“Off Season” by Mary Ann Rossoni | Opening Reception Sun., Dec 1, 2-4pm, Open to all
Opening Reception Sunday, December 1, 2-4 pm
Newport, R.I., November 25, 2024 – Gallery Sitka’s latest exhibition, “Off Season” by Mary Ann Rossoni opens with a reception on Sunday, December 1, 2-4pm at Gallery Sitka in Newport, on the corner of Spring and Franklin Streets. On the following Sunday, December 8, the exhibit will also be one of the stops on the Newport Art Trolley & Gallery Stroll. The reception and the trolley are free and open to the public. The show will be up through the end of December.
Providence resident, Ms. Rossoni offers, “Whether urban or pastoral landscapes, I strive for compelling compositions. My paintings are accessible, inviting viewers to create their own stories. Fellow painters have said my work is Hopper-esque; I believe their attributions refer to the feelings invoked when viewing his work – the stand-alone house, the empty building. What stories do they tell? What secrets do they hold? Through my studies at Rhode Island School of Design and my 30 years as a graphic designer and musician, my visual and musical influences lean toward the illustrative.”
Gallery Sitka owner, Tamar Russell Brown shares, “Mary Ann Rossoni is an incredibly fun person and that shows in her work. Knowing her for 20 years has been a joy. Since we opened a gallery in Newport, it has been a pleasure to reconnect with her. This is her second annual show at Gallery Sitka and we are excited to close the year with her work. Come by for a glass of wine, snacks and meet the artist!”
