The Gem Gallery is now showing paintings by Lavendier Myers, wood sculptures by Steve B. King, and jewelry by Betsy Stout. It makes for a fresh combination of media, forms, and purpose.
Lavendier's series of acrylics feature color rippling across watery surfaces. Perfect for a steamy summer. Her bold strokes splash across the canvas with joyful energy.
Steve works in wood, light, and time. His sculpture in the corner is whimsical and yet holds great presence, echoing the curves and elipses found in Lavendier's paintings.
The delicate silver, stone, and bead creations by Betsy hang like droplets around the gallery.
The show is up through July 14. Be sure to stop in and meet the artists, who will man the gallery from 11 AM to 6 PM daily.
Paul Brahm's show, which you may have missed, was filled to the brim with his sun-spangled paintings of people at the island shore.
Here is Paul, reflected in Dustine Price's assemblage mirror, discussing a commission in the front room of the gallery.
Summer shows change weekly, so stop in often. The back gallery rotates exhibits on Thursdays, while the front gallery houses the work of over 20 artists in the collective, with regular updates of art fresh from the hands of island makers.
The front door is blooming with flowers, and Dustine Price's assemblage mermaid beckons the curious.
Do stop in!
