Outside City Limits
|
Last Thursday Artist Reception August 27 | 6-9pm August 27–September 21 | 11am-7pm Forget the commute. Turn the car around! Leave civilzation behind and delight in the fused-glass landscapes oif Linda Gerrard and wander through the threaded tree paintings of Michelle L. Purvis instead. Michelle's lifelong fascination with trees, mountains, and how they relate to humans strongly influences her art. In this series of framed acrylic paintings on paper, each work is a portrait of a specific tree, dressed in embroidered finery to fit its personality. She made their acquaintance and sketched them from life while she was camping or on vacation. |

Linda Gerrard

While they may have been created completely in her studio, Linda's fused-glass landscapes evoke a real sense of natural place. Starting with a base sheet of glass, she builds her images by arranging and kiln-firing layer after layer of colored glass, often leaving lovely textured details on the surface. Linda and Michelle, two longtime members of the gallery, invite you to take in the vistas of meadow, marsh and mountainside, to reach out to stroke the colorful bark of the trees or a heron's plumage, and to discover what lies just Outside City Limits. |

Forged & Fired: Art by Flame
Last Thursday Artist Reception August 27 | 6-9pm
August 27–September 21 | 11am-7pm
Fire is one of humanity's oldest tools for transformation. From forged steel and kiln-fired clay to molten silver and sculpted wax, heat is the catalyst that turns raw elements into striking fine art.
Curated by Alberta Street Gallery member Leslie McMillan, this invitational exhibition features six artists–Larry Holt, Bobby Pedersen, Cindy Caufman, John Hyland, Diane Moskowitz, and Ann Coskey–who harness extreme temperatures to bend raw materials to their vision.
