SUMMARY:“Lions And Tigers And Bears: Oh My!” – Photographs by Susan Locke
DESCRIPTION:“Lions And Tigers And Bears: Oh My!” – Photographs by Susan Locke @ The Sherman Library \nJuly 26 –  September 4\, 2024 \nOpening Reception Friday\, July 26\, 2024 6 – 8pm \n  \nThe Sherman Library \n1 Sherman Center \nPO Box 40 \nSherman\, Ct 06784 \n860-354-2455 \nwww.ShermanLibrary.org \nOpen Tues\, Wed & Friday 11 – 6\, Thursday 11-7\, Sat 10-4 \nThe Sherman Library is pleased to announce the next art show: “Lions And Tigers And Bears: Oh My!” – Photographs by Susan Locke.  Travelling around the world with her camera\, Locke has captured incredible images of the animal kingdom.  The expressions\, movement and detail in the photographs bring the personalities of her subjects alive for us to enjoy.  The opening reception will be Friday July 26\, 2024 from 6-8pm. The show will be on display at the Sherman Library from July 26 – September 4\, 2024 both at the Library and on their website\, www.ShermanLibrary.org. \n“Given my busy professional life as a Psychology Professor at Baruch College CUNY\, photography has always been a means of self-expression and relaxation” says Locke.  Her combined interest in photography and nature began virtually simultaneously.    When she was 8 years old\, her dad gave her a Kodak Duaflex II camera.  It accompanied her during summers spent at Girl Scout camp.  Since then\, photography has been the primary medium through which she has explored the world.  She has participated in several workshops in United States national parks and forests [Yellowstone\, Glacier\, Yosemite\, The Grand Tetons\, Denali\, Arches\, Canyonlands\, among others] and abroad [England\, France\, Italy\, Scotland\, Iceland\, Norway\, Ireland\, Switzerland\, New Zealand\, and several African countries].  Among her favorite portrait photos are those taken while she worked with the Peace Corps in Senegal\, West Africa. \nNow Locke’s retirement has enabled her to go from weekender status to living full-time in beautiful\, bucolic Sherman.  “It is impossible to live here without being inspired to photograph its landscapes\, flora\, and backyard wildlife every day” says Locke.  Having survived and appreciated the transition from film photography to the digital age\, she now enjoys the iPhone and a myriad of creative apps and recently gave a workshop about them sponsored by the Great Hollow Photographers Club.  She is also an active member of the Sherman Artists Association. \nFor more information about this show and the Sherman Library\, visit:  www.shermanlibrary.org. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Icelandic Ponies\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Alpaca\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Baby Bobcat\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Tiger\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Black Bear \n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Racoon

SUMMARY:“Ways of Water” - Watercolors by Charlene Leichter
DESCRIPTION:“Ways of Water” – Watercolors by Charlene Leichter @ LAND Gallery in Pawling\, NY \nAugust 1 – 31\, 2024 \nArtist Reception Saturday August 3\,  3 – 5 pm \n\nLAND Gallery \n30 Charles Colman Blvd \nPawling\, NY 12564 \n845-490-2281 \nHours: Thursday 10-4\, Friday 10-6\, Saturday 10-3 and Sunday 11-2 or by appointment \nWebsite: www.landgalleryonline.com \n\nLAND Gallery in Pawling\, New York and the Sherman Artists Association are pleased to announce a new show “Ways of Water” – Watercolors by Charlene Leichter.  With water as the focal point\, Leichter’s paintings capture nature’s colors\, moods and beauty. They give a sense of calm\, of peace. The opening reception is Saturday\, August 3\, 3-5 pm.   The show is from August 1 – 31\, 2024.   For more information\, visit www.landgalleryonline.com or www.ShermanArtists.org. \n\n“When I look at a finished painting\,  I want to feel peace and comfort\, then I know it’s ready to provide the same to others.  I want my work to make someone feel calm\, peace and happiness in their heart.” Says Leichter. \nIn 2022\, post-surgery\, needing to find a diversion from the pain and discomfort\, she turned to her past love of watercolor painting and began to teach herself how to paint.  Not having done any drawing or painting since high school\, she started watching YouTube videos of drawing\, perspective and watercolor tutorials for hours on end.  Luckily\, in her house there were art supplies in storage containers that she opened and dusted off.  Followed by practice\, practice\, practice!  Trying and testing different techniques and eventually finding her own style. Through this came a love of landscapes\, especially with water as a focal point. No surprise here\, as she grew up on Long Island’s great South Bay and was no stranger to the ways of water and how peaceful yet powerful it can be. \nA native New Yorker\, Leichter now resides in Sherman CT. She has a BA in Economics from Stony Brook and a career in Information Technology as a developer and database administrator.  She had taught herself database and IT technology\, just as she taught herself watercolors.  Currently she is working part time\, being fully retired at the end of the year.  Leichter is Vice President of the Sherman Artists Association. \nThe Sherman Artists Association is sponsoring the Featured Artist Shows at LAND Gallery which includes the work of some of the most highly regarded photographers and painters in the local area. There is also a curated artisanal gift shop that sells a selection of locally handmade fine art and gifts. The Gallery is located in the heart of the Village of Pawling and does photography workshops\, walks and other artistic events. Find us at: 30 Charles Colman Blvd\, Pawling\, New York 12564. (Right across the street from the Pawling stop on the Metro North Harlem line). \n\nFor more information about the Sherman Artists Association\, visit www.ShermanArtists.org.
