March Featured Artists – Louise Dusinberre & Erick Sahler

Our reopening exhibit is very exciting. I consider the work of both artists as refections of life on Delmarva. Artists, Louise Dusinberre and Erick Sahler, treasure the uniqueness of simple pleasures we see everyday. Their work is definitely defined as “narrative.” This show will tell their stories.

Louise Dusinberre is the daughter of Martha Graham, a well-known, area artist of many talents, who passed her creative genes on to her daughter. Louise has spent may visits to the area enjoying pleasant weekends and holidays at Cellar House, the family home of Martha and her late husband, Jack Graham, located on the Pocomoke River. Her pastels are inspired by those visits.

Erick Sahler is no stranger to Bishop’s Stock. It has been a pleasure to have his serigraphs and prints available for patrons, many who are visitors to the area. Erick is truly a storyteller. While his prints are so visually well-composed, they also tell a story of a time and place. As he comments, in his travels up and down Delmarva, he has discovered the “icons and institutions” that have influenced his work. This is Erick’s second show with us. His work is not often shown together but we are fortunate to have 22 new prints, created since the pandemic, give us a “tour across the Peninsula.” As Erick says, “this is the first time I myself will see all these pieces collected together in one setting.” Discover Delmarva will be quite a show for all of us.

Opening Reception & Wine Tasting for Lois Engberg, Kathryn Engberg & Tsultrim Tenzin

 

 

Come see an always amazing show of new work by Lois Engberg. Her classical still lifes will be mixed with her regional landscapes. Daughter, Kathryn Engberg, and Kathryn’s husband, Tsultrim Tenzin, will add recent work to the exhibit. Best of all, Lois’s mother, Barbara Beachamp, will add new paintings to make this a multigenerational show.

March Featured Artists – Maureen Farrell & Karen Kinser

Our March show welcomes true spring with the art of two very talented women. The show, titled Drawing from Within, has Maureen Farrell returning and introduces Karen Kinser. As you can see from the work shown on their websites – Maureen Farrell and Karen Kinser – both address what they feel with their contemporary paintings. Maureen shares her emotions with her figurative acrylic paintings which start with journaling and sketching. Karen takes a similar approach to her drawing and oil paintings by incorporating her background in graphic design. Her primary interest is color. Both artists let their emotions drive what they paint. Maureen uses a process and Karen uses color and shapes. All of the paintings are in albums on our Facebook page. Below is a selection of some of the paintings in the show.

Opening Reception for Ann Hayden & Maurice Spector

In October Ann Hayden and Maurice Spector will be featured. Both artists are inspired by life on the Eastern Shore of Virginia but not in the usual way. Their greatest fascination is with the sculptural quality of birds. How fortunate we are to have each new show bring exciting art work to our walls.
