Lore Bert is a minimalist whose major medium is handmade paper. She produces two-dimensional pieces as well as large-scale installation works in historic properties. Her subjects revolve around architecture, geometry, and philosophy, with both abstract symbols and representational elements appearing in various ways.

 Mary Joan Waid, "Lemons and Green," 2010, pastel on paper,  25 1/2" x 19 1/2"

Mary Joan Waid: "Stillness"
May 17 - July 31

"Stillness" is an exhibition of recent pastel works by Mary Joan Waid. This group of new pieces presents her traditional, exquisite, and often haunting still-life works with a closeness and intimacy that relates instantly with the viewer.  Almost as a “still” these beautifully crafted images depict a moment, perhaps fleeting, of an ongoing narrative happening with the subject.  Intense color and minimal background detail focus these subjects in a sense of directness that characterizes Waid’s newest works.

Thursday - Saturday: 10 - 5, Tuesday and Wednesday by appointment
