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: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
