2013 Exhibitions
Inventing Worlds: Abstract Painting by Leslie K. Price, Lorna Ritz and Robert Straight February 16 – April 7, 2013
The three painters in this exhibition all draw from nature using improvisational techniques, but the results are widely varied. Leslie K. Price sees nature as a metaphor for life: “I paint from some aspect of the natural world, and the uniqueness of the space, light, and color interacting with it.” Lorna Ritz’s abstract paintings “bring the landscape indoors. They become like windows that peer deeply into space beyond their four edges.” Robert Straight creates his “own world” that draws from aspects of contemporary life. While he uses math and science as a basis for his constructed abstractions, he embraces improvisation in the execution. Lorna Ritz |

Member Artist of the Month - January 2013
Janet Hamlin
Janet relishes living in Nyack. A graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, she has worked full-time in the arts for over twenty years. During the course of her career she has diversified in many ways. The Associated Press opened an entirely new door for her draftsmanship skills by sending her to Guantanamo Bay in 2006 to sketch a Canadian teenage detainee, Omar Khadr. This would lead to her continuing on as the sole court artist covering the trials for the next six years. Janet also teaches for the Academy of Art SF and tutors local students. She monitors the weekly figure drawing sessions at Nyack Center on Thursday evenings. |
