MARCH 11 – Adrienne Kernan LaVallee

As a painter, I use oil paint almost exclusively. I loved it at age three when I got into my father’s paints and saw the hardwood floor, and my body, as perfect vehicles for expression. If I close my eyes, I still hear my mother’s scream. That introduction has stayed with me. Today, I love pushing and pulling oil paint around my canvas. Expressive, abstract explorations of the landscape excite me, particularly that of New England and Maine’s coast.

MARCH 14 – Mark Davis

The materials for my mobiles are simple. I use sheet metals of different weight and material, steel being the heaviest, brass, and aluminum being the lightest. Flat sheet metal is formed by traditional silversmithing methods, using hammers and forming tools. The balancing is done by intuition at first, and then, as the piece progresses, I can fine-tune the balance so that the result comes as close as possible to my original vision. Initially, I envision the various elements floating in space, relating to, but not anchored to the earth. By completion, each piece becomes its own very personal universe.

Avian Beat – Standing Mobile in Brass and Aluminum w/steel wires, Oil and Acrylic Colors 6x9x10 $900

MARCH 16 – Angelique Luro

Angelique Luro

When I first shared my paintings with a close friend, she said something like, “It’s like ahhhhhh,” as her hands were waving all around as if to say “it’s busy Angie”, as we laughed. “Yeah,” I said, “Isn’t it great?” we laughed some more.  I had finally arrived and permitted myself to become what was in my heart. Every piece of art that I create teaches me something. I like to think of it as an exploration. The inspiration for my work is simple: nature and all she encompasses. My curiosities are vast. I approach painting playfully with a good sense of humor, which I need when things go down the tubes.
