Howard Cowdrick shows basic geometric forms embellished with his unique use of light, atmosphere and vivid color. Ruth Dwyer’s abstract oil landscapes present a counterpoint to pastel artist Ruth Höök-Colby’s realistic look at nature. Norine Zapata explores nature through her 3D flower fields on Plexiglas, while her husband, David Zapata, reveals his magical point of view through his signature botanical photography. Visual poetry is seen in photographer Diana Lucas Leavengood’s multiple exposed images. Artist/owner Katharine Butler’s etchings and paintings refer to the sea, encouraging the viewer’s personal interpretation. Other gallery favorites include fabric artist L. Susan Stark, mixed media artist Joan Lyon, sculptor Ronn Mattia, and potter Charlie Barmonde. In addition, the gallery carries elegant glass art, ceramics and unique, hand-made jewelry by acclaimed bead artist Sharyn Wolf. The gallery continues to offer its art rental and interior designer programs, as well as gift certificates.
