They give a sense of calm\, of peace. The opening reception will be Friday March 29\, 2024 from 6-8pm. The show will be on display at the Sherman Library from March 29 – May 8\, 2024 both at the Library and on their website\, www.ShermanLibrary.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 warmth\, peace and happiness in their heart.” Says Leichter. \n\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.  Currently she is working part time\, being fully retired at the end of the year.  In 2022\, post-surgery\, needing to find a diversion from the pain and discomfort\, she turned to her past love of watercolor painting.  Just as she had taught herself database and IT technology\, she 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.  What a wonderful way to celebrate her first solo show by paying tribute to water and its calming and peaceful ways. \n\nFor more information about this show and the Sherman Library\, visit:  www.shermanlibrary.org.

Stasiak’s belief is that digital applications are specialized tools that can expand the creative range and perception of the artist in an intuitive\, beneficial manner. \nThe opening reception is Saturday\, March 2\, from 5 – 7pm. \nStasiak is giving an artist talk on Sunday\, March 24\, from 3 – 5pm. \nThe show is from March 1 – 31. \n For more information\, visit www.landgalleryonline.com or www.ShermanArtsts.org. \n“Photography is a revealing art. I rely on emotion and expertise to recognize an image\, and skill\, taste\, and judgment to reveal an energetically attractive interpretation\,” says Stasiak.   Much like jazz improvisation\, his work evolves in stages that focus on and intensify his emotional connection with the emerging image. There is always a blend of conscious decisions with mindful guidance. He wants the viewer to perceive new context\, new color\, new structure\, new projections\, and new feelings–and improvise with their own mind’s eye. \nStasiak is an award-winning photographic artist\, musician\, and printing arts professional living in New Milford\, CT. His photography spans documentary\, creative\, travel\, and constructed imaging\, using film since 1965\, digital since 1995\, and fully digital since 2002. He has taught photographers and artists how digital tools affect the photographic process\, how traditional skills can translate from the physical to the metaphysical\, and how to optimize images to best utilize the technical considerations inherent in producing digital art. \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 in the heart of the Village of Pawling and regularly organizes photography workshops\, walks\, and other artistic events. Please 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). \nFor more information about the Sherman Artists Association\, visit www.ShermanArtists.org.
