SUMMARY:Summer's Launch – Kellie Weeks & Jeanne Borofsky
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Sitka announces the exhibition “Summer’s Launch” by artists Jeanne Borofsky and Kellie Weeks. The public is invited to the free opening reception on Friday\, June 7 from 5:30-7:30pm; there will be refreshments and live music. Featured artists\, Borofsky and Weeks\, will be in attendance. The show will be displayed through July 9. \n  \n“Blue Horizon” by Jeanne Borofsky\nJeanne Borofsky whose studio is in Groton\, MA\, holds a BFA and MFA and is internationally recognized\, with paintings\, prints\, and drawings in numerous museums and private collections. \nA practicing artist for over 50 years\, Borofsky makes art with watercolors\, oils\, encaustics\, collages\, and prints – traditional\, photographic\, encaustic and digital. Borofsky is a member of The Boston Printmakers\, the Depot Square Artists\, the Monotype Guild of New England\, and New England Wax. \nMs. Borofsky states\, “Most of my current work is encaustic collage. Encaustic – painting with hot colored beeswax and damar resin – is a medium that was used by the ancient Greeks. I love the way beeswax creates both physical and visual depth and translucency to the work – adding to the mystery and magic I’m trying to convey. Whatever I put into my art\, it always includes the joy of creation\, the love of art\, and the happiness in my ability to create it.” \n  \n“The Fall” by Kellie Weeks\nKellie Weeks\, whose studio is in Fitchburg\, received a BFA from Bradford College in 2001. After years of exploring many media\, she is now focused on painting with pigment sticks and encaustic. While using encaustics for their insurmountable quality\, depth\, and brilliancy\, Weeks also incorporates dry pigments\, metal leaf\, shellac\, and other mixed media as vehicles to develop a wide lexicon of imagery. Kellie often abstracts elements of nature and her immediate surroundings combining both elements of bold and muted colors. These dynamic compositions lend themselves to stories of relationships and transformations. Kellie’s work has been exhibited nationally in many juried and group shows and is included in both private and public collections. \nWeeks offers\, “Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote\, “The Earth laughs in flowers.” Using encaustic and mixed media as vehicles to communicate abstracted floral compositions\, my paintings are intuitively created using color\, line\, and form as constructs for spiritual illumination. At times the imagery is more subtle than others yet all of the elements speak of journeys\, relationships\, and transformations.” \nTamar Russell Brown\, Gallery Sitka owner stated\, “Gallery Sitka is pleased to host what has become an annual show for Jeanne Borofsky and Kellie Weeks. They were introduced to us in year one of our gallery’s life. They have both now been with us for close to 10 years. Since Gallery Sitka is celebrating 10 years this summer\, we are thrilled to show these accomplished women to kick off the season!” \nAdditional information can be found at Gallery Sitka. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:James Proctor
DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Statement \n\nMy brush strokes are fast and non-deliberate. I have no predetermined result. I paint how I feel at that moment. My paintings can be enjoyed up close. Most important is to take your time and let the painting emerge for you. \nView the show on Artsy \n\n\nPlease visit the Bull Run’s website for their hours of operation. This show is in the artist’s walkway at the Bull Run through November 2024.

SUMMARY:Portrait of Nature – Melanie Zibit & Zen Saito
DESCRIPTION:  \n“Sunlight” by Melanie Zibit\nGallery Sitka announces the exhibition “Portrait of Nature” by sculptor Melanie Zibit and artist/photographer Zen Saito. The public is invited to the free opening reception on Sunday\, May 5 from 2:30-4:30pm; Saito and Zibit will be in attendance. The show will be displayed through June 5. \nSculptor and Shirley Massachusetts resident\, Melanie Zibit learned to carve in the marble workshops of Carrara\, Italy. Her passion for creating sculpture started as an undergraduate and then grew in her 20s to working with artists in rural Maine and in New York City. Zibit carves at the Vermont Carving Studio and Sculpture Center. She gives presentations at museums\, schools\, universities\, galleries\, and arts festivals and has received commissions and exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the US. Zibit is the recipient of the 2014 and 2015 NYC Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club award and the 2015 Best Abstract in Show award from the Cape Cod Art Association. \nZibit states\, “I am inspired by ancient and modern sculptors. I use marble and bronze\, classical materials\, and components of forms found in nature to create a modern statement. Leaving elements natural or forms unfinished invites the viewer to complete the form in their mind’s eye.” \n“Sunflower” by Zen Saito\nArtist\, Japanese native\, and Fitchburg resident Zen Saito (a.k.a. Yoshiyuki Saito) grew up in a small town in Japan with a family that supported his creativity. By age 18\, Zen had moved to Tokyo to study design. At age 24 he moved to New York where he studied at The Art Students League of New York\, worked at a sculptor studio\, and exhibited his work in group and solo shows in Brooklyn and Manhattan. In 2007 Zen moved to Massachusetts and has expanded his artistic endeavors to include carpentry. \nZen shares\, “My artwork is often influenced by nature\, and often reflects the period of my life. I once wanted my artwork to carry messages to the world — but recently I have just been enjoying working with different media\, exploring and developing new skills\, opening up my freedom to challenge my creativity.” \nAdditional information can be found at Gallery Sitka. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:Veronique Sapin — Symptoms
DESCRIPTION:“Symptoms 2” by Veronique Sapin\nGallery Sitka announces the exhibition “Symptoms” by French visual artist Veronique Sapin\, with an opening reception on Friday\, April 26 from 4:30-6:30pm. Sapin\, whose studio is in Cugnaux\, France\, will be in attendance at the Shirley gallery. The show will be displayed through May 3. Also planned is an Artist Talk\, “Sisterhood in Art\, as a Consequence\, as a Strategy” at the Fitchburg Art Museum Thursday\, May 2\, from 12:30-1:30pm. Both the artist reception and the artist talk are free and open to the public. \nThe full scope of Véronique Sapin’s artwork is of the visual arts nature\, including videos\, installations\, photos\, ink\, and art books. Her artwork has been a part of more than 240 showings in forty countries. She is also curator\, co-founder and coordinator of the international women artists collective FemLink-Art which involves 140+ artists from 60+ countries. She has initiated important partnerships with institutions such as Unesco for the video training of African women artists. \nFor this exhibition at Gallery Sitka\, Sapin focuses on an ink painting art method she gleaned while living in Singapore where she took classes from artist Lim Choon Jin. \nMs. Sapin offers\, “Working with ink means anticipating what the ink will want to do\, expecting it not to do so\, and measuring our degree of intervention on its freedom. This implies a constant game of partnership and adversity between the artist and the medium.” \nGallery Sitka owner\, Tamar Russell Brown states\, “We have been expanding the gallery’s breadth of artists and offerings to include more international art. Veronique is our first French female artist to have as part of our Gallery Sitka family; we invite the community to join us in welcoming her!” \nAdditional information can be found at Gallery Sitka – Sapin. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:One Moment in Time
DESCRIPTION:“Green Mansions” by Barbara Groh Wahlstrom\nBarbara Groh Wahlstrom 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. \nMs. 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.” \nMs. 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.” \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR\n

SUMMARY:The Fragile Beautiful Earth – Earth Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:“Bound Remnants in Brick” by Barbara Groh Wahlstrom\nNewport\, R.I.\, April 7\, 2023 – Gallery Sitka’s latest exhibition\, “The Fragile Beautiful Earth” opens with a reception on Earth Day\, Saturday\, April 22\, 2-4 pm.   \nMany of the 26 participating artists will be in attendance for the gallery reception. The juried exhibition will be shown through May 25 (with gallery hours Thurs.-Sun.). \nCurator\, Beth Barry\, offers\, “We have all been called upon to repurpose\, reduce\, reuse\, recycle\, restore\, and reinvent our planet we depend on. As artists\, we inherently do this – make and remake something uniquely our own. For this exhibit\, we asked artists to incorporate and channel their emotions about our fragile planet into creations of the earth’s beauty. Artists’ interpretations range from literal\, metaphorical\, to spiritual.” \nThe materials\, as well\, range from conventional to unconventional; from oil paint to detritus; from literal earth to discarded plastic bags and bottles. Used and deflated helium balloons make for a large jellyfish hanging from the wall. Abstract landscapes\, encaustics\, and photography round out the show’s works. \nGallery Sitka owner\, Tamar Russell Brown offers\, “We feel strongly about our responsibility for the health of our planet. Our way of paying attention\, and drawing attention\, is through our actions – including artwork.” \n“With Beth being a NY-based artist\, and I\, a New England-based gallery owner\, we were able to draw upon a wide\, diverse and talented pool of artists for this show. We have selected 45 works by 27 artists and are excited to share these intriguing and thought-provoking results on Earth Day through the end of May.” \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR\n

Now\, in the challenging decade of the 2020s\, adventurous artists working in diverse media are coming together at this Gallery Sitka show to interpret\, question\, and honor old Mother Earth in all her fascinating complexity and beauty. \n“The artists were all asked to consider how they\, as human beings\, were connected to Nature\,” explains Beth Barry\, the show’s curator. “All the canvases must be no larger than 20 by 20\, and all artists were asked for a minimum of three paintings.” More than 50 artists answered the call. \n“I’ve been curating for about ten years\,” says Ms. Barry\, “and I’ve been working with Tamar for seven or eight years.” Gallery Sitka owner Tamar Russell Brown has produced Earth Day shows before\, and she enjoys the tremendous enthusiasm and insight that Ms. Barry brings to the work of curation. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:Kate Shaffer – October 2021
DESCRIPTION:“Air” by Kate Shaffer\n“Music and color inspire me. As I listen to music\, colors emerge and begin to dance in my mind. Each type of music requires different colors. Even within one genre\, the colors can be quite different depending on the mood of the music. This series deals with calming classical music. The colors reflect the peacefulness I want to evoke.\nAbstraction allows me to express the emotions that motivate my painting. Colors and movement give voice to those emotions. I develop a language as I progress through the paintings and hope you can feel the emotion and see the music as I do.\nI choose my materials for the great freedom of expression they allow. Acrylics dry quickly\, but can also be worked wet in wet for blended colors. Brushes\, palette knives\, even my hands – each tool offers a different mark and a different form of expression. As I work wet in wet\, the colors naturally begin to blend and layers of color are introduced. Marks reveal under-layers and lines. Color becomes my partner as I dance across the canvas with the music.\nThe marks I make emphasize the movement of the music. The colors combine to create the feeling. They mix and mingle as the notes do\, creating harmony. Let your eyes move to the rhythm of each piece.” \nView the show on Artsy\n
