“Wish You Were Here!”
Maude Anne May
with guest artist Leah Kohlenberg
Member Artist Maude Anne May and her guest, artist Leah Kohlenberg, are featured during October. In “Wish You Were Here!” May presents 60 small stitched-fabric collages, created between August and late September, 2021. Inspired by her POSTCARD-PALOOZA where she collaged, stitched and mailed over 300 paper postcards world-wide during Covid’s early months, Maude continues to create small fiber stories utilizing photos, fabrics, paper, ephemera and more.
Guest Leah Kohlenberg responded to Covid’s isolation by painting large-scale, detailed “drip’ paintings of garden and forest foliage. “Into The Garden” invites viewers to lose themselves in nature’s greenery.
The show runs October 7 - 30, 2021.
First Thursday Opening, October 7th, 6:30 - 8:30pm
Gallery hours: Friday - Sunday, 12 - 5 pm. Masks are required
As we all deal with Covid’s continued presence, both May and Kohlenberg say that creating and sharing their art kept, and continues to keep, them sane.

INTO THE GARDEN
New Large-scale Paintings
For years, my paintings have started with loose, drippy under-paintings that become “tightened up” as I layer on paint. LateIy, I have found myself wondering, what would happen if some of the drips were left in place? These large, contemporary florals lend themselves to this technique, and since the onset of COVID, I’ve been spending A LOT more time in my garden. Using acrylic paints enables me to work quickly and capture the layers of drips. Hence, Into The Garden was born.
This show is designed put you “up close and personal” with the plants – by either lying down and looking up or being immersed in the greenery’s details. We all have embraced our joys during these crazy times, and surrounding myself with foliage is one of the ways I do it.
