Carolyn Gray's paintings in the front gallery, May 5 to 29, inspired by 360 degree view of the sky in her new home. So much sky inspired her to fill the empty walls of the house with paintings of clouds. Observation of clouds at home naturally led me to observation of clouds from other promising viewpoints, […]

Cut paper works by Margaret Humbert-Droz:  The utility knife and its mini cousin, the X-Acto swivel knife, are the tools she slices into, slash or cut shapes out of a variety of papers she then assembles into images. Some are collaged into figurative landscapes; others play with geometry or dimension. The 'needle drawings' constitute a […]

I intend for each work to have its own reality, presence, to find that in nature, to develop it in the painting. As I work, the painting must come to direct my choices by its needs. I intend for the drawing to be graceful and complete. Lines moving magically through the space they simultaneously create. […]

Peter entered creative photography more than 50 years ago at a time when color imagery was generally seen as commercial and vulgar, while the “purity” of the black-to-white tonal spectrum was felt (somewhat paradoxically) better-suited to both: a) the artistic-aesthetic transmission of meaning -- and b) the pursuit of documentary objectivity. It was in the […]

Oil paintings based on observation, mainly from New England locations, Chu’s work anchors on the transformation and discovery in the direct-painting process, which involves translating the artist’s vision onto canvases. His preferred subjects are ordinary places and things in his environment, for he finds beauty and complexity in the act of seeing and painting.

All work $200.and below

Deborra Stewart-Pettengill is showing sculptures, paintings and prints created from 2020-2022. The work is inspired by natural forms and patterns, without a direct reference.

Conveying a sense of fluid motion, […]

The great shipwreck art theme draws the viewer dramatically into chaos.  And what chaos it is!  The gallery is full of tumult with crashing waves, whirlpools, small boats and people in peril.  The installation Diamond says, “It is an allegory for our times that at once mirrors my inward and our outward state.”     Harriet  has shown her works […]

Cyndy Sperry will be showing new paintings and drawings that derive inspiration from Edward Hicks (1780-1849), a 19th Century American Quaker who ministered, farmed, built coaches, and made over 60 paintings related to the theme of a "Peaceable Kingdom" in the last decade of his life.  Former Oxbow member Joanna Dunn will be sharing new […]

TRAVELING is a continuation of Doreen’s recent meditative, mark-making process. This time, without plan or forethought, she has taken a stream-of-consciousness approach to her work allowing each piece to reveal itself along the way. Delivering her from unexpected destination to unexpected destination, she invites you to take your own interpretive adventure. Doreen LaScala  will be […]

Oxbow Gallery in Easthampton, www.oxbowgallery.com. Forget the rock; to paper and scissors add glue-sticks, a utility knife, a swivel knife, acrylic paint as well as found bits and pieces, and you have the tools Margaret Humbert-Droz uses for her collages and cut paper pieces.  Her images riff on Euclid's Elements of Geometry as well as nature's Elements, […]

The show is a collection of paintings from photographs I have taken over the years with various cameras. A continuation of the same theme I started some 30 years ago, which has morphed into a sort of biological work of my life.  I have lived in the Connecticut River Valley for almost 35 out of […]

Mt. Pollux landscape drawings: I have drawn “Mt. Norwottuck” of the Holyoke Mountain Range for 38 years and yet still struggle, each drawing, to get the shape of the mountain right, which gives the drawing its life force. I have to scrape the oil crayon and reapply many times over; that, and: abstract expressionist-impressionist oil […]
