Westerly Library Hoxie Gallery Opening

Landscape
artist Ida Schmulowitz will be showing
work from an
ongoing series of landscapes painted outside on a large scale (72”x 96”) from
two locations in Providence, the pedestrian bridge at the end of East Street,
and behind the Vartan Gregorian Elementary School.

The
artist has painted landscapes outside from a pedestrian bridge overlooking a
highway since 1983. She states that she feels a very strong bond to this
particular place (India Point), and has felt compelled to record it year after
year in all seasons and times of the day. Changes in the landscape itself, or
shifting her vantage point just slightly, are the catalysts for creating a new
series.

 Ida Schmulowitz received a BFA from RISD. She
has exhibited locally and nationally, including solo shows in RI at the Newport
Art Museum, Bannister Gallery at RIC, Hunt Cavanagh Gallery at PC, Atrium
Gallery at the State Administration Building, and The Warwick Art Museum. She
has also had a one person show at Hammond Harkins Galleries in Bexley, Ohio,
and at the Society for Preservation of NH Forests in Concord, NH, as part of
the MacDowell Colony 100th Year Celebration. Awards include a
MacDowell Colony Fellowship and a residency at Weir Farm in Wilton Ct.

Programs at the library are free, open to the
public, and handicapped accessible.
