Sarah George will be showing her artwork at Gallery North, 9 Eagle Street, North Adams, MA. The exhibit will accompany new work by permanent gallery artists Marilyn Cavallari, Sean McCusker, Mallory Rich, Barbara Patton, and Stephen Dankner from July 1st to July 31st. Artists will attend an opening reception Friday, July 4th from 4-7pm.
Sarah George made such a splash with her creative sculptures last month that we had to show more of them! For the first time, Gallery North is hosting an artist’s work for a second month. Come see some of our favorites and a load of new work for this exciting event.
Sarah George Artist Statement: I love the concept of creating many different species of animals using the fibers of one. What started with creating small sculptures quickly grew into life-sized hyper-realistic three-dimensional portraits. In addition to needle felting, I hand sculpt all antlers, horns, and teeth using clay and gold leaf. Each piece is a study aiming for accuracy in creating the anatomy of the face. I interrupt the realism by bringing a spectrum of colors and textures that celebrate each subject for the elegant creature that they are.
Marilyn Cavallari, founder/owner of Gallery North, lives in Williamstown. She is a contemporary landscape and seascape artist. She works on several paintings simultaneously, distributing to each canvas her choice of bright and joyful colors.
Stephen Dankner is an American composer/pianist of contemporary classical music. He is also a visual artist, with juried exhibitions of his experimental digital art, much of it taking inspiration from mathematical manipulations of both Julia and Mandelbrot fractal patterns found in nature.
Sean McCusker creates surreal landscapes filled with light and color. His work inspires hope as the characters, surrounded by a dark world, seek the light just over the horizon.
Mallory Rich, a resident of Sandgate, VT has paintings in pastels and oils with her focus on rural VT, eastern New York and coastal Maine. She studied for many years with pastel master Albert Handell. She paints small moments in the landscape often unnoticed in our busy days.
Barbara Patton’s alternatively fired ceramic work is fired quickly with a rush of flame, smoke and excitement. The fiery chaos of smoke-firing, using natural and chemical materials combined with elements of form and surface, create both fragile yet hardened objects from the earth.
Gallery North is located at 9 Eagle Street, North Adams, MA. Open Tuesday through Saturday 4-7 or by appointment (413) 663-1509. This show will be on display from July 1st to July 31st, 2025. www.gallerynorthadams.com Images available upon request.
