| | STEVE LIKER
Steve Liker was Director of Sales & Marketing at Trident-ITW in Brookfield. He has been creating acrylic and oil paintings since the age of 13. His business travels have taken Steve to 37 countries around the world, where he has experienced multiple variations in art, design and form. Steve writes that he studies the impact of color, light, reflection and shadow as integral parts of the scene: "I use color and light to define the interplay of forms. My painting begins with a tinted canvas onto which I build light as well as dark. I draw with the paint. My primary concern is to balance the abstract elements of color and composition before I focus on the details which make the forms recognizable." Steve describes his painting work as "a loose kind of realism, with a touch of impressionism. I have always been intrigued by Manet’s use of dark and shadows to accentuate the light and the forms." Steve is an enthusiastic resident artist member of the new RPAC Art Center and Academy in Ridgefield, providing studio space, professional teaching and a gallery for artists. RPAC is celebrating its Grand Opening & Reception for guest artist Leslie Cober-Gentry, Thurs. Sept. 19, 6-9pm. Steve will be showing three of his latest paintings from his series of rainy evening city scenes at the opening reception. Steve has also shown his work in galleries in New York (both Soho and Brooklyn), Connecticut and Canterbury, England. See Steve's website and Facebook page. |

| AMY KAHN RUSSELL
Amy Kahn Russell is one of the leaders in a new naturalistic trend in jewelry. A fine arts graduate of Tulane University, Amy's personal studies and extensive experience traveling the world have strongly influenced her designs, which often incorporate unusual artifacts and stones collected worldwide into this dramatic jewelry. She says that from an early age she had a strong response to sculpture - the more exotic the better: "I particularly loved Asian motifs, things like dragons. I also loved minerals, fossils, and anything to do with the water. I was always doing my art, mostly drawing, painting and making sculptures." Amy has managed a pearl outlet in Hong Kong and started a business in Los Angeles. Her extensive network encompasses the globe with key people in England, the Sahara, Russia, and throughout the U.S., who seek out rare and distinctive materials for her. Her pieces often begin with a fascinating, unique stone or combination of stones that sit on a tray until an image of a finished piece forms in Amy’s mind. "The stones just lend themselves to certain thoughts and ideas; my inspiration comes in large part from the materials." As a consequence, her pieces come to each owner with a history, and a label describing the components. Amy's work has been worn by stars such as Madonna, Halle Berry, Kim Basinger and others. Major magazines such as Vogue have featured her work, and she has pieces exhibited in museums, such as New York's American Museum of Natural History. With thanks to Ann Jeffrey, A Conversation with the Artist. See her website, Facebook and Pinterest pages and Twitter feed. |

| | | | | Dawning 3(water-mixable oil, 20x16; detail at right, click for complete image); and Vanishing, (acrylic, 24x24). The juror was Fred Giampietro of New Haven's Fred Giampietro Gallery. Bevi commented that all three paintings were influenced by the ephemeral and complex forces of nature and my increasing concern with the fragility and impermanence of life. Bevi also won one of the three "Honoroable Mention" awards for her Dancing (2018, acrylic and rice paper collage on canvas, 24x24) accepted for the 42nd Annual Members Show at Carriage Barn Arts Center, running through Oct. 11.

| | Miggs Burroughs had his lenticular piece, Signscape juried into the Ridgefield Guild of Artists' 42nd Annual Juried Exhibition. Miggs explains that Signscape is a grid of 16 little signs measuring 6x6. "Using the black and yellow motif of street signs, each one displays two words that change from one to another in some whimsical or ironic way, giving the common street sign something different to shout about." |
| | | | Eric Chiang retouched a 2013 painting of his to create a new painting Transcending? (oil on linen, 36x30, detail at right) to make more explicit the aspects of transcendence for including it in the 42nd Annual Members Show at Carriage Barn Arts Center, opening Sun. Sept. 8, 3-5pm. This piece is a reference to the series of paintings he was doing 2012-2013 such as "Are We Born Connected?" He writes that when he saw how his painting had been evolving into a new stage, he asked: "Am I really transcending?" Then he remembered his painting "Transcending" from 2013 and he went back and re-touched the painting, bringing it back to be more in line with his recent developments. He sees the cello (himself) pulled away from its link (to the past) in order to "transcend" over various planets with its wounded body. Of course, the wound came from breaking loose from its comfort zone. |
| | Heidi Lewis Coleman has 19 pieces in A River Runs Through It, the Greenwich Arts Council's tribute to the colors and vitality of the Amazon River, that opens with a reception Sun. Sept. 15, 3-5pm. At right, a four-piece set, Ethereal 1-4 (2019, mixed media on birch panels, 6x6 each; at right, click for larger image).

Presented by Stamford Art Association's Art at the Ferguson, the show runs through Jan. 16, 2020 with an opening reception on Sept. 19, 6-8pm. Eugenie says the piece was inspired by her fascination with the calligraphy of Eastern languages. "I don't know what any of the word images mean, hence the title Babel." Three other paintings: Shaman, Green Day and Sand & Fog were voted into Stamford Innovation Week's Open Pop 2019 showcasing innovation through art, on view Sat. Sept. 21, 5-9pm at 18 Harbor Point Road, Stamford, CT. |

Susan has several pieces in the show, including Westport Dock (oil on canvas, 24x24; at right click for larger image). Susan says, about the show: “I have been fascinated with the relationship of objects – boats, buildings, rocks—with the water. I love the reflections they create, how they hold their ground against the power of the sea and the constant movement of the water.” |
| | Scott Glaser is showing his SUITS #3 (men’s suit fabric and mannequin hands on canvas, 27.5x25; at right) with the Contemporary Art Network in Booth A11 on the second floor of the Fall Affordable Art Fair (Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street) in New York, Sept. 25-29, 2019.

| | Congratulations to Claudia Renfro for winning the 39th Annual Faber Birren National Color Award with her piece Red Background (mixed media on paper, 9x9; click image at right for larger version). The judge was the Metropolitan Museum's Dr. Meredith A. Brown. Claudia comments that the piece essentially depicts a character that appeared out of thin air. She says her "characters" are often oddities, whom don’t fit onto conventual society . These weird little outcasts are awkward and uncomfortable in their own skin and at the same time strut’n their stuff and proud of it. |

| | | GALLERY 263 TEXTURE OCTOBER 6
Gallery 263, Cambridge, MA, has a call for artists to submit work that emphasizes sensation, feeling: "Texture." The human mind can feel the sensation of fingertips brushing across the surface of an object by observing it—or even thinking about it. Natural and artificial textures can stir feelings of comfort and send shivers through the body. These associations provide familiarity with our environment as we navigate through life. Art reveals these feelings through both depicted and actual textures. This regional juried exhibition invites artists based in New England to submit artwork that explores the theme of texture for an exhibition Nov. 7 – Dec. 7, 2019. The juror is Vivian Poey a photographer and faculty member in the College of Art and Design at Lesley University (and winner of the 2017 Massachusetts Higher Education Art Educator of the Year award. This regional call is open to residents of New England or those who have lived in New England in the last 5 years. Submitted work must have been created within the last five years, complete and presentation ready. Online submissions only. Artists may submit up to 6 works. Work in all media is encouraged. Fee $25 for 1-3 submissions, $40 for 4-6. Apply online here. |
|
| RIDGEFIELD GUILD OF ARTISTS 2-1-2 OCTOBER 23
The Ridgefield Guild of Artists is offering again a special opportunity for a small group show, 2-1-2. Five artists, as selected by our juror, will share the entire downstairs gallery. Two artists will go in the front gallery, one in the middle and two in the third, thus the 2-1-2 title of the exhibition. The juror of submissions is painter and arts writer, Sharon Butler, founder of Two Coats of Paint. For this show there are no restrictions on the type of media: all materials are welcome. It is hoped that this opportunity will inspire the entrants to reach beyond their ordinary submissions and help to create a truly incredible show. Your work must fit in the space allotted to you and your art and it must be properly framed and presented. Selections are made based on the examples of work submitted by an artist.

| | | LIGHTHOUSE WORKS FELLOWSHIPS OCTOBER 15
The Lighthouse Works is a 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization devoted to encouraging the development of artists through a fellowship program and to the enrichment of the year-round cultural and economic vitality of Fishers Island, New York. Its primary purpose is to provide artists with space and time, free from material concerns, to do their best creative work. Artists and writers are brought on fellowship to Fishers Island, where they are provided with room, board and studio space, giving them ample opportunity for quiet productivity in a serene, supportive environment. The program accepts artists working in a wide range of disciplines, but is best able to accommodate visual artists and writers. Fellowships are six weeks in length, occur year round and provide fellows with housing, food, studio space, a $250 travel allowance and a $1,500 stipend. Artistic excellence is the primary criteria for acceptance as a Light-house Works fellow. While in residence, fellows’ primary obligation is to the solitary pursuit of their work but fellows are asked to participate in an artist talk on the first week-end of the fellowship and to open their studio for an afternoon at the session’s conclusion. Each fellow has a private bedroom and shares bathrooms, the kitchen and living space at our residence. The house is always stocked with food, and most nights the directors cook for, and eat dinner with, the fellows. Studios are located adjacent to Silver Eel Cove where the ferry arrives and departs the island. Studios are private, flooded with light and face the ocean. Lighthouse Works maintains a wood and metal shop, a Paragon kiln, a black and white darkroom and a letterpress print shop. For more details and to apply, click here. |
