Mixing It Up:
A Celebration of Mixed Media
Deanna Jacome, Anthony Surratt and Lee Williams
Opening Reception: Friday, July 10th • 5 to 7 PM
On view through September 4, 2026
Please join us for an Artists’ Talk on Sunday, Aug. 9 at 2 PM
Featuring handmade earth-pigment oil paintings with fibers and natural materials, Deanna Jacome creates atmospheric, layered landscapes rooted in the natural world. Anthony Surratt explores abstraction through paper, ephemera, and assemblage, building richly textured compositions. In contrast, Lee Williams constructs colorful, whimsical sculptures using wood, steel, concrete, rope, and an array of found materials.
Mixing It Up brings together mixed-media works by these New England artists whose practices, while materially distinct, are compellingly complementary. Spanning a wide range of subjects and techniques, the exhibition reveals a shared commitment to process, material exploration, and layered storytelling. Themes of loss and discovery, decay and rebirth, accumulation and sustainability emerge through their diverse approaches, creating a dynamic dialogue across forms.
Free and open to the public.
Two in the Wild:
A Plein Air Journey
Rebecca M. Fullerton & Jessica Fligg
Opening Reception: Friday, Sept. 18th • 5 to 7 PM
On view through November 6, 2026
Please join us for an Artists’ Talk on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 2 PM
A visual journey through all four seasons, this exhibition highlights the practice of plein air painting. The show primarily features small- to medium-sized oil paintings created outdoors, capturing moments directly from observation.
Select works by each artist expand on these studies, evolving into larger studio paintings. The small plein air pieces will be displayed alongside their larger counterparts, offering insight into the artistic process and revealing how an idea develops beyond a single painting.
In addition to the artwork, the exhibition will include images of the artists themselves, providing a more personal connection to the work and its makers.
Free and open to the public.
