Nancy Fitz-Rapalje, based in Bellows Falls, Vermont, shows a large collection of oil paintings done in observation of some of her favorite subjects, such as lilacs, peaches, books, postcards of admired artists, radishes, asparagus and the agricultural and rural landscape. Fitz-Rapalje, referring to her painting as sketches, describes her practice of painting quickly from observation “a quick drilling of the eye and a short alla prima battle”. For the artist, the finished painting then becomes a reminder of that day when she really ‘looked’, and thus to be reinvigorated to do it again.

Edward Kingsbury III, based in Keene, New Hampshire, shares new large format abstract acrylic paintings. A self taught artist, Kingsbury has worked extensively in drawing and digital mediums, and most recently with painting. For Kingsbury, the work is a spiritual expression of the artist's practice of prayer while he works, the resulting painting being an abstract representation of God. Kingsburry’s paintings show an intricate pattern of lines layered with many textures of both opaque and translucent color, creating a luminous woven surface, undulating and changing before the eye.

Kathleen Kathan, based in Acworth, New Hampshire, uses oil paint and realism to express the importance to the artist of rural backyard agriculture and wildlife. Kathan’s paintings of agricultural life such as “Three Jerseys Grazing” and “Heifers On Summer Pasture” show a colorful and celebratory view of the landscape and how domesticated animals live on it. 


“I see things I'm not sure I will see again and so I paint it to remember, not knowing how long or short it may be before it is changed or gone. I hope to bring awareness to my viewers of the disappearing rural agricultural life and wildness hiding behind it.” -Kathleen Kathan

Andrew and Aspen Fersch, a father daughter team, share color prints along with painted dolls, featuring photographs taken of a particular “Barbie” doll posing in and amongst the kitchen. With descriptive titles such as “Cole Slaw Hot Tub”, “Bucatini Head” and “Meat Belt”, the artists offer the following explanation: “After 66 years of being told who to be and what to wear, our icon is more than ready to make her own statements. She posed in front of a ramshackle and rundown Android phone, with color filtering being the only modification. The resulting images are disarming and liberatory - an emotive plastique/plastic figure among visuals that makes the mind flit from the aesthetic, to the political, to the ageless power of play (and power plays).” -Andrew and Aspen Fersch.
