SUMMARY:“Seen and Imagined” — Clara Dennison | Solo WCA Show
DESCRIPTION:Seen and Imagined\, a solo exhibition by Westminster-based artist Clara Dennison\, is now on view at 873 Café\, presented by Gallery Sitka. The exhibition features a curated collection of original monotypes and paintings created in oils\, acrylics and watercolors\, offering refined\, nature-inspired artwork well suited for residential interiors\, hospitality spaces and commercial environments. \nDennison’s work reflects an intuitive\, layered approach to exploring landscape\, memory and imagination. Known for richly textured surfaces and expressive\, harmonious color palettes\, her paintings appeal to interior decorators and designers seeking contemporary fine art that brings warmth\, organic movement and a sense of place into thoughtfully designed interiors. \nA member of the WCA\, Dennison creates artwork informed by deep personal connections to nature and by environments that hold lasting emotional significance. Her paintings and monotypes resonate with collectors\, design professionals and art consultants interested in elevated\, timeless pieces that complement modern\, transitional and nature-inspired design aesthetics. \nRaised on a farm in a small New England town\, Dennison draws inspiration from childhood memories spent among apple orchards\, forests and wetlands. Those early experiences — exploring ravines\, climbing lichen-covered rocks and creating hidden sanctuaries in the woods with her six siblings — continue to shape her creative practice and visual language. \n“To me the forest was like an enormous haven full of endless secrets and mysteries\,” Dennison said. “It was a place where imagination thrived and where I always felt safe\, surrounded by nature’s warmth.” \nDennison now lives and works in Westminster\, Massachusetts\, where she spends many hours gardening\, landscaping and hiking in nearby woods. These daily interactions with the natural environment inform work that translates beautifully into interior spaces\, offering designers original artwork that evokes calm\, connection and quiet sophistication. \nFor Dennison\, the act of seeing is rooted in intuition. Through layered textures and nuanced color\, her creative process allows for surprise and discovery\, encouraging viewers to engage with both the visible and the imagined — qualities that make her work especially compelling for interior design projects seeking meaning as well as visual impact. \nExhibition Details \nSeen and Imagined\nSolo exhibition by Clara Dennison\nOn view in 2026\, Friday\, April 10 – Friday\, June 5\n873 Café\, presented by Gallery Sitka\n873 Main St.\, Ashby\, MA \nArtist Reception \nSunday\, April 12\n2–4 p.m.\n873 Café\, presented by Gallery Sitka\n873 Main St.\, Ashby\, MA \nMore information about the exhibition and available artwork can be found at:\nhttps://www.artsy.net/show/gallery-sitka-seen-and-imagined-clara-dennison-873-cafe \nFree.\nOpen to the Public. \nThe Work will be up until June.

SUMMARY:Eli Portman & Gallery Sitka Artists — Art & Wine | Summer Show
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an art show featuring the work of watercolor painter\, Eli Portman. \nEli Portman: Artist’s Statement\nI am fascinated with the concept of perception. Many experiences in my life have made me feel quite alone. In those moments\, I feel unique in the way that I perceive things. And yet at the same time\, I strongly believe that we as human beings share many experiences\, many thoughts\, feelings\, and reactions.\nWith my work\, I approach the dissonance between perceived unique individual solitude in a crowded environment\, and the commonness and sameness of such feelings.\nUsing detailed line work and heavy colors\, I illustrate moments of ‘unique’ isolation that we all share. The feeling of walking alone while viewing social excitement through nighttime windows\, or working while others play to their contentment.\nWith controlled ink lines\, I capture shadows and lights. Familiar angles\, familiar feelings brought on by time of day or night\, placement and presence in one’s environment. I manipulate the openness and tightness of visual spaces and interiors to reflect the claustrophobia of society’s open space and the endless emptiness of being crowded and crushed.\nWith strong colors\, I attract the viewer’s eyes to specific spaces within the composition\, reminding them of their own perceptions of environment\, and that I\, like them\, find myself in there too. By capturing these scenes\, I present the commonality between them and me. Though they do not know me\, we are united by the sameness of the humanity we all share.\nThe art exhibitions that affect me most strongly are the ones that remind me of myself. Of what I love\, of what I find beautiful\, and of what I fear. We are always looking for a certain degree of reflections of ourselves. In images\, in friends\, in pets\, in communities\, in romantic partners. With my artwork\, I attempt to bridge the gaps of solitude by harnessing that innate search for our reflections. With familiar scenes\, bright colors\, and fine details of everyday objects and structures\, I create scenes that are familiar in their individuality.
