Newport, R.I., September 18, 2023 – Gallery Sitka’s latest exhibition, One Moment in Time by Barbara Groh opens with a reception on Saturday, October 21, 2-4pm at Gallery Sitka in Newport, on the corner of Spring and Franklin Streets. The reception is free and open to the public; the show is through November 9.
Barbara Groh is a visual artist who has immersed herself in the creative process for over four
decades creating highly personal abstract works of art. Many travels between continents inform her visual language as her sense of place, space and time are influenced by home and landscape.
Ms. Groh offers, “One Moment In Time is inspired by India, Costa Rica and the Connecticut River by their proximity to water. It is a synthesis of location, perception, physicality, freedom and meditation.”
Ms. Groh adds, “Regarding my technique, I use materials that are best suited to communicate my response to a particular observation, experience, or form. One Moment In Time showcases various techniques: acrylic and a natural herbal paste, oil and graphite, ink and watercolor, and cold wax and oil. My art may reflect a quiet practice, a calligraphic meditation, or an energetic expression of freedom.”
Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums and has appeared in numerous publications and collections. Groh, who holds an MFA from Vermont College of Norwich University, has shared her talents and life experiences through teaching on numerous art faculties, primarily Drawing and Painting. She has moved her primary residence and studio from the countryside in Sweden to her studio in Brooklyn, NY.
Gallery Sitka owner, Tamar Russell Brown notes,”Gallery Sitka is thrilled to work with world-traveler, Barbara Groh. Barbara was part of a Gallery Sitka Earth Day Show two years ago. Her textural works are earthy and deep, meaningful in a way that really touches on the heart of locations and nature. She will have works in this show that represent international locations, but also our home beaches, such as those on Block Island. This is a really good show to see if you are interested in what the element of texture via mixed media can do.”
