Featured in June – New Work by Deborah Rolig

June 2016-1

In June our 136th show brings Deborah Rolig to the gallery. In the past year we have shown a small group of Rolig’s newest paintings showing her creative “visioning” in smaller formats. Her June feature will offer mostly small paintings along with a few larger ones. True to Rolig’s contemporary style, the paintings express color and energy to stimulate the viewer to see connections in what appear to be her “compositions.” The opening reception is Friday, June 3 from 5 until 8. The show will be here until June 29.

Book Signing with Jen Labesky

And Then She Flew

 

Jen Labesky will be signing her newly published novel And Then She Flew. Come talk with this Snow Hill resident about her life goal to write a novel and what has motivated her. In her early 20s armed with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Indiana University, Jen started writing fiction but soon realized her writer’s voice needed more time to develop.  Fast forward  10 years, a marriage, 2 sons and a move to the Eastern Shore and  her first  manuscript is published. Come chat with Jen and find out more about where she is headed with her writing – and other endeavors. Check http://jenlabesky.com.

As spring arrives, the gallery swings into gear with New Work by Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride. Since 2007 Lynne and Kirk have offered a show of the newest paintings mostly created in their studios during the fall and winter months. Each show has reflected where they have traveled or what subjects have drawn their interests. Each show has also shown how Lynne and Kirk continue to master their artistic and technical skills. Kirk’s work in this show includes influences from their trip to Scotland and his search for the perfect relic truck. Lynne’s work finds it hard for her to escape her fascination with animals. As her paintings show, she loves to capture their behavior in their space. Check our Facebook
album for the paintings. Also go to Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride for updates on their websites.
