'Recent Works' Exhibit at Pound Ridge Art Guild through Dec. 13

The following announcement is from the Pound Ridge Art Guild:

The Pound Ridge Art Guild is pleased to announce their exhibition, “Recent Works,” at the Pound Ridge Library, 271 Westchester Ave., Pound Ridge, NY. The exhibit has been on display since October 14, 2014 and will continue through December 13th.

The Pound Ridge Art Guild is a local group comprised of talented artists who live and work in Pound Ridge or its environs. While its members show elsewhere individually, we are pleased to show as a group at the Library every two years. The work in the current show consists of artwork in a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, watercolor and mixed media. Aritsts showing in this year’s exhibition include: Susan Cox, Doc Dochterman, Stan Eisenman, Jim Felice, Michele Gage, Julia Goldberg, Susan Grissom, April Herbert, Diane Hunt, Jane Ingram, Gail Jankus, Norman Jensen, Linda Kuehne, Marty Kremer, Kris Landau, Curtis Lew, Karen Neems, Ethel Renek, Donna Simons, and Lisl Steiner.

April Herbert, long-time Pound Ridge resident, founding member of the group and current co-President, is a sculptor and photographer who most recently has concentrated on using digital photography to express herself. Stan Eisenman says, “As an artist I use abstract shapes, lines, colors, weight, etc. to create a work of art. If I am successful the result is a work of art that is as pleasing to the eye as music is to the ear.” Kris Landau is a painter and art teacher in a local school. There are several photographers in the group: Gail Jankus, Pound Ridge Conservation Board chair, is also a professional botanical photographer; Donna Simons, a professional graphic designer with her own business, deals with the complex health, environmental and ethical issues surrounding commercial farming in her artwork; Karen Neems shows her beautiful abstract, layered photographs extensively. Other photographers include Linda Kuehne, Curtis Lew and Norman Jensen. Michele Gage, co-president of the group, is an accomplished watercolorist who is deeply influenced by the landscape of Pound Ridge as well as other landscapes all over the world. Marty Kremer and Susan Cox are well-regarded glass artists. Lisl Steiner, world-renowned installation artist and photographer, always uses the same space in the library to create her own unique installation to express her various visions. This year she is making a tribute to quintessential long -time Pound Ridge resident, Carl Breuninger, who died in 2012. Julia Goldberg, Susan Grissom, Diane Hunt and Ethel Renek are among the painters in the group. Sculptors in the group include Jim Felice and Doc Dochterman. Jane Ingram is a highly accomplished print maker with an extensive history of showing her work in this area.

The Guild is a place for local artists to interact socially while encouraging each other in a supportive setting. We are happy to welcome new members.
