As a little girl\, Li began her fascination with cameras\, rare commodities in China. Nevertheless\, after years of saving\, she succeeded and was able to travel and photograph the exotic lands of China during college breaks. Li earned a bachelor’s degree in radar engineering from China’s top engineering college and then became the first female to lead a major development team at the Chinese Navy’s Research Institute. Li earned a master’s degree in Computer Science at CUNY and implemented next-generation cell phone systems. \n“I think the camera often produces images more compelling than the actual subject. I love spending hours quietly watching and recording my wild ducks and birds”\, says Li. “In fact\, I feel I’m one of them through my adoration and feelings of strong connection. I think my photos capture their indescribable beauty.” \nGinsburg grew up in Danbury and has been creatively “improving” photographs since building a basement darkroom when he was eleven years old. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Bioengineering at Duke University and while there worked for four years as the photographer for their daily paper\, developing all his prints in their darkrooms and completing a rigorous photography course. He then received a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering at Washington University St Louis and then worked in Boston as a biomedical engineer in research and development. Later he moved to Manhattan to create a workflow and reporting system at Morgan Stanley. \n“I believe every photo must have an emotional impact\,” says Ginsburg when asked what his guiding principle has been throughout his years of photography. \nNow retired\, they live in the woods on Squantz Pond and enjoy traveling to many countries and national parks. Li enjoys photographing\, learning French and playing the cello. Ginsburg enjoys photographing\, sailing\, playing tennis\, and creative writing.  He is a member of the Sherman Artists Association\, Great Hollow Photographers Club\, Sherman Writers Group and the Candlewood Sailing Club. \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 artisans in the local area with a curated selection of locally handmade fine art and gifts.

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.

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

Influenced by many wonderful artists and mentors\, including her father\, her creative expression is also derived from her professional careers as a graphic designer and art director\, as well as a twenty-five years of experience in the interior design business. \nWhether plein-air or in her studio\, she is inspired by beautiful landscapes and seascapes.  Painting with oil or gouache is now her primary creative outlet.   The act of painting has taught her to be more present and has magnified her observational skills. She finds inspiration and sees the elements of design all around her. “The incredible support and knowledge shared by the community of fellow artists\, mentors and friends has enriched my artistic journey\, for which I am profoundly grateful.” \nSlonaker\, a born and raised New Yorker\,  received a BA in graphic design.  This led to a ten year advertising career in NYC as an art director and creative director.  Her relentless love of interior design eventually led to the creation of ‘Design For Living’ an interior design business with clients throughout NYC\, Westchester\, New England and Florida.  After retiring\, she and her husband moved in 2016 to Pawling\, NY. She has been painting ever since. \nFor more information about this show and the Sherman Library\, visit:  www.shermanlibrary.org.

The opening reception is Saturday May 4\,  5 – 7pm.   The show is from May 3 – 26\, 2024.   For more information\, visit www.landgalleryonline.com or www.ShermanArtsts.org. \n\nTerry Pasquale prefers to paint in the abstract and let the viewer dictate the personal significance of the work. “I’m fascinated by the different perspectives that people bring to my art. One person sees birds and fish in my paintings\, while \nothers see flowers\, faces\, and medical elements.” Says Pasquale.  Using color\, metallic paints\, texture and mathematical principles like the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio\, Pasquale brings together a composition.  Each artwork is a balance between planning and accident.  In addition to canvas\, she paints on small leather items\, jewelry and pillows. \n\nPasquale began her art education at the Hudson River Museum and continued it at Pace University\, the American University of Rome\, and the Westchester Art Workshop. She discovered paint pouring during the pandemic and embraced it. Most \nof Paquale’s current work is acrylic abstract with some element of accidental art. She has displayed her paintings with Yonkers Arts\, Arts on the Lake\, the Sherman Artists Association\, the White Silo Winery\, Gallery 25 and the Mamaroneck Artists Guild.   She splits her time between Yonkers\, New York and New Fairfield Connecticut with her husband Tom and cat Poe. \n\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.

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.
