March 8 - April 2, 2005

Victoria Pearmain is a young artist currently living in Georgia, whose primary interests is painting landscapes on site. She particularly enjoys painting older architectural struct-ures, such as houses or industrial buildings within the landscape, places that have been altered by time and nature.

She prefers painting on gessoed watercolor paper for her small format paintings. Her aim is to achieve a sense of time and place, a little window into a small corner of the world that catches the viewers eye.

Inspired by American and European landscape painters such as Hopper, Burchfield. Twachtman, Corot and Millet, Pearmain explores the great outdoors documenting serene and forgotten spots. Born in Lincoln, MA, Victoria Pearmain graduated with a BFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art. Victoria's work is included in a number of private and corporate collections.

Donna Dodson
New Sculpture

March 8 - April 2, 2005

Donna Dodson derives much of her influence for her sculpture from Egyptian statuary of animals and from her premed studies when she had an opportunity to view cadavers of animals and humans. These studies form a strong understanding of pro-portion, structure and design. Her medium is an array of wood, some of which has been given to her by friends who have come across interesting sections of wood. All of her characters of the animal kingdom are presented with a whim-sical and sentimental approach as noted in their titles, "Mutt God," "Bat Goddess," and "Rabbit Woman." Their titles are punctuated with subtle sections of paint, such as the white painted toenails and green tusks on "Madam Elephant."

A graduate of Wellesley College, Dodson had studied with renowned sculptor Joseph Wheelwright for three years. She has shown extensively throughout New England and is currently represented by Artana Gallery, Brookline, MA, Gallery Wright, Wilmington, VT and So Hyun Gallery, New York City, NY.
