We open today with two featured artists, Rebecca Mannheimer and Sarah Sedwick, May 4 - 28, 2022

Rebecca’s work is about narrative, which comes from exploration of her personal history, “I am influenced by my surroundings and it filters into my imagery. I take that experience of the landscape and how it changes from day to day along with the light that is altered with each new season and combine it with an array of other elements that come with me when I sit down to paint. I would describe my work as an internal landscape. I use symbols and metaphors that have a personal meaning, that tell a story or have a reference to what the pieces are about. Objects often float as if in a dream state; they get pushed and pulled in and out of the field of color in which they sit. Edges appear and disappear, get defined and shift as the pieces evolve.”

Sarah’s work focuses mainly on still life and portraiture, “I am an oil painter whose still lifes celebrate the beauty of the everyday, inspired by color combinations and dynamic composition. My paintings explore the undercurrents of meaning we impart to the objects around us - whether through a system of personal emotional symbolism or a buildup of familiarity over time.”
