“Connections” A Group of Three”
Chizuko Donovan, Jan Filarski and Susan Kwolek
July 7 th – September 4 th
Artists’ Reception – Wednesday, July 9th 6-8 pm
Brief Gallery Talks at 7pm
From organic robots to abstracted acrylic landscapes to portraiture, this ‘Group of Three’ painters all use water media, such as watercolors and acrylics, in unique ways. In the portrait series, the painting is combined with collage and line work to give further expression, character and depth to each subject. Science is the springboard for the organic robot series and you can learn more about these and the faceted landscape paintings, at the reception and during the artist’s talks.

Marat layers and remixes everyday objects, found objects (a satellite dish, computer parts, a furnace filter etc.) with pieces of wood, metals, resins and paint to create 3-d pieces that are unexpected and fascinating due to his disassembling/reassembling process. He will also be exhibiting his “Fourteen Industrialists” series based around important individuals within the Industrial Music genre, as well as other works of assemblage and mixed media.
Paula Zaks
Figurative Works in Gouache, Encaustic & Cyanotype
November 3 rd – December 23 rd
Artists’ Reception – Monday, November 3rd 6-8 pm

The gallery will be exhibiting the works of local artist, Paula Zaks, with a focus on her varying interpretations of heads and figures. Whether she is working in encaustic (wax), gouache (opaque watercolor) or cyanotype (a photographic process using the sun for exposing the image) the figurative pieces provide illusions of depth due to her color layering and added collage.
