The exhibition is free and refreshments will be served. On Friday night, there will be live music provided by well-known Cape Breton-style fiddler, Harvey Tolman. Rosemary Conroy’s colorful and contemporary acrylic paintings explore the beauty of the wild and mild creatures that share this planet. Largely self-taught, she believes that passion for the subject is just as important as any formal pedigree. Conroy exhibits her award-winning work throughout the state including the Sharon Arts Gallery in Peterborough. Mary Wood Cornog, a resident of Nelson, resumed painting after a career as a teacher/ scholar of Greek, Latin, and French. As a painter, she finds inspiration in objects, ideas, and experiences which she renders in a variety of techniques and a range of styles from realistic to abstract. Working chiefly in acrylic, her paintings are inflected with idiosyncrasies of emotion, color, shape, and form and can imply a subtly Mary Wood Cornog wry or humorous comment. Elaine Cummings attended Rhode Island School of Design and has been working at making art all of her life. In addition to being a fine-art painter, she has also worked as an illustrator and taught art classes to children. Her colorful, often whimsical, paintings express her unique outlook on the joys of everyday life. She has a passion for color and for cats, which is reflected in her work. Eva-Lynn Loy of Peterborough, a former expressive art therapist and teacher, works mainly in acrylics and watercolor. Her artistic vision reflects the spirit of her subject, as well as her own spirit. Loy’s work was published in the Smoky Quartz Quarterly, first online edition, and she has been interviewed for www.blogtalkradio.com for “An Artist Speaks.” She is a signature member of the Rhode Island Watercolor Society and her work has appeared in national and regional juried shows.
