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 URL:https://gallerysitka.com/event/summers-launch-kellie-weeks-jeanne-borofsky/ LOCATION:Gallery Sitka East\, 2 Shaker Road\, Suite D101\, Shirley\, MA\, 01464 CATEGORIES:Shirley,Show ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gallerysitka.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/GallerySitka_KellieWeeksJeanneBorofsky_web2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240726 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240810 DTSTAMP:20241120T203524Z CREATED:20241120T203524Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241120T203524Z UID:43092-1721952000-1723247999@gallerysitka.com 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 URL:https://gallerysitka.com/event/harmonies-in-motion-marli-thibodeau/ LOCATION:Gallery Sitka East\, 2 Shaker Road\, Suite D101\, Shirley\, MA\, 01464 CATEGORIES:Shirley,Show ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gallerysitka.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/MarliThibodeau_Luminous_AcrylicOnCanvas_52x34_3800.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240726T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240726T183000 DTSTAMP:20241120T203458Z CREATED:20240422T195837Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241120T203458Z UID:37860-1722011400-1722018600@gallerysitka.com 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.
