March Art

Tom Barber began shooting black & white photos with a Kodak Brownie camera in the mid 1950s around his home near Philadelphia. He fell in love with the North Country while vacationing along Lake Champlain in 1959 and has lived in Vermont for 26 years. He continues to shoot with a variety of both film and digital cameras. 

Tom's work explores the range of color, forms and moods found in nature, as well as the roles people play and the art we make in our daily lives.  "I look for the often unintended play of light on and in the things we build, the light that surprises us and awakens us to the world. I also seek to capture people in their innocence and thoughtfulness, in their attempts to make sense of things."

"A collection of paintings" 

tribalien. biorganic. spirit. graffiti

Originally from Upstate New York Adam Heckle brings his modern psychedelic art to Burlingtons Daily Planet . His works allow us to see that there are no boundaries to making art with his abrasive intentions and meditative attempts in using experimental techniques.  Adam expresses new senses of dimensions, portraying rejuvenation through colorful layers of pastels, acrylics, and spray paints.

Painting with light is the art of using light other than that supplied by nature or a flash to light a scene. All of the photos within this gallery are creating using a digital  camera, simple LED lights, Pen Lights, and a couple other methods.  The two of us have been going around local spots in Northern Vermont and working with local businesses experimenting with different methods of “light painting.” The images that you see are our results. Enjoy!"

Sarah Robinson is showing her photography in the greenhouse

"Sarah Robinson views art as a process of rendering the unseen visible and the unheard audible. The art experience for the artist and the viewer can, at its best, enable the Touching  of that juncture between the culturally conditioned quotidian and our inner spirits, and, thereby opening the doorway between the everyday and the universal in our lives.  As an artist, Ms. Robinson finds this process deeply moving and motivating.

Ms. Robinson was born in Grand Isle County, and, is a VT Native with ancestors dating back to the founding of Bennington, the Revolutionary War, and the subsequent settlement of South Hero, and history.  She has been a photographer and fine artist all her life, and was accepted into fine arts 4 yr college program based on her painting and drawing portfolio from High School, but chose to enter an anthropology career at that juncture, subsequently her art was, until recently, more of a hobby than a vocation.  Ms Robinson continued to paint and draw over the years but did not show her work, choosing rather to give it as gifts, and her photography was focused heavily on her academic interests with some art photography taken now and then as it struck her, and she did a stint in photojournalism, in conjunction with a journalism reporting job in the 1990s.

Ms. Robinson’s Photography covers a wide range.  Her landscapes are characterized by the openness of sky and the use of line.  Her portraits are candid and have a sense of spontaneity.  Her nature work has a keen eye for design in detail, as well as enigma.  Her paintings and charcoal, pencil, and pastel are full of emotion at the same time that they attend to the details of nature, light, and (often the human) form.  Ms. Robinson looks forward to sharing her new creations with the public in the coming years."

The dining room features photography by Christopher Lisle "This series of photographs was inspired bu the diversity of the Vermont landscape and challenging preconceived notions of aesthetics.  It is the duality of modern landscape as man interacts with nature often dismissed as mundane, that jumps out at me in its irony.  I use the camera frame to abstract the natural world as it interacts with man made objects from their reality gives a new interpretation on the seemingly insignificant."

November Art Exhibit

Cristin Manner showing in the bar:

"As I reflect on my most recent work, it's apparent that nature is an

underlying theme, with a keen focus on trees. Although there is a common  thread of subject matter, the application and the way I chose to represent trees varies greatly. This is because I believe the emotional qualities of nature are not concrete.  They are ever changing with a significant individualized interpretation. Bright colors and the unrealistic depiction of nature inspire me, and I hope to communicate a feeling of being immersed in an enchanted land; surrounded by energetically magical trees where one can imagine themselves within."

October Art Exhibit

The dining room features an exhibition by Genevieve C. Cole entitled “Glass Roots”

The work exhibited in the “Glass Roots” Series was inspired by my everyday surroundings and my travel experiences in both Europe and the U.S.   Many of the images are scenes that I see through my studio window or while walking in the woods behind my house. The many layers found in these pieces are made up of sheet glass, liquid and powdered enamels, mica powder and bits of colored glass called “frit,” which are cut, stacked, painted then fired (or fused) in a large kiln, sometimes two or three times each. Glass is a natural material, both complex and versatile, requiring intense heat and gentle handling. Like in nature, the color and “mood” of the glass will change depending on the ambient light. I hope you enjoy viewing the Glass Roots Series as much as I enjoyed making it.  - Gen Cole

The Greenhouse features photography by Lauren Goldstein.

This series of portraits are a collection of photographs that I have been working on for a few years.  I enjoy photographing humans because portraits allow a photographer to reveal something about a person.  There is always a sense of intrigue when viewing a portrait of someone you don’t know. What is their story? How did they get there? What is happening in this photograph?

I create images that intrigue viewers by making the subject of each photograph hidden in some way.  Instead of revealing information about my subjects, I try to hide their information within the photograph.  Whether the model is blurred due to movement, the focus is too soft, or only half of the body is visible, the viewer will still know that this image is a portrait because that is what the human form implies.  Portraits are supposed to tell a story or imply information about the model, but in my portraits I try to eliminate, or confuse this personal information by using techniques such as soft focus, long exposures and encouraging my models to move as they would naturally.  Because the results are not a traditional type of portrait, viewers must look closer at each photograph to try and understand the image and its subject. - Lauren Goldstein

August Art Exhibit

The dining room features 2 artists this month, Shelle Bailey & Vel Capewell  Shelle Bailey is a life long resident of the Adirondack Mountians in Northern New York. A visual artist and metal sculptor, her paintings and designs in  silver reflect the natural beauty of the area, and echo the haunting solitude of the deep forest. Most of Shelle's work is very organic in form and texture, fossils and gems from the Adirondack and New York State area are common focal pieces.

All pieces are made exclusively by the artist, using only raw materials of the highest quality. This means that no pre-fabricated parts, such as ear wires, clasps, jumprings, etc are used. All components of a piece are hand made.

 

Vel's statement  "I am foremost a colorist. I live for the richness of pure color and nuanced tints whether found in nature or manufactured by the unknown. If there is light there is color and I fly to it as the moth to the lamp. Living in the Adirondacks has given me access to the secrets of the ages hidden in the flora and fauna, reflected and refracted through the clear crisp light. My palette has grown as I sit and watch the light change the scene over the course of a day hiding, then revealing colors I never knew existed before. These hues are reproduced to the best of my humble ability in both figurative and abstract forms.  Currently I am working on raw sheetrock (plasterboard) with oil paint, finding the plaster absorbs the oil leaving almost pure pigment, resulting in eye-popping color. The compositions are abstract and lively, married with music, mostly jazz, as this lends itself to the freedom I feel in the studio to be completely free and a part of the process. The results are explosive and joyous expressions of the magic of making art."
