SUMMARY:Story Time: Children and Young Adult Authors and Illustrators
DESCRIPTION:Featuring the work of Bruce Hiscock\, Marika McCoola\, and Jennifer Sattler \n \nOpening 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. \nBruce 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. \nMarika 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. \nJennifer 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.  You can learn more about her and her work at jennifersattlerbooks.com. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs\, Adirondack Studios\, Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.

SUMMARY:Electron │ Photon
DESCRIPTION:September 23 – October 27\, 2017  \n3 Photographers’ Unique Approach to Image-Making – Dee Breger\, Suran Song and Eleanor Sweeney \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 23\, 4 – 6 pm \nThis event is FREE and open to the public. \nGallery Hours: Tues – Fri 12 – 5 pm\, Sat 12 – 4 pm \nRead: Albany Times Union Review Here \nDee Breger \nEleanor Sweeney \nSuran Song \nDee 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.” \nDee 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. \nSanskrit 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.” \nSuran 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. \nPhotographer 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.” \nEleanor 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. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by The Community Exchange Foundation\, Adirondack Studios and the New York State Council on The Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The Courthouse Gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesday through Friday 12 – 5 pm\, Saturday 12 – 4 pm\, and all other times by appointment. The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse\, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets\, Lake George\, NY.
