling of visual elements such as shape\, texture\, color and scale.”\nThe show will highlight a massive 42″ lathe-turned oak tabletop\, to naturally warped once-turned green-wood vases\, functional bowls inlaid with minerals\, textured boxes\, platters with hand carved handles\, hand carved greenwood kuksas\, and decorated cooking and eating spoons. \nAccording to contemporary photographer Kent Corley\, “as an art\, photography wrestles with a central tension: it begins with what already exists.” Unlike painting or sculpture which can freely invent worlds through style or imagination\, photography must start with the visible world. That world offers endless possibilities\, but what is chosen\, and how it is framed\, is shaped by personal history\, culture\, and experience. Every photograph reflects not just what is seen\, but how it is seen. “In light of current affairs I felt this was a good time to re-visit photography from recent travels. These images represent impressions from Czechia\, England and France\, hopefully making their own statements on youth\, art\, aesthetics\, mortality and memory. I aim to leave much interpretation open to the viewer.” \nAbout the Gallery\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The gallery’s offerings include watercolor\, oil and acrylic paintings\, metal and figurative sculpture\, photography\, ceramics\, scratchboard\, turned wood\, jewelry\, glass arts\, metals\, encaustic\, enamel\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery’s hours are 10am-6pm Monday – Saturday\, 12-4pm on Sunday.
