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.” \nGallery 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.

SUMMARY:Kim White
DESCRIPTION:‘Parade of One’ by Kim White\nArtist’s Statement \nI am interested in how “story” works in our experience of ourselves. We are inherent story makers in the sense that our experiences become stories when they move to memory. Once an experience has passed it becomes an echo of itself; either fading away if we don’t note it\, or becoming a permanent part of the fabric of the perception of ourselves as we repeat the story\, consciously or unconsciously. In my work I want to capture\, not the specific details of a story\, but rather what it feels like as all the pieces and complexities of a story are in motion within us. In these works on paper\, I use water-based mixed media to explore a few different ways that we create story in our human experience. \nMuch as flower notes are brought to life in a perfume blend by “fecal” undertones (think Jasmine)\, I like to contrast bright color and joyful movement in my works with imagery that feels a little off or maybe uncomfortable. As we move through life trying to create happiness and peace\, we struggle with anxieties\, frustrations\, traumas\, secret fears and shames. I include these discomforts of existence in my work to bring light to them\, not letting them fester in the dark. They are a part of life. As we open to these darker parts of our stories\, releasing them to the day\, we can better allow ourselves to enjoy our successes and pleasures. \nBLACK GROUP – Subconscious Stories\nExplores dreams\, fears\, unexamined stories\, stories that run in the background of our awareness\, shaping our experiences of ourselves and reality. \n\n In the Dark 1\n In the Dark 2\n In the Dark 3\n\nWHITE GROUP – Conscious Stories\nDepicts the act of telling\, expressing our story. Stories that we actively tell ourselves\, or that we tell another\, and that we constantly express and recycle as we move through our days. \n\n Emergence (Self-talk)\n Parade of One\n Listen to Me\n\nSILVER GROUP – Fairy Tales and War Games.\nCompares and contrasts the stories of children’s worlds and grown-ups’ worlds. \n\n Little Spirit\n Neptune Picnic\n Inner Conflicts\n Holy Wars\n\nTEAL GROUP – Stories for Fun and Entertainment\nSometimes stories are told for enjoyment\, comic relief\, or simply relaying random\, strange\, funny\, or happy events. \n\n Cornucopia\n Beach Worm\n\n  \n  \n\nView the show on Artsy\n\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 December 2024.

SUMMARY:Priscilla Levesque
DESCRIPTION:‘Red House on the Harbor’ by Priscilla Levesque\nArtist’s Statement \n\nI am intrigued by the relationship between buildings and their surroundings\, and how light changes the appearance of brick\, wood\, stone or glass. When I go walking near my home in N. Chelmsford\, I watch for landscapes or houses which I can turn into an interesting composition. Rather than paint on location\, I take photos and then paint in my studio.I like this procedure because I can consider the  whole composition\, rather than dwelling on small details which may change quickly. \nFor the past several years I have used the pointillist technique\, which was developed by the French painter Georges Seurat in the 1880’s. He built up colors by juxtaposing tiny dots of various hues\, which merge together when seen from a distance.  In this technique of “optical mixing”\, the color mixture occurs in the eyes rather than on the palette. \nThe painting medium I use is casein\, which is an opaque water-base paint. The advantages are that casein dries fast\, needs no special solvents and\, since it is opaque\, colors can be overlaid very easily. For many years I used transparent watercolor which is tricky\, because once an area of paint is too dark\, it’s very difficult to fix. In my painting process I often change my mind\, and I find that color changes are quite easy with casein. \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:Ocean Land Lines – Lora Whelan
DESCRIPTION:“Storm Surge Upland Tidal Zone” by Lora Whelan\nGallery Sitka announces the exhibition “Ocean Land Lines” by contemporary artist Lora Whelan. The public is invited to the free opening reception on Saturday\, August 10\, from 1:30-3:30 pm; Whelan will be in attendance. The show will be on display through August 31. \nLora Whelan\, who lives year-round and maintains her studio in Eastport\, Maine\, explains the impetus behind her current exhibition\, “Downeast Maine saw a series of winter storms during 2023/24 which created a collision of wind\, water\, and land. It seemed that the wind never stopped\, that it would blow from one way then come around in what seemed a lull\, and then blow from the other way. The ocean storm surges were overwhelming at times and magnificent in their power.”  \nLand was clawed by waves; trees\, shrubs\, and grasses that had buried their roots into the soil and held back the shore for years disappeared in a matter of hours. Boathouses\, sheds\, wharves\, and some houses were swept off their footings and lost their balance\, sliding off into the storm waters and pounded into pieces.  \nIn response to the ferocity of nature\, Whelan took to her studio where she created a series of works with titles such as “Tidal Mist\,” “Storm Surge” and “Tidal Moonlight.” She explains\, “I started with a large piece of unstretched canvas on the floor\, poured water on it and then started moving paint around with the palette knife. It was a particularly powerful way to start this series as paint can be unruly as it meets water. I felt like I was in the midst of one of those storms\, trying to hold on to order while the water took control.”  \nBorn in New York City\, Whelan graduated from Bennington College in Vermont with a BA\, and from Mercy College in New York with a MS. She is self-taught and revels in exploring and experimentation. She has done a number of one and two person shows in New England\, as well as artist talks.  \nAdditional information can be found at Gallery Sitka. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

It seemed that the wind never stopped\, that it would blow from one way then come around in what seemed a lull\, and then blow from the other way. The ocean storm surges were overwhelming at times and magnificent in their power.”  \nLand was clawed by waves; trees\, shrubs\, and grasses that had buried their roots into the soil and held back the shore for years disappeared in a matter of hours. Boathouses\, sheds\, wharves\, and some houses were swept off their footings and lost their balance\, sliding off into the storm waters and pounded into pieces.  \nIn response to the ferocity of nature\, Whelan took to her studio where she created a series of works with titles such as “Tidal Mist\,” “Storm Surge” and “Tidal Moonlight.” She explains\, “I started with a large piece of unstretched canvas on the floor\, poured water on it and then started moving paint around with the palette knife. It was a particularly powerful way to start this series as paint can be unruly as it meets water. I felt like I was in the midst of one of those storms\, trying to hold on to order while the water took control.”  \nBorn in New York City\, Whelan graduated from Bennington College in Vermont with a BA\, and from Mercy College in New York with a MS. She is self-taught and revels in exploring and experimentation. She has done a number of one and two person shows in New England\, as well as artist talks.  \nAdditional information can be found at Gallery Sitka. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:Harmonies in Motion – Marli Thibodeau
DESCRIPTION:“Luminous” by Marli Thibodeau\nGallery Sitka announces the exhibition “Harmonies in Motion” by contemporary artist Marli Thibodeau.  The public is invited to the free opening reception on Friday\, July 26 from 4:30-6:30pm; Thibodeau will be in attendance. The show will be on display through August 9. \nArtist Marli Thibodeau immerses herself in the study of the landscape around her as well as the inner landscape of self-discovery. Her paintings do not reference recognizable form\, and the purposeful omission of exact references are key elements in her work. Thibodeau’s techniques include opaque and transparent layers which represent the ongoing dialog between painter and painting. By questioning what is here now\, present within\, she creates intense personal moments on the canvas. \nThibodeau explains\, “I perceive my painting practice as a visual dance\, with my mark-making as gestures and my color choices as emotions. This approach requires me to remain open to possibility rather than having a set outcome in mind.” \nThibodeau\, a teacher of Azul Conscious Movement (a path of personal transformation)\, finds that movement reveals our inner state\, a reflection of our interior world. Thibodeau says\, “I believe that everyone has a unique way of expressing the experience of who they are\, and I’ve discovered that mine is through un-choreographed visual and movement art. As I paint\, I am continuously responding to what is here in the moment – to the instinctual connection of what is rising on the inside and how it is expressed in relation to what is on the canvas.” \nThibodeau maintains a year-round studio in Rockland\, Maine and in 2015 she\, with Karen Divine\, conceived the Being Set Free project\, a global collaboration of artists. \nAdditional information can be found at Gallery Sitka. \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:Nature’s Patterns – Rebekah Robinson & Ylenia Mino
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Sitka announces “Nature’s Patterns” exhibit featuring two artists\, Ylenia Mino\, an Italian artist who resides in Long Beach\, California and Wailuku\, Hawaii\, and Rebekah Robinson who lives in Colorado. The exhibit reception is open and free to the public Thursday\, July 18\, 5:30-7:30pm; both artists will be in attendance. Gallery Sitka/Newport is located on the corner of Spring and Franklin Streets; the show will be displayed through August 2. \n“Blooming Elegance: A Symphony of Colors” by Ylenia Mino\nBorn and raised in the small town of Ivrea\, nestled at the foot of the Italian Alps\, Ylenia Mino studied with an extraordinary Egyptian painter who had trained under a French master. Ylenia pursued classical studies\, including ancient Greek\, Latin\, philosophy\, and art history\, as well as performance arts. \nIn March 2011\, Ylenia debuted as a solo artist at the International Artexpo in New York and later exhibited her work in San Francisco\, London\, Innsbruck (Austria)\, and across Italy. Living in California and Hawaii\, she founded Paint for a Purpose\, empowering individuals and teams through custom creative events\, as well as Furry Friend Portraits. \nMino shares\, “Art is my way of capturing and sharing the profound moments that define our lives. I endeavor to convey the deep emotions and connections that make each moment unique. Growing up at the foot of the Italian Alps\, I was inspired by the natural beauty and cultural richness around me. This inspiration drives me to create art that resonates with personal and universal stories\, imbued with the sophistication of European Italian artistry.” \n“Pontassive Italy” by Rebekah Robinson\nColorado-based artist Rebekah Robinson has studied painting\, printmaking\, photography and graphic design. The landscape has been an overarching theme in her work\, and patterns offer a continued focus. Robinson offers\, “While the natural patterns of leaves floating on a still pond draw my attention\, I am equally fascinated by the human-made patterns of field plantings\, mowings and gardens. At times\, I have focused on the intimate details—the petals of a flower\, the detritus in a flowing stream\, the reflections of water.” \nRobinison’s paintings in this show are representative of a broader view of nature and the inherent larger scope of her natural surroundings living in Colorado and traveling in the American Southwest and Europe.” \nGallery Sitka owner\, Tamar Russell Brown states\, “Ylenia Mino is one of Gallery Sitka’s earliest artists; we are thrilled to host her in our Newport space. Rebekah Robinson is a gallery friend via some of our newest artists. Both artists will be with us on July 18th and we welcome them to Newport!” \nView the show on Artsy\nRead the PR

SUMMARY:Peter Stultz
DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Statement \n\nI believe that art is a 3-way communication between the artist\, his work and the viewer. A photographer uses his artistic vision to place a frame around a scene in order to say to the viewer “Look what I see here”. He will then use whatever technical tools and skills he has at his disposal to emphasize his vision of the scene. In my photography I prefer to not make any significant changes to the scene through the addition or removal of parts of the photo\, but rather through emphasizing or lessening contrast\, saturation and sharpness to better share my vision. Those changes may be somewhat dramatic or more subtle. In some cases the results can blur the boundary between pure photography and painting which is why I prefer the term “photo art” rather than photography. My hope is that these enhancements serve to better communicate my feelings of the scene and provide a new perspective to the viewer.  \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 December 2024.

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
