Lake Charles had been painting most of her life, and it has always brought Lake joy. When she was younger and busier, most of her painting were done while on vacation (The last exhibit 10 years ago focused on travel paintings.)
After moving to New Rochelle from Larchmont in 2003, Lake became majorly entangled with the garden on her property which she’d known before and always loved.
For Lake, “Painting OUTSIDE in good weather is the best, and INSIDE is a close second. The end result is almost beside the point. The joy IS in the making. It’s getting lost, meditating, and living in the moment while time melts away. Walk through the garden with me here .. Take a peek into the little piece of earth I am fortunate enough to inhabit and take care of”.
Drawing is Deborah Coulter’s passion. According to Coulter, “Its directness and intimacy give me the freedom to follow a gesture, to access the flow of energy, to play with space. Exploring the subtleties of light and dark is central to my work.” Through the medium of charcoal, Coulter discovers the world of the body: how we relate to the space inside and outside us; how the energy of air, water, fire and earth touch and transform the way we see, feel and move; how shadows of the ribs contain the heartbeat; how starlight rests upon the skin.
The collages in this exhibit come from a visual blog Coulter began in April of 2013 where she posts new collages each week. “I invite you to join me in these adventures of scissors & glue blending with the imagination in the exquisite present. The drawings come from the Montana collection and new charcoal drawings I have made this year. Daydreaming is an essential part of my creative process in making the collages while the drawings tend to flow from the places I go to dream…” Deborahcoulterartflow.com
