Tjasa Owen paintings arrive from San Francisco


It is always exciting to receive new works from an artist, especially when they arrive in a large crate shipped all the way from San Francisco! Tjasa Owen, an artist who has been in our collection since we opened in 2001, is one of the six artists exhibiting in The Young Collector show opening Saturday, June 2nd. Joe Gitterman, a sculptor included in the show, was polishing work from his Gesture series.

Stephen Hannock Show in NYC

I wanted to share with you the news of his exhibition, Recent Paintings: Vistas with Texts, currently on display at the Marlborough Gallery in New York.


The exhibition showcases new large scale paintings, including two compositions, each eight feet high by twenty feet wide, Hannock’s largest works to date. Hannock’s painting, “Moving Water for Frank Moore; Niagara Falls (Mass MoCA #170)” is now on my list of Top 10 favorite artistic experiences of my life!


The exhibition also includes a room documenting Hannock’s process and the evolution of his present style. The exhibition will close June 2nd. It is a major show, which would be well worth the trip.

Cronin Maquettes

Runaway Pea
Susie Cronin shared her new ideas with us. She is forever coming up with new, playful yet profound, sculptural friends who touch our life experiences. We hope you will enjoy these maquettes in clay; the first stage of the lost wax casting process.

Great Article on Paul Caponigro


Reflecting Stream, Redding,CT 1968

A loyal client of ours was kind enough to inform us of this wonderful article entitled "The Landscape of Feeling" featured in the magazine Maine Home + Design. The article explores Paul Caponigro's  connection to nature, in his work and in his life. Caponigro is one of the foremost landscape photographers of our time.

When speaking of his work Caponigro says, “I realized I had to be in a state of love at all times,” he says. “That whatever my eye fell on, I had to be the lover that communes with whatever is out there. I even had to learn to love traffic. So now my eye is always roving and I am lovingly drinking in what’s there.”
