After living 30 years in the Adirondack Mountains\, she and her husband have relocated and established their studio in Altamont\, New York.Her explorations in art making are varied. Ms. DeAngelo studied Fine Art at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Her concentrations were in Painting and Printmaking. She graduated with a BFA and went on to earn her MSEd from Potsdam College. Working with children has been a passion and inspiration for Ms. DeAngelo. Having taught hundreds of young artists over her career\, Ms. DeAngelo shares their love of exploration and discovery.In addition to teaching art in the classroom setting\, Ms. DeAngelo has facilitated murals\, art clubs\, and community art enrichment programs. Ms. DeAngelo has worked in large scale installation\, mural painting\, studio painting\, sculpture\, printmaking\, fabric arts and jewelry creation. She is a member of the Schenectady Art Society\, Albany Artists Group\, Firehouse Painters and ArtWorks. As a studio artist\, she was an Artist in Residence at Arlene’s Artist Materials for two years\, where she is now a One-on-One Mentor for artists. She continues her explorations of the intersections between personal history and plant forms using printmaking\, painting and stitching. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Artist’s Statment:\nEach of the paintings in this show contains scraps of my life. Some are precious\, my parents’ love letters and my grandfather’s college notes\, while others are more common\, the bits of a mylar birthday balloon or a piece of paint stained paper towel I cleaned my tools with. The “canvas” of the works are playing cards\, each collaged with life pieces held together with paint. Some I have stitched together\, a skill learned from my mother\, that I find myself returning to in cycles within my creative life. The stitches are a tool I used to combine the parts of these works and “draw” with line and color.When creating this body of work\, I gave myself the challenge to limit the color palette of the backgrounds to five colors that I used in varied amounts in every piece in the show. These colors are the bridge between the bits of life collage and the final layer of flora. I chose to create images of flowers because their lifespan is short and is impacted by the environment they bloom in. There is an external beauty in flowers\, but also a beauty in the internal workings that we do not see\, allowing them to grow\, adapt and create food.  I believe that our lives and our sense of self are stitched together from the interactions and environments we have experienced and the actions we choose going forward. We are a quilt of our past and present\, the beautiful parts along with the torn and damaged. We can look for the beauty in the small moments and create change to improve our lives and that of others. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Project Localat theCaldwell-Lake George Library336 Canada StreetLake George\, NY518-668-2528\n  \nHours:Weekdays:  10:00 AM – 5:00 PMSaturdays: 10:00 AM – 2:00PM\n\n  \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/17624/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakegeorgearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Project-Local-1920-x-1080-px-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250312T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250412T170000 DTSTAMP:20260512T191527 CREATED:20250226T205404Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251003T102133Z UID:10000709-1741780800-1744477200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Ario Elami: Numinous Altars DESCRIPTION:Ario Elami:  Numinous Altars\nMarch 12 through April 12\, 2025\nArtist’s ReceptionSaturday\, March 22nd4:00 – 6:00 PM\nNuminous: Something mysterious\, supernatural\, spiritual\, awe-inspiring\, and perhaps holy.\nAltar: A table\, as in early forms of architecture\, used as the focus for a religious ritual\, often for making offerings to a deity.\n \n \n \n \n \n Bio\nArio Elami\, is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts’ MFA program through Tufts University\, a composer\, author\, and artist whose work explores architecture as the tension between human design and nature. Claiming dual citizenship as an Iranian and North American\, he has spent much of his life on the east coast and in Michigan. \nElami works exclusively on paper in an often limited palette\, with the resulting works resembling prints or bookplates. They appear to be timeless\, as if found from a remote past in a secret library. Each piece resembles the type of anthropological or archeological drawings made to document temples\, palaces\, sacrificial sites\, or necropolises found in jungles\, and not fully understood by their discoverers. Elami\, in depicting undefined architectural sites of relics or ruins\, allows us to dream of uses both sacred and profane; to explore the tension between human design and nature on the verge of reclaiming its primacy. Elami’s latest art has developed in tandem with an understanding of the earliest architecture as numinous altars\, and a perception of nature as a roiling mass of aggressive life\, perpetuating itself through overabundance. In this vision\, architecture manifested out of violent\, spiritual rituals\, externalizing what is internal. Elami sees architecture\, revitalized with its primitive and mythopoeic qualities\, as a portal back to a cosmos overflowing with meaning and mystery. \n  \n \n LEARN MORE ABOUT ARIO ELAMI'S WORK\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Images from top\nWorld Machine III\, Colored Pencil\, pen and watercolor on paperWorld Machine II\, Colored Pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paperTemple to a Fungal Spirit\, Colored pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paper\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Courthouse Gallery\n1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PMSaturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PMSundays: 12:00 – 4:00 PM (June – September)Select Sundays Monthly (October – May)\nOr give us a call if you are in town.
