“WEST GALLERY PRESENTS A MIX OF SIX”
Exhibition of Loft Artist Members
March 28 to May 3
Stamford, CT — March 10, 2015 — Six members of The Loft Artists Association will showcase
their work in the West Gallery, 575 Pacific Street, Stamford, CT — on view March 28 to May 3.
These artists represent a variety of artistic disciplines and creative expression:
Photographer Kathy Muir prints black and white photographs on metal sheets. She states, “My
‘From Water, Life’ exhibition reminds us of how we have created life around water through our own
inventiveness and self expression.”
Much of Karen Neems’ photography is guided by the sense of mystery with what lies just below the
surface. She states, “In my series of ‘Unmade Beds’ I observe the honesty of a bedroom left in its
natural state. As the light enters the room and plays upon the surfaces, the viewer becomes
engaged in the lives within those images. A story unfolds…”
Wendi Ohlson works in acrylics and mixed media. Her intuitive sense of color leads her to create
bold, expressionistic paintings.
Maura Shapiro’s work, “The Source,” represents the fusion of selective architectural and landscape
concepts expressed through the medium of painting, collage and mixed media. “I try to accomplish
this goal by carefully seeking an interlocking balance between color, form, foreground, background,
texture, and structural equilibrium,” she states.
Jody Silver states, “my work, generally speaking, comes from personal experiences such as
vacations, and watching my family teach my granddaughter how to walk. Whatever I connect with
emotionally is fair game for a painting. As a one time animator and illustrator, I use my cartoony
skills to get close to my feelings.”
Phyllis Sinrich is exhibiting a collection of photographs she views as another look at nature. She
states, “These images are an invitation to explore nature from a different perspective…using a fine
art photographer’s eye to separate the traditional from the interpretative…perhaps to morph the
reality into an abstraction. Look at nature — but look again.”
Regular Gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday from 1 – 4:30 PM. Admission and parking are
free. For directions and more information visit www.loftartists.com or call 203-247-2027.
