Making Peace with Oddity, an exhibition of paintings and drawings by MARILYN ALLEN and NAN HEMINWAY will be exhibited at the Crowell Gallery in the Moore Free Library in Newfane, VT, November 1-December 10, 2014. The opening reception is on Saturday November 1, 3-5 PM.
The work in this exhibition is informed by ALLEN and HEMINWAY’s decade-long practice of visiting each other’s studios. ALLEN, who has been an outreach painting teacher at the River Gallery School for ten years, lives in Halifax. Her paintings began with landscapes dominated by trees in the wild environment where she lives. The focus of her current body of work has moved into a closer perspective that dissolves shapes into more abstracted forms inspired by both natural and man-made shapes.
HEMINWAY’s life as an artist began as an architect and then turned toward the medium of porcelain pottery. She created many works, both practical and sculptural, that expressed her vision in elegant forms. HEMINWAY returned to painting and ink drawings in the 90’s, creating work that reflects her passion for form, color and the spaces in between.
Both artists will be available at the reception and would welcome visitors to see the work. Please note that Moore Free Library will be closed for renovations from November 8 through November 15. Please call 802-365-7948 for further information about the schedule.
