Estate planning is way too important to neglect. Do not trust non-attorneys or online services to handle your estate plan – the consequences may be dire. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.

Heather Gaudio Fine Art

<a href="https://www.heathergaudiofineart.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">click here to view</a>Heather Gaudio Fine Art is pleased to present Ian McKeever: Going Forth, Painted Panels &amp; Other Works, the artist’s third solo exhibition at the gallery. The show will open with an artist reception on October 10, 4-6pm, and runs through December 5th.
Ian McKeever is an acclaimed British artist whose distinguished career is marked primarily as an abstract painter. He works serially, simultaneously developing several paintings that take several years to complete.Each series is characterized with its own identity, inspired by nature, art history or culturally historic works, and all share the artist’s preoccupation with light, transparency and the bodily presence. 
The two predominant series featured in the exhibition are the new Going Forth paintings and the continuing Painted Panels which the artist began in 2012.
Following his five-year engagement with the Henge Paintings, which were preoccupied with mass and volume, the color black predominantly featured and integral in depicting density, solidity and weight, McKeever felt compelled to return his inquiry into openness, transparency, and luminosity. In the Going Forth series, McKeever re-investigates translucid lyrical abstractions, this time presented in multi-paneled canvases in a mostly white palette. A singular richly saturated color, such as field green or deep navy blue, asserts structure and balance, and emphasizes transparency by appearing dusky beneath thinly veiled layers of white. McKeever applies translucid films of acrylic and oil in a manner that implies the luminosity of light, rather than pictorially depicting it. In this way, the artist renders a nebulous, ephemeral quality to the surface, a perceptual experience he has long articulated. For McKeever, the Going Forth paintings loosely suggest passages of time. “I am yesterday, today and tomorrow”, he states, in that when he paints, he is taking the present into the painting and then returns to it in the tomorrow. “You are encapsulating the creative process going forth into the future” when you paint the following day. The horizontal format of the painting suggests a narrative, a passageway, a continuation of time. 
The Painted Panels are an ongoing series of monochromatic black or white paintings the artist began in 2012.McKeever returns to canvases he has “abandoned” or set aside when he feels they have “lost their way.” He selects the sections he deems successful and mounts the fragments onto wooden panel, reinvestigating them minimally or extensively to a level of conclusion.The canvases take on a new life from the one originally intended resulting in beautiful, elegant paintings that contrast with the warmth of the wooden panels. They still evoke his preoccupation with luminosity inherent to painting. All panels are alike in size and work well together in a grouping and equally hold their own as a single, stand-alone tableau.McKeever first exhibited this body of work as an installation of 30 at the Kunst-Station Sankt Peter in Cologne in 2014. For the artist, this ‘recycling’ series allows him to pivot from the larger scaled work providing an alternative meditative, creative channel.
Other paintings on view, the Season Addendum and “one-off” canvases, as dubbed by McKeever, depict his signature visual abstract lexicon. These latter singular paintings act as turning points, interim periods which may become the genesis and develop into a new grouping as the creative juices flow in the artist’s studio.
McKeever has had a prolific career with many solo and group exhibitions in numerous galleries and museums.His works are in many notable collections in Europe and the USA including Tate Gallery, London; British Museum, London; Royal Academy of Art, London; Museum Moderner Kunst, Wien; Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest; Arts Council of Great Britain’ The Government Art Collection; The British Council; The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art; mumok Museum Moderner Kusnt Stiftung Ludwig, Wien; Morat Institute, Freiburg; Schloss Morsbroich, Leverkusen; Kunsthalle Nuremberg, Kunsthalle Kiel; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark; Glyptotek, Copenhagen; Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinski; New Carlsberg Foundation, Copenhagen; Horsens Kunstmuseum; Nordic Aquarell Museum, Sweden; Kiasma, Helsinki; Metropolitan Museum, New York; Yale Center for British Art; Boston Museum of Fine Art; Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York; MIT List Visual Arts Center, Boston; and Cincinnati Museum of Modern Art.<a href="https://https:www.heathergaudiofineart.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">click here to view</a>

“Why Are Women So Hard On Themselves?” Are you tired of beating yourself up? Most women assume that harsh inner voice is just part of who they are. It isn't. As Dr. Holmberg explains, it's a deeply rooted survival mechanism that can be changed. In Unkind Mind, she offers a science-based path to quiet your inner critic, silence negativity, stop constant comparison, and replace self-criticism with confidence, courage, and self-compassion.
$30 includes talk, book, wine &amp; charcuterie.

The Harrison Players present Del Shores’ outrageous Southern comedy Sordid Lives, October 22–25 at 210 Halstead Avenue in Harrison, NY. Set in a small Texas town, this cult-favorite comedy follows a wonderfully dysfunctional family whose secrets, scandals and eccentricities come hilariously—and sometimes tenderly—to the surface.
“Sordid Lives is outrageous, funny and completely unapologetic, but underneath all of the laughs is a story about family, acceptance and the complicated ways we love one another,” says director Anthony Valbiro.
Performances are 8 p.m. Thursday, October 22; Friday, October 23; and Saturday, October 24, with 2 p.m. matinees Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25.

<a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/signature-learning-community/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Signature Learning Community at Sarah Lawrence College</a> is thrilled to present Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, novelist, and memoirist <a href="https://annaquindlen.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Anna Quindlen</a> in a lively and inspiring conversation about midlife and the chapters it brings. Part of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/news-events/slc100/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SLC100: The 2026–2027 Presidential Event Series</a>, the event will bring Quindlen together with President Cristle Collins Judd to consider the joys, challenges, and opportunities of midlife and beyond.
As Sarah Lawrence celebrates its centennial and looks toward its second century, the evening will also mark the launch of the College’s new <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/lifelong-learning/center-for-midlife-and-meaning.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Center for Midlife and Meaning</a>, the latest expression of the College’s enduring belief that education is a <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/lifelong-learning/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lifelong</a> process of discovery, growth, and transformation. Bringing the liberal arts into conversation with the lived experience of adults navigating change, the Center will offer opportunities for learning, reflection, conversation, and creative discovery. Whether work is shifting, children are leaving home, caregiving responsibilities are growing, retirement is approaching, or long-held interests are calling for renewed attention, the Center will provide a place to consider what is changing, what matters now, and what might come next.
Drawing on her works including the novels More Than Enough and Still Life with Bread Crumbs, memoirs and reflections Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake and A Short Guide to a Happy Life, and the non-fiction call to action Write for Your Life, Quindlen will bring her characteristic wit, warmth, and insight to the questions at the heart of the new Center: How do we understand ourselves as our roles and responsibilities change? What gives life meaning now? And what new possibilities might emerge in the chapters still ahead?
Members of the in-person audience will have the opportunity to engage with Anna Quindlen in a question-and-answer session, with priority given to members of the <a href="https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/signature-learning-community/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Signature Learning Community</a>. A book signing and reception will follow. Select books will be available for purchase, provided by Periwinkle Books in Bronxville.
