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.” \nJosh 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. \n  \nMatt Chinian\n \nMatt 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.” \nMatt 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. \n\nKellyann Monaghan \n \nKellyann 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.” \nKellyann 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. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred 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.

She began her recording career in 1963 with the Even Dozen Jug Band and shortly thereafter\, joining the very popular Jim Kweskin Jug Band\, touring and recording with them throughout the 60s. In 2011 Maria released Steady Love\, a contemporary electric Blues album that reflects the kind of music she loves to perform live – what she calls “Bluesiana Music” – her own brand of New Orleans-flavored Blues\, R&B and “Swamp Funk.” URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/summer-concert-series-maria-muldaur-sings-the-blues-3/ LOCATION:Shepard Park\, Canada Street\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Summer Concert Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190724T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190724T203000 DTSTAMP:20260416T040103 CREATED:20190527T182537Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190527T182537Z UID:8029-1563994800-1564000200@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Summer Concert: Huntertones – Hipsters w/ Horns DESCRIPTION:Huntertones brings people together around the globe with fun\, imaginative and fearless music.

This is a predictably unpredictable group\, delightful\, unusual\, and thoroughly enjoyable. \nSome of the best blues you’re likely to hear this side of 1925. Hugh and John don’t just rehash classics from the blues greats\, they recreate them as their own\, and write originals that fit in seamlessly with that repertoire. The real deal. – JEFF RASPE\, Music Wizard WBJB-FM; 90.5 \n  \nMatt Mirabile\n\nFrom sweet and soulful to full on jam Matt Mirabile has it covered. Deeply rooted in Blues\, Soul\, R&B\, and Funk\, he began performing at age twelve and quickly went from a being a young novelty player to being a serious threat on the guitar.

He has shared the stage with blues greats such as\, Buddy Guy\, James Cotton\, Lurrie Bell and Kenny Neal. Mirabile plays with a tone and feeling well beyond his years and keeps his audience wanting more.

Gaudet’s unique percussive rhythms become the perfect springboard for his voice to follow and his melodies are downright infectious. It’s typical during any live performance to see the band’s fans shouting right along on favorites like “So Far So Good.” Gaudet has assembled a strong cast of characters in the Railroad Boys. \nIndividually the Railroad Boys are Jim Gaudet on guitar and vocals\, Bobby Ristau on bass and vocals\, Sten Isachsen on mandolin and vocals\, and Mat Kane on fiddle.

Intricate but free-swinging\, explosive yet intimate\, fresh and green as grass. Taking cues from the dance bands of western Louisiana (and his native Midwest)\, the streets of New Orleans\, touring African and Caribbean combos and the soul\, funk & blues of his youth\, Cebar is a masterful synthesist of rhythmic culture. \nTomorrow Sound are an elite crew of offhand adepts who bring plenty of their own wood to the fire. Drummer Reggie Bordeaux casts his nets with a mystifying subtlety bringing his own fleet-footed refinement and grease. Multi-instrumentalist Bob Jennings\, lends his bandleader the luxury of implying a much larger ensemble with his multi-hued contributions on keys and reeds. Bassist Mike Fredrickson (a distinguished singer-songwriter in his own right) anchors and prods with the best of them.

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.” \nSeven 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. \n\nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z.

He has recorded and performed internationally with the who’s who in jazz including Ron Carter\, Ben Riley\, Abdullah Ibrahim\, Eric Reed\, Carl Allen\, Al Foster\, Billy Hart\, Eddie Henderson\, Rufus Reid\, Wallace Roney and Herbie Hancock. \nWayne Escoffery Quartet:\nWayne Escoffery – Saxophone\nDavid Kikoski – Piano\nUgonna Okegwo – Bass\nRalph Peterson – Drums \n  \nChano Domínguez – Piano Ibérico: Sat 4:30pm\n \nFor over 40 years\, internationally acclaimed jazz pianist Chano Domínguez has integrated the rhythms and languages of jazz and flamenco\, placing him among the most influential musicians in the history of flamenco-jazz. \nHe has released over 20 albums as a bandleader\, and has collaborated extensively with other jazz artists including Paquito D’Rivera\, Gonzalo Rubalcaba\, Joe Lovano\, Chucho Valdes\, Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. \nPiano Ibérico features Chano’s trio of piano\, bass and percussion augmented by flamenco singer Ismael Fernandez and flamenco dancer Sonia Olla. \nThis performance of Chano Domínguez’s Piano Ibérico has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America’s 2017 New Jazz\nWorks program funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. \nChano Domínguez – Piano Ibérico:\nChano Domínguez – Piano\nSonia Olla – Dance\nIsmael Fernandez – Vocals\nAlexis Cuadrado – Bass\nJose Moreno – Percussion \n\n\nNate Smith + KINFOLK: Sat 7:30pm\n \nSince moving from Chesapeake\, Virginia to New York City in 2001\, Nate Smith has helped reinvigorate the international jazz scene with his visceral style of drumming by playing with such esteemed leading lights as guitarist Pat Metheny\, bassist Dave Holland\, saxophonists Chris\nPotter and Ravi Coltrane\, and singers Patricia Barber\, Somi\, and José James. \nThe New York Times described Smith as “a firecracker of a drummer.” Smith’s rising career reaches a new benchmark with the release of his bandleader debut\, KINFOLK: Postcards from Everywhere\, on which he fuses his original modern jazz compositions with R&B\, pop\, and hip-hop. \nNate Smith + KINFOLK:\nNate Smith – drums\nJon Cowherd – piano\nFima Ephron – bass\nJaleel Shaw – sax\nAmma Whatt – vocals\nBrad Allen Williams – guitar\n  \nJohn Ellis & Double-Wide: Sun 1pm\n \nGifted\, versatile saxophonist/clarinetist/composer John Ellis occupies an imaginary (and extremely imaginative) space directly between the celebratory\, welcoming spirit of New Orleans and the edgy\, frantic streets of New York City. Ellis expresses a keen intellect and easy\nvirtuosity while maintaining a mischievous gleam in his eye and never letting tongue stray far from cheek. That dichotomy perfectly encapsulates his group Double-Wide’s split metropolitan personality\, with a chainsaw-juggling balance of bayou brass\, raucous gospel\, and devil-may-care modern jazz. \nJohn Ellis & Double Wide:\nJohn Ellis – Saxophone\nMatt Perrine – Sousaphone\nAlan Ferber – Trombone\nGary Versace – Organ and accordion\nJason Marsalis – Drums \n  \nNicole Zuraitis: Sun 2:45pm\n \nGrammy-nominated vocalist\, pianist and songwriter\, Nicole Zuraitis blends clever songwriting skills\, an effervescent presence and dazzling vocals in a consummate package that has thrilled audiences around the world.

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.  \nRagsdale 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.”   \nKen 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. \nExhibition reviews online:Albany Times UnionGet Visual \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Alfred Z.

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.  \nin a blue time contains three distinct bodies of Baker’s work — each answering a unique question\, but all working in tandem.  \nA 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.  \nExodus from Mirth (a requiem for Sara Burdock) sees Baker returning to his interest in introducing more chance into the photographic process and color.  \n“Frodo’s Ghost XVII” Archival inkjet print\, 2019 \nFrodo’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. \nJustin 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. \n  \nThe 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. \nthank you to our sponsors:\n     URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/justin-baker-3/ LOCATION:Courthouse Gallery\, 1 Amherst St\, Lake George\, NY\, 12845\, United States CATEGORIES:Courthouse Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200307 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200411 DTSTAMP:20260416T040103 CREATED:20190605T161002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190605T161002Z UID:8036-1583539200-1586563199@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:Katherine Chwazik DESCRIPTION:Opening reception March 7\, 4 – 6pm. \nIn compliance with the public health recommendations and mandates\, the Courthouse Gallery will be closed through the month of March. Please stay tuned for updates.\nPlease Click HERE to view a brief slideshow of Katherine’s exhibition at the Courthouse Gallery\, or view same photos below. \n\nThrough 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. \nWhile 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.” \nOne 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.” \nKatherine 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. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George; the Alfred Z.

We will reassess the situation as restrictions are eventually lifted\, possibly allowing for pre-scheduled gallery visits for individuals\, or very small groups. \nLee Malerich\, “Disguise”. Recycled wooden chairs\, 29 x 18 x 19 inches. \nAbout the Artists:\nBoth 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. \nLee 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?” \nLee 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. \nMichael Van Winkle\, “In the Wet with Shards”\, acrylic on canvas\, 46 x 30 inches. \nMichael 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.” \nMichael 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.

The importance of sharing these photographs has been a dedicated undertaking\, as the prevalence of excess algae in Lake George is not a given\, but an anomaly for this type of lake.  It is a fact that algae naturally occur in all waterbodies\, but excessive algae growth does indicate a problem\, and we should be concerned. \n\nKathy sent us this statement about her research: \nCan we SAVE the QUEEN of American Lakes? \nLake George is an oligotrophic lake\, defined as a waterbody with clear\, deep water and little organic productivity (minimal plants and algae growth). \nLake George was classified in the 1940’s as Class AA-Special (AA-S)fresh surface water.  Five lakes in New York State have this AA-S designation\, indicating best usage as a source of drinking water\, swimming\,recreationand fishing. This ‘best use’ classification determines water quality standards that specify a maximum amount of a pollutant that can be present in a waterbody.  No reclassification of water quality has occurred since. \nBut what has changed?   Should we be concerned? \nLand use and development surrounding Lake George is causing what you see in these photos\, excessive algae growth.  Arapid increase in a population of algae (phytoplankton present in water) is defined as an algal bloom\, which should not be visible in an oligotrophic lake. \nA waterbody naturally ages over thousands of years.  Accelerated aging (what we are witnessing in Lake George within our lifetime)\, is a consequence of land use and development decisions.  These choices have increased water quality degradation and possible changes in lake classification\, from oligotrophic to mesotrophic (or eutrophic\, which is characterized by high nutrient loads that cause a significant increase in plant and algae growth\, as well as reduced water clarity and oxygen depletion).  ‘Cultural eutrophication’ is a term used to define an expedited aging of a waterbody caused by human activity. \nAre the algal blooms that have been documented in Lake George the ‘Canary in the Coal Mine’that demands our immediate attention?  How can we not recognize that the water quality changes that we are witnessing are so obvious?  That alone should prompt actionto preserve this nationally recognized resource that we are privileged to enjoy\, in all its capacity. \nThe nutrients and pollutants that are impacting Lake George’s water quality flow into the lake from unmanaged stormwater\, inadequately treated wastewater (which includes onsite septic systems and municipal wastewater treatment plants)\, fertilizer and pesticide use\, winter road salt and other pollutants within the watershed.  With the changes in the Lake’s water quality that we have all witnessed within the past 20+ years\, we can only hope that municipalities and towns within the Lake George Park begin to make changes in their regulations and enforcement.  In addition to municipal responsibility\, residents\, businesses (including motels)\, lake visitors and guests must act on the importance of conscientious lake preservation. \nMicroscopic analysis of the algae sampled from the lake within the past 10 years has identified many varieties of algae genus\, including algae that grows in sewage treatment plants.  The awareness of the genus of algae present in Lake George that identify ‘probable organic pollution’ indicates that there are outdated\, poorly designed and/or failing septic systems on the lands surrounding the lake.  This needs to be addressed. \nIt’s up to you… \nPreserving Lake George water quality is certainly more important than a green\, weed free lawn; an unobstructed view of the lake if it means that all trees and vegetation are removed from the property and shoreline for that view; and living with an antiquated\, poorly designed\, inadequately maintained or failing septic system.

The exhibition runs through August 14\, 2020. \nFor updates on our gallery hours please call 518-668-2616\, ​or ​email laura@lakegeorgarts.org. \nIn place of an on-site gallery reception\, LGAP hosted a Live Talk with Jenny Kemp​ ​on July 11th\,  recorded HERE. \nShelter\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \nWadding\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \n\nJenny 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. \nShe 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.” \nWhirlwind\, gouache\, 15 x 11 inches\, 2020. \nJenny 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. \nView a Checklist of works in the exhibition.\nView Jenny Kemp’s video animation “In or Out.”\nView a brief slideshow of Jenny Kemp works at LGAP.\nView Jenny Kemp Statement.\nView Jenny Kemp Resume.\nView LGAP’s  Talk with Jenny Kemp on July 11\, 2020.\nView a Short video of Jenny Kemp from PBS’s AHA!

DESCRIPTION:This coming September we are planing a series of 4 hybrid online events combining performances and discussions with a number of Amazing Jazz musicians!\nThe Lake George Arts Project is deeply committed to bringing people together to hear and see great music. Our Jazz at the Lake program isn’t just one of our favorite events\, the magic of this weekend of concerts is created by having amazing musicians perform with one of the most beautiful lakes in the country as the backdrop. Even if we were able to present in a traditional sense this year\, it just wouldn’t be the same. Keeping artists\, the audience\, staff\, and volunteers safe is our top priority and is a responsibility we take seriously. Through many conversations\, and with the input of artists\, stakeholders and the audience\, the Lake George Arts Project Staff and Board of Directors have made the unprecedented decision to cancel our traditional Jazz at the Lake program for this year.  We are instead presenting a series of virtual events we are calling Jazz at the Lake Reimagined that will stream renown Jazz musicians straight to your living room. \nMark your Calendars! \nJazz at the Lake Reimagined Virtual Series:\nThursday\, September 3 at 7pm: Nicole Zuraitis & Dan Pugach\nThursday\, September 10 at 7pm: Frederick Johnson & Michael Ross\nThursday\, September 17 at 7pm: Dan Tepfer\nThursday\, September 24\, at 7pm: Sarah Elizabeth Charles \nOur Jazz at the Lake Reimagined program brings amazing Jazz musicians together for a series of 4 hybrid events that combine performances\, a discussion with the artists and time to ask your favorite musician the questions you’ve been eager to have answered.  All four events will be streamed via Facebook\, YouTube and on The Lake George Arts Project website. Visit our Jazz At The Lake page to learn more about the program\, or join our mailing list (at the bottom of the page). \n  \n   \nthank you to our sponsors:\n   \n     \n  URL:https://lakegeorgearts.org/event/jazz-at-the-lake-2020-3/ LOCATION:lake george arts project\, 1 Amherst Street\, Lake George\, 12845 CATEGORIES:Jazz Weekend ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200926 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201031 DTSTAMP:20260416T040103 CREATED:20190606T155534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190606T155534Z UID:8040-1601078400-1604102399@lakegeorgearts.org SUMMARY:D.

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. \nHe 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.” \nRe-Encounter\, acrylic on canvas\, 24 x 18 inches. \nJack 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. His works can be found in many public collections\, including the Albany Institute of History and Art\, Albany\, NY; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts\, Richmond\, VA; and Long Beach Museum of Art\, Long Beach\, CA. His awards include grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation; Rensselaer County Council for the Arts; Change\, Inc; and a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist Grant. Solomon has taught at many colleges and universities\, including Virginia Commonwealth University\, Richmond\, VA; Brooklyn Museum School of Art\, Brooklyn\, NY; SUNY Purchase\, Purchase\, NY; SUNY New Paltz\, New Paltz\, NY; and 29 years at Parsons School of Design in New York\, City\, retiring in 2011.

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. \nHe 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.” \nReferring 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.” \nSteve 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. \nThe 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. \nPlease NOTE: Regular Gallery hours may change due to the COVID-19 health emergency.  For updates please call 518-668-2616\, ​or ​email laura@lakegeorgarts.org\, or visit www.lakegeorgearts.org. \nThis exhibition is funded in part by the Town and Village of Lake George; the Alfred Z.

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. \nShe 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.” \n“Saving the planet’s biodiversity – one turtle at a time – Schroon Lake\, NY”\, oil on wood panel\, 16 x 11 inches\, 2020. \nSusan 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 work recently featured in solo shows at Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts\, Blue Mountain Lake\, NY\, Southern Vermont Arts Center\, Manchester\, VT\, Strand Center for the Arts\, Plattsburgh\, NY\, and group shows at Emerge Gallery\, Saugerties\, NY\, Albany Institute of History & Art\, Albany\, NY\, The Shirt Factory\, Glens Falls\, NY\,  Butzel Gallery\, Schenectady\, NY\,  and Saratoga Arts\, Saratoga Springs\, NY. 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.
