Paintings and Mixed Media Prints by M. Judah (golden-judahartstudio@usa.net)
"The Connecticut River Valley & Quantum Physics"
M. Judah's mixed media prints are all one of a kind. In this series on the rural landscape of the Connecticut River Valley Some of these works change with the lighting environment creating interesting effects. It is my goal as an artist is to bring awareness to the public of the need to protect the Connecticut River Valley from over development and to foster local sustainability. Hadley is currently on the World Monument Fund 2010 Watch List for over development of our precious farmlands.

In this series of oil landscapes by M. Judah of the foothills of the Italian Alps, it is my hope to bring public awareness to our need to reconnect with Nature and Source to bring humanity back to balance and to foster sustainability.

RECENT WORKS – STEPHANIE OATS

“Backyard Beauty” Exhibit
I’m inspired to display my work because it represents all the beauty and wonder in the Pioneer Valley. I’d like my viewers to be able to visit the places that I’ve seen so that they can see what I see.
Photography took me on a journey to a higher and deeper level of myself. When we express ourselves in positive ways, we let people into our hearts and soul. When I teach about composition, I ask people to look at life in many different ways. What’s great is that we all interpret art differently. There’s no right or wrong, just what we think and feel.
When we share that with one another, we can understand what other people see...and that’s what life and art is all about (at least that’s how I see it).

RECENT WORKS – LORNA CAMPODONICO (lcamp09122@aol.com )

“Radiation & Surviving”
