Carol Retsch-Bogart

A recent visit to Japan has inspired Carol’s encaustic wax, mixed media and printmaking work. She reacts to Japanese woodblock prints, graphic illustrations, amazing textiles of indigo, and floral silks. Carol’s own work is bold and colorful with a strong connection to nature and an emphasis on the simplicity and beauty of ordinary objects.

Nerys Levy

Nerys’ work is inspired by her summer travel sketches in Great Britain and northern Italy. She then captures the energy of those sketches in paintings with bold lines and strong colors. The works in this exhibit show how, with simplicity of form and line, Nerys effortlessly conveys the mood and dimensionality of place.

Linda Prager

Reacting to complexity in the world, Linda presents us rounded, simplified clay forms that bring a sense of quiet. These pieces abstractly speak of trees, sky, and birds. It is definitely Linda’s most painterly series of work. The painted surfaces show her expressive brushstrokes as color layers with color.

More Info and Work

Leif Gann-Matzen

Leif carves wooden sculptures from trees felled a stone’s throw from the Eno River. In the process of carving, he works not to impose but to follow. The long, flowing forms of Leif’s pieces present his memories of tree and river in solid beauty.

Pete Sack

This is the first time these pieces by Pete have hung together on exhibit. They represent his figurative and abstract works expressing both an internal reflection of personal experiences and external observations of the ways in which we engage with others.
