Multi-Discipline Exhibit in Gallery

"Figure, Form, and Spirit: Interpretations from life in photography, painting, sculpture, and drawing," a multi-discipline exhibit of works by New England artists Jayne Adams, Barbara Carr, Christopher Gowell, Eric Hovermale, Nora Lewis, and Rose Sielian Theriault, is on display through January 30 in the Galletly Gallery.

Painter Jayne Adams lives in Alton and teaches studio art at New Hampton School. Jayne uses color and light expressively, creating works that are worthy of transcending time and place and have universal appeal. Adams is a three-time Currier Art Award winner, NHAA, Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, N.H., and recipient of the Lassonde First Prize, NHAA, Levy Gallery, Portsmouth, N.H. She has work in private and pubic collections throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Painter Barbara Carr is from Salisbury, N.H. In this exhibit Carr uses color and form to explore and abstract the human figure. Her vivid colors illustrate the figure in both paint and pastel. Carr's primary medium is oil, but she also enjoys painting in watercolor and pastel and drawing in charcoal. Carr has shown her landscape, fruit and vegetable, and figure work extensively throughout New Hampshire.

Sculptor Christopher Gowell lives in Eliot, Maine, where she is director and owner of Sanctuary Arts, an art school and gallery. Christopher casts figures in bronze, iron, silver, cement, resin-gypsum products and fired clay. Some of her sculptures are observations from life, others are more expressive using symbols and mythological references to universal, spiritual, and psychological truths. Christopher has received both the Hitchiner Manufacturing Award for Sculpture from the Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, N.H., and the American Artist's Professional League - Council of American Artist Societies Award. Her work has been shown extensively, including at the Smithsonian Museum in "American Art Medals".

Eric Hovermale is an artist who lives and works in Newport, Rhode Island. Hovermale photographs the figure exclusively, commissioned portraits as well as more personal explorations of movement, form and light that illustrate the human spirit as well as the external form. Hovermale exhibits his work continuously throughout Rhode Island as a member of the Art League of Rhode Island, South County Art Association, the Newport Art Museum, and the Photographers’ Guild of the Newport Art Museum.

Fine Art photographer Nora Lewis photographs professionally for the University of Rhode Island. Lewis uses the camera and the darkroom to illustrate the human spirit, in one emotionally moving Holga series using multiple negatives and symbolism to narrate. Another series that Lewis exhibits as a part of this show are larger-than-life abstractions of the human face. Lewis has exhibited her images in galleries throughout Rhode Island and the U.S. Among Lewis' exhibitions and awards are an honorable mention at the 2004 International Fine Art Photography Exhibition at the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Rose Sielian Theriault is a painter and printmaker whose images illustrate an intrigue with color and line, cast shadows, subtle warm and cool color relationships as well as color contrasts. Theriault's awards include the Josie-Prescott Award, Prescott Park Arts Festival, Portsmouth, N.H., 2003, and the 3rd Prize Lassonde Memorial Juried Show, NHAA Levy Gallery, Portsmouth, N.H., 2004. Theriault's exhibitions have included the Harbor Square Gallery, Rockland, Maine, and the Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, N.H.

The Galletly Gallery is located on the second floor of the Moore Center of New Hampton School, New Hampton, New Hampshire. The gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
