Rachel Kohn’s imagery comes from real and imagined landscapes inspired by cycles of growth and decay. She will exhibit a series of miniature three-dimensional paintings that are carved and built up from layers of plaster, foam, and aquaresin. A final layer of either encaustic wax or acrylic medium is added to create a deep and luminous surface. Kohn will also exhibit a series of drawings on handmade paper. In addition to making the paper herself, she uses a variety of drawing media, including charcoal, graphite, watercolor, paper mache, and acrylic. By deconstructing and reconstructing paper pulp, rough and torn areas create images that appear to be fragile and deteriorating landscapes. She says: “My work has a focus on nature, and is also inspired by human fragility. I am influenced by cycles of deterioration, devastation, and renewal. These perpetual cycles are a natural process, and in my work I attempt to find beauty in these sometimes harrowing experiences. I look for balance from the unbalanced, control from chaos, and light from darkness.”

Jenny Hutchinson’s work is informed by her love for drawing from life. Her recent work is inspired by time spent outside in the natural world, as well as the plants residing in her house, observing changes that come through the course of a day, as well as through the seasons. She says: “Each artwork draws inspiration from my passion for the beauty of the outdoors and plants. The selected color palette is informed by different times of the day and the lighting effect that impacts our apprehension of color. I avidly spend time outdoors watching the world slowly change around me. The plants drawn from my own household evolve too, throughout the year, and they have served as additional inspiration. The artworks mimic this interplay of encounters, observing something unfold and change… which is representative of the enthusiasm and curiosity I feel for these plants and places.”
Jenny Hutchinson earned her Master of Fine Arts degree from Clemson University and Bachelor of Fine Arts from Plattsburgh State University. Her work has been shown at many venues, including The Shirt Factory Gallery and LARAC, both in Glens Falls, NY; Albany Center Gallery, Albany, NY; Arts Center of the Capital Region, Troy, NY; Laffer Gallery, Schuylerville, NY. She currently works as the Head of Museum Education at The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY.

2017-07-07 - 2017-08-11 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Featuring the work of Bruce Hiscock, Marika McCoola, and Jennifer Sattler

Opening July 7 and running through August 11, 2017, the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery will present “Story Time: Children and Young Adult Authors and Illustrators”, a 3 person exhibition featuring the work of Bruce Hiscock, Marika McCoola, and Jennifer Sattler. The opening reception takes place on Friday, July 7, from 6 – 8 PM. We will also present a panel discussion with the artists on Tuesday, August 1st at 6 pm at Northshire Bookstore, 424 Broadway in Saratoga Springs, NY. Our exhibiting artists will discuss their creative process and relationship between visual illustration and storytelling. All events are free and open to the public.
Bruce Hiscock is the author/illustrator of many natural history books for children. His stories, like “The Big Rock” and “The Big Tree,” are based on actual objects, near his home, and contain enough information to enlighten grade school kids as well as most adults. These books, among others, have been designated as Outstanding Science Trade Books by the Children’s Book Council. “The Big Rock” and “The Big Storm” were honored on the John Burrough’s Riveby Award List of Books for Young Readers. Well versed in many aspects of science, Bruce studied chemistry in college and graduated from the University of Michigan, B.S. 1962 and Cornell University, Ph.D., 1966. At age 40 he decided to combine his artistic talents with science and begin a career in children’s books. His journeys across the North American Arctic from Alaska to Labrador form the basis of several works, including “Tundra,” “The Big Caribou Herd,” and most recently, “Ookpik- the Travels of a Snowy Owl,” a finalist for the Charlotte Award of New York State. Bruce lives in Porter Corners, NY, in a house he built by hand using the native rocks and trees. He often gives programs in schools and libraries, teaching kids to draw and encouraging them to read and write stories for themselves. You can learn more about his work at brucehiscock.com.
Marika McCoola is an illustrator, educator, and the New York Times bestselling author of “Baba Yaga’s Assistant.” She studied illustration, art history, creative writing, and ceramics at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland and received her BFA in Illustration in 2009. Marika then went on to study creative writing and children’s literature at Simmons College, receiving an MFA in Writing for Children in 2012. In addition to writing and illustrating, Marika teaches Studio Art, Illustration, and Children’s Literature online for the State University of New York, Empire State College, works as an indie bookseller, and teaches classes through the Emerson Umbrella Arts Center in Concord, MA. She’s also taught Children’s Literature for the K-6 Classroom for Skidmore College’s Education department. Her awards include a 2016 Ivan Gold Fiction Fellowship from Writers’ Room of Boston; 2015 Finalist for JP Reads Flash Fiction Contest; Rusty Drugan Scholarship from New England Independent Booksellers’ Association, 2012, and CHIRP Scholarship for Winter Institute 7 from Candlewick Press, 2012. Marika grew up in Glens Falls, and currently resides in Somerville, MA. You can learn more about her and her work at marikamccoola.com.
Jennifer Sattler is the award winning author and illustrator of several children’s books, including “Sylvie,” which won the Mockingbird Award and the Georgia Children’s Book Award, “Uh O DoDo,” and her newest book “Frankie The Blankie.” She is also the author of the popular “Chick-N-Pug” and “Pig Kahuna” series. Jennifer earned her BFA in painting from the University of New Hampshire and MFA from Indiana University, Bloomington. In 1996, she won a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Although she has worked as a landscape painter and professor of painting and drawing, her real passion is creating books for children. After her first daughter Mayzie was born, she found it harder and harder to get out to the painting studio. “I couldn’t wait to read to Mayzie. She slept most of the time, but I kept reading, silly voices and all! The magic of picture books excited me so much more than making pictures to hang on the wall.” Jennifer began drawing elephants, Mayzie’s favorite animals at the time. A year later her first book was published, “Bella’s Saratoga Summer,” starring Bella the Elephant (named after their 100 lb. dog). The following year her second book was published. “All Aboard Owney! The Adirondack Mail Dog” was based on the true story of a scruffy dog that rode the rails in the early 1900’s. She says: “I’ve been asked why I only use animals as my characters in my books. It’s simple, really. I want children to identify with the personalities of my characters, their situations, worries and joys… When the characters are animals, it’s much more universally relatable.” Jennifer lives and works in Saratoga Springs.

Dee Breger
Eleanor Sweeney
Suran Song
Dee Breger’s images stand at the intersection of art, science, education and technology. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) she worked with could magnify a specimen over 300,000 times. The structures seen in her images are preserved, while their aesthetic presentation is manipulated through an array of graphics techniques. She says: “In using a research laboratory’s high-tech visualizing instrument to produce revelatory – and relevant – art, my goal is to offer arresting pictures of the microworld that inspire a sense of wonder at its elegance, astonishment at its diversity, and delight in the stories it has to tell. As a scientist grounded in the disciplines of research, I seek to maintain the integrity – the truth – of the specimens. As an artist, I want my images to speak to the viewer’s heart.”
Dee Breger received a degree in Art from the University of Wisconsin and began her career as a scientific illustrator at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, switching to electron microscopy soon after. She founded Lamont/Columbia’s first professional SEM and X-ray microanalysis facility, which she directed for 22 years. Her work has been exhibited around the world and was featured in the BBC documentary “Hidden Visions.” Her book “Journeys into Microspace: The Art of the Scanning Electron Microscope” was featured in the New York Times magazine. Besides specializing in the technology, scientific application, and artistry of the SEM, Breger also led or participated in several Earth science programs on over 30 field expeditions, with a specialization in Antarctic oceanography. From 2004 to 2009 she served as Director of Microscopy at Drexel University. She retired from academia in 2009 to return to her first love: art. She launched Micrographic Arts that year in Saratoga Springs, NY, where she lived until her death, working as a consultant and artist. Dee Breger passed away in September of 2016 after a battle with leukemia. More information about Dee Breger can be found at www.micrographicarts.com,and her TED Ed talk, “Visualizing Hidden Worlds Inside Your Body,” can be seen at https://ed.ted.com/lessons/visualizing-hidden-worlds-inside-your-body-dee-breger.
Sanskrit and the civics of politics, as well as a routine practice of Yoga, are both strong influences for Suran Song. Her work encompasses printmaking, painting, installation, sculpture, photography, video and performance art. A recent project “There’s More to Life Than Increasing Its Speed! We need each other here!” contains a series of limited edition c-prints depicting flower mandalas projected on to the hands of participants held in various mudras (symbolic hand gestures), while practicing yogic breathing. The work is inspired by her routine practice of Yoga and the Sanskrit Pushpam Veda mantra, a Vedic hymn that expresses water as the basis of the universe and is used at the time of offering flowers to the deities at the very end of the Pujas (a prayer ritual performed to honor one or more deities). Song conceived of the project as a means for participants to practice fasting from cell phones and other screens by returning to their breath and presence, and to experience colors often used in yogic therapy to transmit uplifting and healing vibrations. She says: “I am interested in engaging with the public by making experiential art that transcends the viewer. Working in a multitude of disciplines further allows me to continually test the boundaries of the senses, the embrace of Sanskrit and the breath, all core elements that inform my artistic path.”
Suran Song earned her BFA from University of The Arts in Philadelphia, PA and her MFA from Parsons School of Design, New York, NY. She has received awards and residencies from the Queens Council for the Arts and the New York Artist and Community Council: The Laundromat Project. Her work has been exhibited at numerous venues, including The Villa Terrace Museum of Decorative Arts, Milwaukee, WI; Chashama Windows Project, Harlem, NY; Art in Odd Places, New York, NY; The Walk Exchange, London, England & New York, NY; Southview Co-operative, Queens, NY; Shirin Gallery, Chelsea, NY, NY; Queens Museum, Queens, NY. Center for Documentary Studies, Duke University, Durham, NC; The Experimental Space, Long Island City, NY; and Fabio Scalia Art Space, Brooklyn, NY. In addition to being a multi-media artist and performer, she is a student of Sanskrit, and a yoga instructor with an International Teacher’s Certification in Himalayan Yoga. She lives and works in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY. More information about Suran Song and her work can be found at www.suransong.com and also at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn2P7snwycY, where she is a featured artist in a brief video describing her work.
Photographer Eleanor Sweeney makes digital transfers on metal, paper, wood and fabric, as well as traditional photographic prints. Her eye is often drawn to small, ordinary things, which she likes to manipulate a bit. She says: “I have been making photographs for a long time, starting out with classic black and white images. Gradually I became interested in color, doing a little hand coloring and working with colored slides. For many years, I made Polaroid transfers, and later began to teach myself to make transfers using digital photographs. This way I can play around with color and shape in the computer. All the photographs in this show are reflections in silver Mylar. I place a sheet of Plexiglas covered by a piece of Mylar against a tree or wall or something, set up the tripod to the side, and photograph what is reflected. The Mylar is not very tight, so it ripples in the slightest breeze, creating the wavy abstract result in the photograph. Some of the photographs are printed on paper, while others are transferred onto metal or wood.”
Eleanor Sweeney, born in Cincinnati, Ohio 1937, earned a BA in Russian from Middlebury College in 1959. She studied photography at North Country Community College from 1974-1976, and took various photography workshops around the country. In 1997 she co-founded Adirondack Artists Guild in Saranac Lake, NY. Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the Northeast, and featured in solo exhibitions at Adirondack Artists Guild and Pendragon Theatre, both in Saranac Lake; St Louis Artists Guild; Visitor Interpretive Centers in Paul Smiths and Newcomb, NY; Geonomics Center at Middlebury College, VT; and For ArtSake in Malone, NY. Recent group exhibitions include “Catching Water,” Bluseed Studios, Saranac Lake and “Imagined Landscapes,” Lake Placid Center for the Arts. She is the recipient of three NY decentralization grants, and was awarded Best In Show at Frederic Remington “Members’ Show” (2017) and First Place in Photography in “Central Adk Art Show” at View Old Forge, NY (2017). She lives and work in Saranac Lake, NY.

Open Immediately: Collages by Sarah Nicole Phillips

Sarah Nicole Phillips is a Toronto-born, Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist. Her recent work is a series of collages created with hundreds of recycled, patterned security envelopes. She says: “I began playing with security envelopes when I had an office job. I would tear open the mail every day and started noticing the intricate patterns printed on their insides. Security envelopes are used to camouflage sensitive and private documents. Their decorative patterns make it impossible to read what is inside. For this body of work, the imagery is inspired by naturally occurring camouflage. That’s what the printed pattern is for, to hide documents, and it made sense to echo the botany and camouflage idea in the work… some scenes are benign, such as a square of monotonous grass, suggestive of a wider expanse of more of the same. Recent collages include office and lobby imagery such as cubicles, elevators and artificial floral arrangements. These collages represent a fantasy in which the material of the reliable, boring disappointments of life, are transformed into a means of escape.”
Sarah Nicole Phillips earned her B.A. in Visual Studies from the University of Toronto in 2003, and her MFA from Brooklyn College in 2006, with a concentration in printmaking. From 2006-07 she participated in a year-long artist residency at the Lower Eastside Print Shop where taught monotype. Sarah exhibits widely in Canada and the US and has recently been included in shows at the Queens Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and The McKinley Arts & Culture Center in Reno, NV. In 2009 and 2014 she was a recipient of Brooklyn Arts Council Grants. Her other awards include residency fellowships from The Kimmel Harding Nelson Center, Nebraska City, NE, and Blue Mountain Center, Blue Mountain Lake, NY. Her work is in the permanent collection of NYU Langone Hospital. For more information about her work, please visit www.sarahnicolephillips.com.

Regis Brodie

Leslie Yolen

Regis Brodie works in porcelain and stoneware. His colorful, surface-layered ceramics are the culmination of his training as a painter and sculptor. Both painting and sculpture are parallel and overlapping experiences in his works. He says “My methodology of making art is exploratory in nature. It deals with the direct manipulation of materials and processes. My vessel or sculptural forms are elegant and classical. The surface painting, drawing, and textural treatment on the other hand, is out of the Abstract Expressionist and Post-Modernist Schools. I love the interplay that is created between the refinements of the form and the spontaneously decorated surface. It contrasts the elegant with the organic. I am tight and at the same time loose… I do not establish a hierarchy or dominance of the form (mass) verses the surface (decoration). As I consider the form, the surface reveals itself as it becomes intrinsic and essential to the whole.”
Regis Brodie is an Emeritus Professor of Art at Skidmore College. He earned his B.S. and Masters in Art Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and his M.F.A. from the Tyler School of Art of Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. Regis taught for 41 years in the Studio Art department at Skidmore College until his retirement in 2011. In addition to his regular teaching duties he directed Skidmore’s prestigious “Summer SIX Art Program” for 35 years, as well taught in the Summer SIX Art Program for 39 of those years. His work was recently shown at Laffer Gallery and the Saratoga Clay Studio, both in Schuylerville, NY. Regis continues his ongoing body of work with lectures and exhibits worldwide.
Leslie Yolen has worked predominantly in clay until recently, when encaustics became her favored medium. She finds her process of encaustic painting, (beeswax and tree resin mixed with pigments) similar to the additive and subtractive processes of working with clay. Her paintings on wood panels are created using brushes, torches, knives, and scraping tools. Her series of work for this exhibit is titled “Treescapes”. She says “These paintings were inspired by my lifelong fascination with trees and the way they frame our world in different light and through different seasons. The genesis for these paintings was the clearing of brush at the edge of the woods around my home, opening new and inviting views into and through the woods.”
Leslie Yolen earned her B.F.A. from Bennington College and an M.S. in Visual Arts Education from the College of Saint Rose. She is the Arts Education Associate for the New York State Education Department’s Office of Curriculum & Instruction, where she provides statewide leadership in relation to the implementation of the NYS Learning Standards for the Arts, supporting arts teachers, administrators and students across the state. Prior to working with NYSED, Leslie taught Visual Art in the public schools, focusing on curriculum development, instructional planning, and professional development for arts teachers. Her recent exhibitions include a solo show at Carey Institute for Global Good in Rensselaerville, NY, and “Great Places and Spaces”, Albany Center Gallery’s satellite exhibit at the New York State Museum, Albany NY. She lives and works in rural Albany County, NY.

Just Beyond the River, mixed media work by Daesha Devón Harris
2018-03-10 - 2018-04-13 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
March 10 – April 13, 2018
Opening Reception Saturday, March 10, 4 – 6 pm.

Gallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm, Sat 12 – 4 pm

Daesha Devón Harris is a mixed media artist weaving texts with images, historical and current, that often focus on her own home town community of Saratoga Springs, NY. By subtly combining biographic information of her subjects within her mixed media/photographic work, she documents the challenges facing urban neighborhoods, the severe effects of gentrification on many communities, as well as the diverse and rich contributions of many through history that are rarely, if ever, told. She says: “Through my artwork I strive to promote a sincere understanding of the contemporary and historic contributions of people of color … with insight, compassion and protectiveness I endeavor to capture the ‘life’ that continues to evolve amidst struggle and success. And with ardent respect for a profound past, I challenge the viewer to consider the complexity of issues facing communities of color.”
Just Beyond the River features selections from Harris’ series of mixed media pieces, made using a personal collection of unidentified discarded Victorian era portraits. In production over multiple years, throughout every season, her process includes submerging a transparent version of a portrait in a body of water amongst an arranged aquatic still-life and photographing the constructed scene. The resulting image, layered with various visual elements from the past and the present, is in fact a single frame embodying all components in the same space. Also featured are selections from Harris’ newest exploration of underwater imagery that combines time-lapse photography with choreographed movements and reenactments. This work is inspired by Negro Folklore, Slave Narratives and Harlem Renaissance poetry and aims to illuminate America’s enduring legacies of colonialism and systemic racism that defines our nation’s history, while reiterating the central narrative that emerges from the referenced memoirs – the ongoing struggle for Freedom.
Daesha Devón Harris earned her BFA in Studio Art from the College of Saint Rose, Albany, NY, and her MFA in Visual Art from The University at Buffalo, NY. She has been featured in numerous exhibitions across New York State, and beyond. Her work was recently exhibited at the 80th Mohawk-Hudson Regional at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY; Many Rivers: Black Dimensions In Art, 40 Years at the Saratoga Art Center; the 37th Annual Photography Regional at the Opalka Gallery in Albany; Reclamation at Collar Works Gallery and Just Beyond The River at the Rensselaer County Historical Society, both in Troy, NY. Along with her work as a visual artist, Harris is active in her community as a youth advocate and cultural history preservationist. Her awards include grants from NYSCA/Saratoga County Arts Funding, and she has been a featured artist and speaker at many art, community and educational events, including the 15th Annual Underground Railroad Public History Conference in Troy, NY (2016), the MDOCS Portrait and Biography Series and the Harry Burleigh Commemoration Event (2016), both at Skidmore College Saratoga Springs, NY.

"Rest Area" A Solo Exhibition of work by Rob O'Neil

Review online: Albany Times Union

Rob O’Neil finds beauty in unexpected places, particularly Rest Stops, found along highways all through the country. He is fascinated by their variety in size and amenities: some highlight past history; some are peaceful settings with gardens, and are family friendly; others are mall-like, selling goods; some are simple with only a picnic table and a trashcan. They are necessary places, all sharing a common goal: “…off-road spaces with provisions for emergency stopping and resting by motorists for short periods” (A Policy on Safety Rest Areas for the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, 1958). After earning his undergraduate degree, O’Neil took a job that had him driving a box truck across the Eastern United States several times a year. Rest areas became a vital part of his driving experience. He says: “Like a draftsman’s line across a white sheet of paper, highways and interstates paint sweeping arcs and pin-straight lines across the landscape. Multiple midpoints exist on these lines; they’re called rest areas, travel plazas, picnic areas, pit stops, or welcome centers. Even with the constant drone of traffic, these are areas of comfort and serenity. There is a structure and plan that makes sense; we breathe, and our weary bodies relax a little bit. These places are interesting and useful physically, sociologically, and emotionally.”
Rob O’Neil earned his BFA with a concentration in photography from the University of Akron, Ohio and his MFA in Cinema and Photography from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. His work has been exhibited at many regional galleries and museums, including Esther Massry Gallery; Albany Center Galleries; Albany Institute of History and Art; Opalka Gallery; University at Albany Museum; and Albany International Airport Gallery, all located in Albany, NY; The Arts Center of the Capital Region, Troy, NY; Saratoga Arts, Saratoga Springs, NY; and the Schenectady Museum, Schenectady, NY. His work has also traveled to many universities throughout the country, including Siena College, University of Akron, Florida International University, University of Nevada, and the University Museum Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. His awards include a NYFA Special Opportunity Stipend Grant; numerous College Professional Development Grants, as well as an Artists and Scholars Grant, both through the College of St. Rose. He is a three-time recipient of a Mohawk Hudson Regional Purchase Award, one for the University at Albany University Museum, and two for the Schenectady Museum. He currently lives in Albany, NY and is an Assistant Professor of Photography at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY.

Roots and Branches: Work by Betsy Krebs

Roots & Branches: Work by Betsy Krebs
A visual conversation about an unassuming building in Lake George, NY, and its impact on the community.
Betsy Krebs says the genesis of the exhibit “Roots and Branches” evolved from a strong desire to bring attention to the unique humanitarian history and events that have taken place at the Old Stone School House,a historic building located in the Town of Lake George, and her former place of residence. Krebs says this “stoic folk Victorian structure exudes strength and protection as a community strong hold. While teaching locally and living in the school house, my dream was to find out more about the space, since a lot of information was undocumented oral history. Notable Metropolitan opera singer Madam Homer was known to sing at the school house every Sunday during summer months. Georgia O’Keeffe was known to take walks on Middle road, as told by local, Clara Mae Norton. Another notable neighbor was Edward Morse Shepard, the man that Shepard Park, in the Village of Lake George, is named after. He also built and lived in what is known as Erlowest,right down the hill from the school house. The works in the exhibition are a spin off from a recipe book compiled in 1910 by the ladies of the ‘Lend a hand’ club that used the building as a meeting place after hours and on weekends, working to find ways to help the community. The recipes they compiled were the catalyst for each image in the exhibit. Recipes were submitted by local community members, as well as seasonal residents.”

Frank Owen, Searcher (2018), Acrylic on canvas, 50 x 40 inches.
Frank Owen’s paintings are a vibrant mix of colorful abstract works, both large and small in scale. He says: “I always say, there are no bad colors. I want the paintings to feel rambunctious. Extravagant. Unruly.” The works glisten, due to a unique painting process incorporating many layers. Using polyethylene coated paper, he creates a “skin” with a variety of abstract shapes, swirls, plaids, and stripes that he later cuts, scores or carves. He’ll create dozens of these “skins,” more than he’ll need, finally peeling off individual shapes from the plastic, incorporating them into his paintings. He says: “I begin to peel them off the poly, and I place them, compose them. But the whole process is front-to-back. It’s the opposite of the conventional way of layering an image. The first skins I lay down will appear as the front layer of the painting.” Many works are inspired by the natural world around him, near his home in Keene, NY.
Frank Owen was born in Kalispell, Montana in 1939, but spent much of his childhood in Woodland City, west of Sacramento, California. He received his B.A. and his M.A. from the University of California at Davis, where he received a Regents Fellowship in 1967-1968. He was twice awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1978-79 and in 1989-90. Owen’s work has been shown in galleries, museums and universities throughout the United States and Europe. For many years he has shown his work at Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York City. He lives and works in the Adirondack Mountains, in Keene, NY.

Adolph and Joshua Rosenblatt
2018-11-10 - 2018-12-14 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 10, 4 – 6 pm.

Gallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm, Sat 12 – 4 pm

Adolph Rosenblatt’s ceramic works celebrate people in their everyday lives – from the diner cook flipping eggs, the customer at the lunch counter, to a young student learning to draw. They also capture a sense of a place – depicting the house on the hill or the giant oak tree in the neighborhood – as well as capturing significant and dramatic moments from news headlines. Adolph Rosenblatt passed in February of 2017 at the age of 83. At that time Jim Higgins from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote “Rosenblatt started out painting two-dimensionally, but with a palette knife rather than brushes. The thickness of those paintings led him to sculpting in beeswax, then casting in bronze. When the cost of bronze prompted him to look for an alternative, he took inspiration from his sons’ schoolboy projects and began working in clay. But he retained a painter’s passionate concern with color.” Milwaukee Sentinel art critic Dean Jensen wrote in 1982: “The longer one studies Rosenblatt’s clay works … the more they suggest Expressionist pictures that somehow left the canvas and took on a third dimension.
Adolph Rosenblatt was born in New Haven, CT, 1933. He earned his BFA from Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1956. While at Yale he studied with art world luminaries Josef Albers, James Brooks, and Bernard Chaet. He was a beloved and celebrated Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for over 30 years. He had numerous solo exhibitions throughout the country, most recently “Moments & Markers”, a major retrospective exhibit at the Jewish Museum, Milwaukee. Other solo shows include exhibitions at Lill Street Gallery, Chicago; Tibor de Nagy Gallery, NY; Anderson Art Museum, Kenosha, WI; Milwaukee Art Museum, Haggerty Art Museum, Marquette University Gallery of Wisconsin Art; Charles Allis Art Museum; and Peltz Gallery, all in Milwaukee, WI. His work was included in group exhibitions at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence, RI; Yale School of Design Gallery, New Haven, CT; Forum Gallery, New York, NY; Kohler Art Center, Sheboygan, WI; Los Angeles Museum of Science and Industry; Objects Gallery, Chicago, IL; Tibor de Nagy Gallery, NY; Dean Jensen Gallery, and Peltz Gallery, both in Milwaukee, WI. His awards include Wisconsin Arts Board Grant, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Research Award, Midwest Arts Fellowship. In 2013 he was given a Wisconsin Visual Art Lifetime Achievement Award. His work is in the collections of the Library of Congress, Ft Wayne Museum of Art, Carlisle Museum of Art, Williamstown Museum, and Milwaukee Art Museum.

Joshua Rosenblatt, son of Adolph, often works in a series, building on a theme by drawing from life, which is later expanded and completed in his studio. His most recent works are charcoal on paper drawings that record his day-to-day life experiences. His work as Director of Collections and Exhibitions Preparation at the Whitney Museum in NYC often finds him traveling to install exhibitions throughout the US, Europe, Russia, and Asia. His travels resulted in a series of work observing people in public spaces, such as airport terminals, and another set of drawings depicting hotel room interiors. Other themes developed through observing the changing light and shadows on an exterior wall of his home over the course of several years, views from his daily commute to work, as well the view through his car window. His reflections of seemingly “mundane” places, be it from business travel, or walks through his neighborhood, celebrate the easily lost details of how light, reflections, patterns, and human gestures, create a unique mood and sense of place. Much like his father, Joshua’s drawings, ranging from big and bold to light and delicate, share a compassion for humanity in their sensitivity in depicting people, recognizing the nuance of places, and much that is overlooked in a “busy” world.
Joshua Rosenblatt earned his BFA from SUNY Purchase in 1986. Recent exhibitions include his third solo show at The RE Institute in Millerton, NY, a 2000 square foot exhibition space, where he displayed a number of large-scale drawings. His work has been included in group exhibitions at Brooklyn Cider House, The Williamsburg Art and Historical Center, Shim, Paper Box, Brooklyn Fireproof, Arthelix – all located in Brooklyn, NY; Charles Allis Art Museum, Gallery of Wisconsin, J.C.C. Gallery, all located in Milwaukee, WI; White Box, New York, NY; One Mile Gallery, Kingston, NY; and Portland Gallery of Art, Portland, ME. He lives and works in Astoria, NY.
While we feature here the work of these two members of the Rosenblatt family, this is a family of accomplished creative poets and painters: Suzanne, Adolph’s wife, and Joshua’s mother, is a poet and visual artist; Adolph’s daughter Sarah is a poet; Eli, Joshua’s twin brother, is also a painter. The family also has close ties to Lake George, having vacationed in the region for many years.

Adaptations to Extremes, An Art / Science Collaboration
2019-01-19 - 2019-02-22
Artist Reception – February 2nd 4:00-6:00pm
Panel Talk at Bolton Historical Museum, February 3rd at 3pm
Both events are FREE and open to the public
Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Friday: 1:00-5:00pm and Saturday 12:00-4:00pm

The Lake George Arts Project has produced a 30 page hardcover book documenting the Adaptations to Extremes Project. You can view the book online HERE. If you would like to purchase a hard copy, please call us (518) 668-2616 or contact mail@lakegeorgearts.org.

Opening January 19th and running through February 22nd, 2019, the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery will present “Adaptations to Extremes,” an Art/Science collaboration. The reception for the artists has been rescheduled for February 2nd, 4 – 6 pm. The exhibition is co-curated by Laura Von Rosk and scientists Dr. Joan Bernhard and Dr. Sam Bowser; artists include Elizabeth Albert, JoAnn Axford, Terry Conrad, Josh Dorman, Susan Heideman, Eva Henderson, Charlene Leary, Deanna Lee, Corwin Levi, Marilyn McCabe, Joy Muller-McCoola, Jeanne Noordsy, Shaun O’Boyle, Victoria Palermo, Rebecca Smith, and Kathleen Thum.
In addition to the exhibition at the Courthouse Gallery in Lake George, there will be a panel discussion on February 3rd, 3 PM, at the Bolton Historical Museum in Bolton Landing, NY, with writer Michael Coffey serving as moderator. A number of participating artists will join curator Laura Von Rosk and scientists Joan Bernhard and Sam Bowser to discuss the importance of Joan’s research, as well as the challenges and insights resulting from this year-long art/science dialogue, and their endeavors in artistic creations and interdisciplinary connections. Both events are FREE and open to the public.
A major theme in the biological sciences is the way in which organisms adapt to environmental extremes. The Santa Barbara Basin is a bowl-shaped geological formation off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. Limited movement of water in this depression has created an environment severely depleted of oxygen. In such a place it would be surprising to find organisms that need oxygen to live, yet scientists have documented the existence of foraminifera, a type of single-celled organism, living there in abundance. How have foraminifera adapted to an oxygen-deprived environment? For that matter, how do anyorganisms respond to living in such extreme environments? These questions fuel the research of Dr. Joan Bernhard, from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, and her colleagues in their study of this natural “dead zone” in the ocean. The exhibition “Adaptations to Extremes” presents work by a group of artists engaged with the scientists involved in this research, as well as samples of their communications over the course of this ongoing project.
One group of artists explored the theme specifically using the “optics” of Dr. Bernhard’s research. These artists made new work based on correspondence with Dr. Bernhard and her colleague Sam Bowser, scientific advisor to the exhibition. They were offered access to technical reports, photographs, and the researchers’ hypotheses. One artist, Terry Conrad, was invited to accompany and assist Dr. Bernhard’s crew last spring aboard the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Robert Gordon Sproul research vessel as they sampled the sea floor in the Santa Barbara Basin.
A second group of artists — selected for the exhibition because of their interest in the biological or marine sciences – had already produced original works germane to the broad theme of adaptation.
Dr. Bowser engaged with all the artists by questioning them on their artworks using the scientific method of hypothesis testing. The resulting dialogues in both groups – artists responding to scientific research, and scientists responding to artworks – were often surprising, sometimes amusing, and always thoughtful and fascinating.
What informs both the work of science and art is a spirit of inquiry and imagination. Equally, both disciplines must embrace their sometimes perplexing results — and then dive in and ponder further.
This exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust; Adirondack Studios; the Community Exchange Foundation; Mannix Marketing; the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute; and the National Science Foundation.

Brian Cirmo
2019-03-09 - 2019-04-12 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 9th, 4 – 6 pm.
This event is FREE and open to the public.
Gallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm, Sat 12 – 4 pm

Often working in a series, prolific painter Brian Cirmo sources western painting, literature, popular culture, and personal memories to create his narrative paintings. His works are both poignant and humorous, intelligent and sharp-witted examinations of the “human condition, such as life and death, love and loss, evolution and creationism, comedy and tragedy, fame and anonymity, conflict and harmony, and morality and immorality.”
He explains: “I have spent the past two decades traveling throughout the country visiting museums, large cities, small towns, national parks, civil war battlefields, assassination sites, graveyards, and national monuments. I am a lifelong student of the vast profundity of American music as well as a glutton for American history, literature, western painting, film, comic strips, and cartoons; all of which have consumed my nights and days. These interests and practices are harvested and used within my process to create an intertextuality in the paintings.”
Cirmo was born in Utica, NY and completed his first two years of college at Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute. He earned his B.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY, and an M.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from the State University of New York at Albany. Cirmo has had multiple solo exhibitions including recent shows at the Burrell Roberts Triangle Gallery, Sinclair College in Dayton, OH; the Rice Gallery, McDaniel College in Westminster, MD; and the Wilson Art Gallery, Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY. He has appeared in numerous group exhibitions in museums and galleries across the country including: Mills Gallery, Boston Center for the Arts in Boston, MA; The Hyde Collection Museum in Glens Falls, NY; Kellogg Gallery, Cal Poly University in Pomona, CA; and Antenna Gallery, New Orleans, LA. His awards include an Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency in Granville, NY; the 2017 Mona Ruth Brickman Artist of the Year Award from Albany Center Gallery; a 2009 and 2013 Juror’s award at the Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region; and in 2009 and 2015 a University at Albany Purchase Award at the Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region Exhibition. His work is in the collections of University Art Museum in Albany; Siena College; and the College of Saint Rose.
Cirmo lives and works in Albany, NY and Syracuse, NY and is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Onondaga Community College.

Works by Yura Adams stem from her intimate survey and imaginative observations of the natural world outside her studio window, located in the Hudson Valley of NY State. There, surrounded by overgrown fields, observing weather events and the changing light of the seasons, she creates works that are abstract, but inspired by, and rooted in, the real world. Her deep interest in the natural sciences, as well as cultural and current events, have lead to a new body of work: Fast Earth. She says: “The study of Earth is at the center here… a vision of Earth as it survives without hum

Gallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm, Sat 12 – 4 pm.
Joshua Brehse

Joshua Brehse’s recent works contain encaustic paint on hand-cut pieces of wood assembled into a variety of configurations. These three-dimensional, irregularly-shaped works range from descriptive to abstract, all rooted in landscape. He says: “Throughout my career the landscape has been my primary inspiration. For over fifteen years I have been incorporating the unique characteristics of encaustic paint (beeswax) into my work and continue to find new applications for this incredibly versatile and seductive medium. Being a lifelong resident of the Hudson River Valley, I am very much drawn to the long history of American landscape painting and see my work as part of that continuum.”
Josh Brehse earned his BFA in Painting from Boston University and MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College, Montpelier, VT. His work has been exhibited at a number of galleries throughout the Northeast region, including Gallery at Rhinebeck, Rhinebeck, NY; Andrea Keogh Gallery, Litchfield CT; Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson, NY; Atwater Gallery, Rhinebeck, NY; Hudson Mohawk Regional at the Hyde Collection, Glens Falls (2013); Albany Institute of History, Albany NY; Hudson Opera House, Hudson, NY; Woodstock School of Art, Woodstock, NY; Diane Birdsall Gallery, Old Lyme CT; Vermont College, Montpelier, VT; The Stage Gallery, Merrick, NY ; Boylan Gallery, Rhinebeck; and the Barrett Art Center, Poughkeepsie, NY.

Matt Chinian

Matt Chinian is a prolific landscape painter, working in oil. Matt travels throughout upstate New York seeking subjects – both urban and rural. Working quickly on site (usually less than 2 hours per painting) allows him to capture fleeting atmospheric light conditions. He says: “Like a reporter I record time and place of my wanderings around Upstate New York and New England. I find places and scenes that fascinate me: quiet woodland or gas station, farmland or industrial site, places I see in passing, sometimes from the corner of my eye often times easily overlooked. This is where I find the beauty and the sublime.”
Matt Chinian earned his BA in Sculpture and painting at Bennington College, Bennington, VT and 1988 MFA in Sculpture and Drawing at the University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany NY. His work has been exhibited at many venues throughout the region, including The Laffer Gallery Schuylerville NY; Amp Galleries, Saratoga Springs NY; Landscapes for Landsake, Coila, NY; Saratoga Springs Public Library; Folk Life Center, Crandall Library, Glens Falls, NY; Salem Art Works, Salem, NY; Saratoga Springs Visitors Center; Uncommon Grounds, Albany, NY; Goodrich Gallery, Williams College, Williamstown, MA; Munson Williams Proctor, Utica, NY; Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, NY; SUNY Albany, Albany, NY; and The Hyde Collection, Glens Falls, NY.

Kellyann Monaghan

Kellyann Monaghan’s dramatic paintings and mono-prints are inspired by nuances of light, atmosphere and weather. Her recent works maintain a painterly directness in depicting catastrophic weather and its effect on the landscape and human made structures, evoking a sense of both anxiety and awe of natural phenomena. She says: “Stormy weather and extreme climate conditions permeating the natural landscape have become a new trajectory in my painting. The surface of the paintings erupts with textured and expressive gestural marks, which are depictions of radical weather events. The weather is instinctive inspiration for my tendencies as an alla prima (wet on wet) painter.”
Kellyann Monaghan earned her BFA in Painting from Moore College of Art and Design, Philadelphia, PA and MFA in Painting, from Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, NY. Her recent solo exhibitions include Artist of the Month, Edward Hopper Art Center, Nyack, NY; Brooklyn Landscapes, Exhibit Salon, Brooklyn, NY; Cityscapes: Rivers, Bridges and Towers, Piermont Straus Gallery, Piermont, NY; Recent French Landscapes, St. Asaph’s Gallery, Philadelphia, PA; Landscapes, Earlville Opera House Gallery, Earlville, NY. Her awards include a La Muse Artist Residencyat Labastide Esparbaireneque, France; an Exhibition Grantfrom the Lower Manhattan Cultural Alliance; and a Greenwall Foundation Grantfrom Brooklyn Public Library. She is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Adelphi University in Garden City, NY.

SEVEN COUNT: "After the Tone"
2019-09-14 - 2019-10-19 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Running from September 14 through October 19, 2019, the Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents After the Tone, a unique multidisciplinary, improvisational, multimedia installation which will include two separate live performances created by the artist collective Seven Count: Angus McCullough, Jake Nussbaum and Adam Tinkle.
On September 14, 6.30 pm, Seven Count will play a variety of instruments (trumpet, saxophone, guitar, percussion) and a vast library of samples, taking audiences on a genre-bending improvisatory trip embedded in the immersive installation they created specifically for the Courthouse Gallery. (Lake George Arts Project Jazz Weekend fans, note that this event takes place between sets of musicians performing in nearby Shepard Park, allowing time to attend both.) There will be a closing reception on October 19, 4 – 6 pm, including a second live performance at 5 pm that is the culmination of content gathered during this 5-week exhibition. All events are FREE.
The exhibition After the Tone is expected to evolve in response to viewer participation. Adam Tinkle, Seven Count member, explains: “After the Tone is an immersive, interactive collage in multiple media: including sound installation, archival ephemera on paper and video, and a deck of cards for divination and creative strategy. The continuous soundscape projected from around the gallery offers a space for meditative reflection, while the other elements suggest new ways to listen and provide pathways for discovery and inspiration. Though disparate in form, these varied threads all emerge from the artists’ years-long process of improvised music-making, pirate radio broadcasting, collaboration with friends and strangers, and resulting development of a cosmology of sound and social interaction.”
Seven Count is Angus McCullough, Jake Nussbaum and Adam Tinkle. Its collective output to date includes two LPs of music (on Risky Forager Records), three gallery exhibitions (at Border Patrol in Portland, ME, at BUOY in Kittery, ME, and at Community Arts Phoenixville, PA), an editioned ‘zine with cassette (shown at artist book fairs across the Northeast), a sonic dinner and tea ceremony, as well as numerous live performances and radio broadcasts.

Solomon Charitable Trust; Adirondack Studios; the Community Exchange Foundation; Mannix Marketing; the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Ken Ragsdale
2019-11-02 - 2019-12-06 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Memory As Process RevisitedA solo exhibition of work by Ken Ragsdale
Nov 2 to Dec 6, 2019
Opening Reception: Sat, Nov 2, 4-6 pm.
This event is FREE and open to the public.
Gallery Hours:Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pmSat 12 – 4 pm.
Ken Ragsdale’s work is constructed from his childhood memories, particularly of camping in the Pacific Northwest, and his current reflections on the growth of America as a nation. His work creates an atmosphere of tension and anticipation generated by open space and large scale, and by ambiguous forms in incongruous spaces. In this, even the most mundane events of his past are reformed into epic visual stories.
Ragsdale says: “I try to illustrate in my work, on as many levels as I can, the callous, ironic, and indifferent manipulations related to the national belief in manifest destiny. At the same time, I want to expose and illuminate the beauty and welcoming comfort of the landscape that remains and my relationship to it.”
Ken Ragsdale’s photographic works are likewise literal constructions. He begins by making rough sketches of places and things from his past that tie to contemporary themes. These sketches become working drawings, and from these, complex schematics, which are cut out, folded, and tabbed into colorless three-dimensional forms. He then moves to the camera, using the lens to create the final image, and arranging his studio lighting to create color and atmosphere.

in a blue time - solo exhibition by Justin Baker
2020-01-18 - 2020-02-21 | Courthouse Gallery, 1 Amherst St, Lake George, NY, 12845, United States
Gallery Hours: Wed – Fri 12 – 5 pm, Sat 12 – 4 pm
Listen HERE for Justin’s interview with NCPR’s Mitch Teich
“hand, shadow, weed and New Yorker page.” Archival inkjet print, 2018
Justin Baker’s exhibition, in a blue time, is a product of his extensive “and at times exhaustive” exploration of photography as an alchemic process and medium. In his most recent work, Baker uses long-expired slide film, but processes it as normal color film in order to introduce chance color possibilities. The color prints are then manipulated digitally, allowing for further transmutation and the ability to add elements that didn’t previously exist.
in a blue time contains three distinct bodies of Baker’s work — each answering a unique question, but all working in tandem.
A death in the family stemmed from two questions – “how can image-making be most simplified to be more direct?” and the second arising from the concurrent beginning of his fatherhood and imminent death of his own father. Critical to this body of work are the artist’s meditative thoughts on life and death and how these two aspects of life are necessary.
Exodus from Mirth (a requiem for Sara Burdock) sees Baker returning to his interest in introducing more chance into the photographic process and color.
“Frodo’s Ghost XVII” Archival inkjet print, 2019
Frodo’s ghost and other ephemera, is the culmination of experimentation with other materials and process — primarily using 3 black and white negatives plus 3 RGB filters to create color separations. This method of color photography was the first viable means to create color photographs. With this ongoing body of work the concentration has shifted more towards the experience of time, perception and illusory space.
Justin Baker grew up in Greenwich, NY. He attended Sage Jr. College of Albany for two years and studied Photography. The next two years were spent playing music and writing songs with his friends. Purchase College came next, where his artistic strides led him to Printmaking and, again Photography. In 2007 Justin received his MFA with a concentration in Combined Media at SUNY Albany. Justin teaches Digital Imaging and Web Art and Design at Hudson Valley Community College. He is also a board member of Collar Works Gallery in Troy, NY. He currently lives in Troy, NY with his wife Kyra, daughters Lola and Rona, and cats Lulu and Lilly.

The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets, Lake George, NY. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm, Saturday 12 – 4 pm, and all other times by appointment.

Katherine Chwazik
2020-03-07 - 2020-04-10
Opening reception March 7, 4 – 6pm.
In compliance with the public health recommendations and mandates, the Courthouse Gallery will be closed through the month of March. Please stay tuned for updates.
Please Click HERE to view a brief slideshow of Katherine’s exhibition at the Courthouse Gallery, or view same photos below.

Through combined processes of printmaking, drawing, and sculpture, Katherine Chwazik creates layered architectural imagery inspired by places in and around the Capital Region of Albany, NY. This recent work explores the meaning of home and place for herself, as well as other current and former residents of Albany County. Chwazik interviewed a number of regional residents, gathering memories and emotional impressions, visiting the homes themselves to make observational drawings.
While the drawings become the structure of a piece, the residents’ recollections guide her goal to capture the mood and experience of their homes. She says: “I use printmaking and sculpture to fluidly inform one another and to build hybrid objects. I construct spaces that reference the local and regional urban environment to evoke a sense of place. Many of the spaces I create are familiar and believable, but not factual or possible.”
One of the works in the exhibition, “Smallbany,” is a 7-foot woodblock print depicting a cityscape composite of a number of Albany’s notable buildings. She says: “The title pokes fun at the city’s nickname while simultaneously highlighting how truly monumental some parts of the city can feel.”
Katherine Chwazik earned her M.A. from The College of Saint Rose, where she also completed her dual concentration B.F.A. in Art Education and Drawing and Painting. Her work was recently exhibited at Albany’s Architecture through Artists’ Eyes, Historic Albany Foundation, Albany; Algorithms, Scarlet Seven Fine Art Gallery, Troy, NY; Tchotchke, Nine Pin, Albany, NY; Fence Select, The Arts Center of the Capital Region, Troy, NY; Impressive, Albany Barn, Albany, NY; and Compound Fragments, Albany Center Gallery, Albany, NY. Her awards include a DEC Arts Grant / Individual Artist Commission in 2018 for Memory and Observation; A Mixed-Media Study of “Home”, and a Juror’s Choice Award for BUILT, through Historic Albany Foundation, 2017.
This exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George; the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust; 518 Profiles; Mannix Marketing; Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation; and LGAP members. Please Join us today!

Lee Malerich Checklist of works
Michael Van Winkle Checklist of works
This exhibition will be installed in the gallery, but while public health mandates related to COVID 19 are in place, the gallery will remain closed, and we will not host any receptions or meetings. We will reassess the situation as restrictions are eventually lifted, possibly allowing for pre-scheduled gallery visits for individuals, or very small groups.
Lee Malerich, “Disguise”. Recycled wooden chairs, 29 x 18 x 19 inches.
About the Artists:
Both Lee Malerich and Michael Van Winkle create works depicting or referencing the human figure. Lee Malerich considers women’s issues, and bodies, as she recycles broken wooden furniture. Michael Van Winkle’s acrylic on canvas works depict figures in contorted postures, literally pushing against the painting’s perimeters. Each in their unique way taps into shared aspects of our collective human condition.
Lee Malerich utilizes discarded chairs, reassembling them into expressive sculptures that serve as metaphors for the female body. She says: “I make Uneasy Chairs. Chairs in which one cannot sit. Each chair represents a woman – They reflect the human body without describing it. They inhabit the body’s negative space. They contain many parts of many different chairs, redesigned so they can continue to stand, after losing a bit of themselves. Imagine scar tissue, as the viewer notes the differences between a normal chair and these mixed and matched rebuilt modifications which are the poster girls of resistance. How is a woman’s composition altered when she has a baby on her hip? Or when the baby is still in utero?”
Lee Malerich earned her BFA and MFA in Fiber/Fabrics from Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois. Her work has been exhibited at many venues, including Columbia College; Coker College; University of South Carolina; Columbia Museum of Art (all in South Carolina); The Ormond Beach Museum, Ormond Beach, Fl; Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, Louisville, KY; North Carolina Folk Art Center, Asheville, NC; and Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, Wilmington, DE. Her awards include three South Carolina Arts Commission fellowships in the area of Crafts, and one Regional National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She currently lives in Neeses, SC. Learn more about Lee Malerich at leemalerich.wordpress.com.
Michael Van Winkle, “In the Wet with Shards”, acrylic on canvas, 46 x 30 inches.
Michael Van Winkle’s paintings stem from a mix of observation, invention and memory. His recent paintings explore a broad tradition of representational painting and its relationship to abstraction. He says: “Dancers, explorers and amateur philosophers; the figures in my paintings and drawings are earnest and silly. They are working hard to discover meaning within the bounds of their environment. Their bodies are poised and their positions strain for purpose. However, the paintings aren’t primarily concerned with their actions or intentions, but focus on their material constraints and the painted environment they inhabit.”
Michael Van Winkle earned his BFA in Painting, with a Minor in Philosophy, from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, NY, and his MFA in Painting from State University of New York at Albany. His work was recently exhibited in solo shows at The Times Club, Iowa City, IA; ECA+ Gallery, Easthampton, MA; Historic Northampton Museum, Northampton, MA; Yates Gallery, Siena College, Loudonville, NY; The Foundry for Art, Design and Culture, Cohoes, NY; and in group shows at LabSpace, Hillsdale, NY; Collarworks Gallery, Troy NY; and Artspace, New Haven, CT. His awards include residencies at The Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency in Granville, NY; Ragged Edge Print Studio, Cohoes, NY; and Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT. He has taught at Skidmore College, Siena College, The Doane Stuart School, SUNY Albany, and College of St Rose. He currently lives in Mechanicville, NY.

Shelter, gouache, 15 x 11 inches, 2020.
Wadding, gouache, 15 x 11 inches, 2020.

Jenny Kemp’s vibrant abstract paintings, drawings and animations reflect phenomena of the natural world. Biomorphic forms are created through hand-painted parallel lines that weave through space. Through pattern repetition, overlapping shapes, interactions of contrasting colors, she creates an illusion of space and movement referencing nature, biology and human experience.
She says: “This body of work is a continued concentration on line and pattern and its ability to embody conduits for trains of thought. I create rhythmic spaces where compositions begin with a revelatory moment and grow into a reactionary process in which linear marks thread, converse and evolve into breathing forms with teeming energies. Housed within significant shapes that sometimes reference personal events and musings, these become visual manifestations of discovery, habitude, and human navigation.”
Whirlwind, gouache, 15 x 11 inches, 2020.
Jenny Kemp earned her BS in Art from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and MFA in Painting from the University at Albany. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the country, most recently at Gold/Scopophilia* in Montclair, NJ and the Mandeville Gallery at Union College in Schenectady, NY. She has been featured in publications such as 100 Painters of Tomorrow published by Thames & Hudson, New American Paintings, The Huffington Post, Seattle’s City Arts, New York Times, and The New England Review. Kemp is also a recipient of a 2015 NYFA fellowship in painting and the 2015 Emerging Artist Award recipient from the Art Center of the Capital Region in Troy, NY. She sits on the board of Collar Works, an art space dedicated to the support of emerging and under-represented artists exhibiting challenging and culturally-relevant contemporary artworks in Troy, NY where she lives and works.

Check out online review from GET VISUAL Art Blog HERE >
Jack Solomon’s vibrant paintings are a complex mix of imagery, often whimsical, with rich colors and surfaces. Working from a red undercoat creates luminous eye-popping effects where the red paint is exposed. It also serves to unify the contrasting forms weaving through the paintings intricate space. Solomon draws from many sources, including early modernism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, pop art and cartoon imagery, to name a few. But Solomon finds inspiration everywhere. He says: “There is not a day that goes by that I am not inspired by something or someone. I’m very grateful for this.” Finding inspiration from so many places has led to a prolific painting career spanning many decades.
He says: “My paintings are a condensation of sensations received through juxtapositions of shape, line and color, interpreted into a visual language. Inventing a unique structure that positions disparate elements to the whole is one of the most challenging and motivation facets of making my art. I have been intrigued throughout my creative life with the similarities among all the arts as to how component parts assembled within a specific context come to a desired gestalt. It is the organization and orchestration in musical composition that I most profoundly relate to and have been influenced by.”
Re-Encounter, acrylic on canvas, 24 x 18 inches.
Jack Solomon earned his B.A. from San Diego State College, and M.A. from San Francisco State College. He also served in the Underwater Demolition Team in the U.S. Navy from 1953 – 57. His work has been featured in many solo exhibitions, most recently at Gallery A, Richmond, VA; Hudson Opera House, Hudson, NY; Conde Nast Gallery, New York, NY; Clement Art Gallery, Troy, NY; and Albany Center Gallery, Albany, NY. His work has been included in recent group exhibitions at Lockwood Gallery, Kingston, NY; Thompson Giroux Gallery, Chatham NY; Cross Cotemporary, Saugerties, NY; Scarlet Seven Fine Art Gallery, Troy, NY; and Geoffrey Young Gallery, Great Barrington, MA.

About the Artist:
Steve Rosenzweig’s materials include metal, wood, canvas, plastic, and paint. Working spontaneously, these materials are cut, bolted, burned, stretched, melted, or poured into works that are developed with no blueprint or specific plan. The pieces evolve as they are being constructed. Rosenzweig’s process relies in improvisation, essential for invention and discovery, as well as deliberation and precision, needed for constructing 3-D works on and off the wall.
He says: “Moving through the stretches that mark my time in the studio, each new series is typically prompted by a blend of specific and hazy motivators. In this latest spell, I found myself looking at Baroque still life paintings. These were of commonplace objects, both natural and man-made, and often created without a deliberate expression of allegory or symbolism… My first piece in this sculptural gambit was a simple still life – a vase of roses, carved in wood. Allowing the principle elements to remain representational, I simultaneously engaged my toolbox of bold textures, dissonant shapes and vibrant colors in an effort to find a pulse and generate some energy. This sparked another 3D still life, and then another.”
Referring to his new work in this exhibition he says: “Psychedelic, cut-out shapes and saturated matte colors became a nod to animation cels and the cartoons I loved as a kid. Kooky characters and loose gestures emerged, as if I was channeling my prepubescent self – someone who would incessantly doodle in the margins of my notebooks in school.”
Steve Rosenzweig​ ​earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking from SUNY Purchase. After receiving his BFA, he moved to NYC and worked as a studio assistant to internationally recognized artist, Red Grooms. Soon after, he embarked on a decades-long stretch working as a Production Designer in the film, television and theater businesses. He has been involved in projects spanning Independent movies, Dr. Seuss-inspired children’s TV programming, to a stage production which premiered at the Salzburg Opera Festival. Rosenzweig’s work is in the collection of the Beinecke Library at Yale University, and in private collections both regionally and in Europe. Recently he was commissioned to create paintings for set decoration for ABC and Warner Brothers Television. He currently lives and works in New York State’s Hudson Valley.
The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets, Lake George, NY. Hours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm, Saturday 12 – 4 pm, and all other times by appointment.

About the Artist:
“Watching History Repeat”, oil on wood panel, 16 x 11 inches.
Susan Hoffer’s new work is deeply rooted in her surrounding environment, rural Upstate NY’s Adirondack Park. Her autobiographical paintings spring from her experiences and exchanges with family, friends, students and neighbors. With close attention to current events, and a keen eye for observing detail, she depicts how technology is relied on and weaved into everyday life. Her subjects are carefully staged in various interior spaces, often with dramatic lighting rendered through thick brushwork, and surrounded by objects that inform each narrative. Her compositions reveal psychological states of her subjects, her empathy for them, as well as her love of light and texture in paint.
She says: “I am interested in the experience of real or perceived isolation that is a result of geographical place and in the ways we use technology to form connections. In our digital age, new media have become a primary means of informational access for many people living in rural areas such as the Adirondack Park. In each painting, I aim to connect my subjects to their broader context, hinting at their engagement with global concerns…Those whom I meet speak of an interest to be engaged in culture and politics beyond their immediate locale; a reliance on often unreliable internet and cell towers; suspicion about how to tell which internet sources might troll or manipulate truth; and always pressure—pressure to piece together multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. It is evident, too, that there are frictions here that have resulted from acres of poverty with pockets of great wealth, and shifting and aging populations; all of this I express through ordinary objects and people, frayed cuffs and halos of light, non-traditional alignments of the pedestrian and the sublime. And through this body of work, I am becoming increasingly aware of theeasy assumptions we make about ourselves and others.”
“Saving the planet’s biodiversity – one turtle at a time – Schroon Lake, NY”, oil on wood panel, 16 x 11 inches, 2020.
Susan Hoffer​ ​earned her Bachelor in Art and Education at Molloy College and her MFA in Visual Arts / Painting at Johnson State College, Johnson, VT.

Her awards include grants from Essex County Arts Council Grant, a European Studies Grant from Emma Willard School, residencies at Tyrone Guthrie, Newbliss, Ireland, Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, Canada and Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT. She was awarded First Place Award from Northwind Fine Arts Gallery, Saranac Lake, NY 2020; Juror’s Choice Award from North Country Arts, Glens Falls NY, 2020; Best of Show Award at AAG Juried Invitational, Saranac Lake, NY 2020; Best of Show, The Shirt Factory Juried Invitational, Glens Falls, NY 2020; Best of Show, LPCA Juried Invitational, Lake Placid, NY 2019; ​Mohawk-Hudson Regional Juror’s Award and a Purchase Prize from Albany Institute of History and Art in 2018.

The Waiting Part 1(d), 16″x11″, oil on canvas, 2020.
The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “The Waiting”, a solo exhibition of recent work by Scott Brodie.

About the Artist:
Scott Brodie has been painting what could be defined as the seemingly “ordinary” for most of his 40+ years as an artist. This exhibition will feature his most recent work, all created within the last year. They are observations of daily life, ranging from still life to landscape. Through the immediacy of his loose brush work, these deftly painted works capture the intimacy of meditative moments of observation of light and color. Depending on his subject, Brodie alternates his palette from bold saturated colors to warm soft light, accentuated with flecks of a warm ground color peeking through. Any object, such as a glass, a can, a chair, a plant, or a lawnmower, can be transformed into a celebration of painting.
Plague Spring No. 6, 14”x11”, oil on canvas, 2020.
He says: “The series titles, ‘Plague Spring,’ ‘Beached in the Backyard,’ and ‘The Waiting’ do refer to the pandemic, or more precisely to the state of existing during the pandemic, but they are open-ended and don’t dictate the subject matter… In terms of subject, there is only a tangential connection. I generally don’t favor ‘topical’ work, it tends to be newsy, literal, and has a short shelf life. But the staying-at-home and the waiting-for-it-to-pass have had an effect. For one, it got me out of the house to do some plein air work, but alas, only as far as my back yard”.

Scott Brodie earned his Bachelor of Science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Master of Fine Arts in Painting & Drawing from the School of Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, Boston. His recent exhibition include “Something” (2-Person show with Paul Mauren), Onandaga Community College Gallery, Syracuse, NY, 2020; “Affinities and Outliers”, University at Albany Art Museum, Albany, NY, 2020; “Roaring Twenties”, Joyce Goldstein Gallery, Chatham, NY, 2020; “Holiday”, Labspace, Hillsdale, NY, 2019; “Artists of the Hudson Mohawk Region”, Hyde Collection, Glens Falls, NY, 2019. His work has also been included in group exhibitions at Picotte Gallery, College of Saint Rose, Albany; Opalka Gallery, Albany, NY; Geoffrey Young Gallery, Great Barrington, MA; Massry Center for the Arts, Albany, NY; Albany International Airport Gallery, Albany, NY; and Pierogi Gallery, Brooklyn, NY. His awards include residencies at MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, NH; Yaddo, Saratoga Springs, NY; Ragdale Foundation, Lake Forest, IL; and a Dr. Arthur N. Collins Purchase Award from the “Artists of the Hudson-Mohawk Region”, Hyde Collection, Glens Falls, NY. Brodie retired from The College of Saint Rose in 2018, after 33 years as a Professor of Drawing and Painting. He currently lives in Niskayuna, NY.

"Go Home", works by Paul Akira Miyamoto
2021-05-05 - 2021-06-05
Reach, oil on canvas, 30 x 24”, 2021
The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “Go Home“, a solo exhibition of work by Paul Akira Miyamoto.
The exhibition is installed in the gallery from May 5 – June 5, 2021, and available for the public to view.
In place of an on-site gallery reception, LGAP hosted a Live Online Talk with Paul Akira Miyamoto on May 4, 2021.​ View an edited recording of the talk HERE.
Miyamoto’s grandparents came to the United States from Kumamoto, Japan, and worked as itinerant farmers throughout the central coast of California and the desert of the Imperial Valley. During WWII they, along with Paul’s parents and oldest sibling, were sent to Poston Camp in Arizona. The internment of naturalized citizens as well as Americans of Japanese descent, from 1941 to 1946, informs much of Paul’s work of late. The figures in his paintings recall the Issei, a term used for first generation Japanese Americans who emigrated from Japan, but were not eligible for U.S. citizenship. The distilled forms of field workers, often placed in landscapes drawn from his own memory, portray the strength and endurance of past family members, but could easily represent present-day immigrant farmworkers.
He says: “My paintings reflect a relationship to the geography of my past and the silent rage and emotional shame that earlier generations were never able to express. The mountains illustrate the barriers to independence, the furrows signify the possibility of regeneration, and the clear, expansive skies invite hope for the future.”
Promise, oil on canvas, 30 x 24”, 2021

"The End of Eden", paintings by Laura Colomb
2021-07-14 - 2021-08-14
The Lake George Arts Project’s Courthouse Gallery presents “The End of Eden”, a solo exhibition of paintings by Laura Colomb, July 14 – August 14, 2021.

View our Online Talk with Laura Colomb from July 14, 2021, HERE.
Read Robert Shane’s review in Whitehot Magazine HERE.

All are welcome to join us for our closing reception on August 14, 4 – 6 pm. Come meet Laura Colomb in person! All visitors will be required to wear a mask, and practice social distancing.
Laura Colomb, a native of Glens Falls, on the southern border of the Adirondack Park, has long been aware of the complex messages that weave through the desire for preservation of wild spaces. Her appreciation of the role State and National Parks play in allowing one to experience nature, especially substantially wild areas, is part of what informs her work as a painter, as well as the complicated historical records of particular places, often at odds with the natural beauty of the place.
Her most recent work focuses on sites just outside her current city of Jacksonville, FL, primarily Kingsley Plantation, Fort Caroline National Monument and the Talbot Islands State Parks. She says: “Most major natural spaces, where one can really experience raw nature, are through State and National Parks; many of which were initially protected due to their proximity to sites which contained historical significance. The density of these forests, with the ominous rustle of creatures moving next to you, but which you can’t see, create a miasma of nightmare. Yet, in the light, the greenery, and the scrub, there is a rich beauty, as if steeped in a world where time stands still, where one can still momentarily get lost in the romanticism of the natural landscape.”
Laura Colomb earned her BFA degree from the College of Saint Rose, Albany, NY, a BA degree in French Studies from the University of North Florida, Jacksonville, FL and MFA degree at Boston University, Boston, MA. Recent exhibitions include Sensory Illusions, The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Contemplations, Jax Makerspace, Jacksonville, FL, and an upcoming solo exhibition at Onondaga Community College, Syracuse, NY. Her awards include an Art Ventures grant from the Community Foundation of Northeast Florida, the Starr Fellowship from the Royal Academy of the Arts in London, UK, Best Emerging Regional Curator award from Metroland Magazine, Constantin Alajalov Scholarship and Academic scholarship from Boston University, as well as the Artist’s Award, Visual Arts scholarship and Academic Scholarship from the College of Saint Rose. She has taught at the University of North Florida, Boston University, the College of Saint Rose and SUNY Adirondack. She has been a guest critic/speaker for the Camberwell College of Art in London, UK, The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY and the Upper Hudson Valley Watercolor Society in Queensbury, NY. She has curated and organized exhibitions for various galleries including Saratoga Arts in Saratoga Springs, NY and North Main Gallery in Salem, NY.
