Gardiner Gallery

Doreen Fairley's goal is to depict the beauty, serenity and mystery of the natural world. Having spent her early years in the northeast, it is that scenery that most occupies her consciousness.   Her watercolors are of those rocky shores, quiet harbors, stately evergreens, startling white birches and the simple farms.

July 3—August 15
New Gallery on the 2nd floor 

This exhibition explores the vitality of an artist and her work. Vital means more than essential. A cancer survivor, Felicia Monticelli finds vitality in art. With it, she creates fantastical masks, sculptures and paintings embellished with fur, beads, wire and natural objects, giving her pieces life.

 August 21-October 10

Hall Gallery

The exhibit showcases the hidden, yet striking, beauty of yesteryear’s vehicles, which sit abandoned and rusting in backyards, behind body shops, in forests and fields, and in junk yards. The images display the vehicles' exquisite shapes, lines
  forms, colors, and incongruities, as seen from a different and new perspective.
