SUMMARY:This Is Us
DESCRIPTION:The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts celebrates its twentieth anniversary year with a show of member artwork titled “This Is Us” opening on February 24th and running through March 22nd with an opening reception on February 27th. The show will include reflections on what being part of an artist-owned gallery has meant for each member and how it has shaped their work. The show will also include an artist talk in the gallery on Saturday\, March 7th at 4pm. \nIn 2006 a group of 15 artists put their nickels and dimes together and started an art gallery in Hillsborough\, NC. “Most of us didn’t know each other but we all needed a place to show and sell our work. There was a space we could sublet behind a gift shop on Churton Street\,” said Chris Graebner\, one of the founding members. “The owner of the gift shop was willing to handle our sales for the first few months while we figured things out. None of us had any experience running a business\, let alone an art gallery\, but we did some research and created a structure that has worked well for us over the years.” Over time\, the gallery has expanded to twenty-one members and more than doubled its square footage. Artists have come and gone but 5 of the original 15 remain. “We are all equal partners in the business\, and we all work shifts to keep the gallery open\, in addition to doing all the work it takes to run any business\,” says Graebner. “Artists generally work alone in their studios\, so we enjoy the chance to be with each other.” \nAs painter Ellie Reinhold describes her feelings in the beginning\, “In 2006 I remember thinking to myself\, well if this doesn’t pan out I just threw away $1200. I’d made a commitment to stay a year and contribute monthly dues of $100. Our vision was a cooperatively run retail gallery with 15 local artists who were all equal owners. I was willing to take the gamble\, but had no idea what would come of it. Hillsborough Gallery of Arts has had over 60 artist member/owners. 15\,000 visitors crossed our threshold in 2025 and we’ve sold nearly four million dollars’ worth of local art since our inception. I’ve found inspiration and solace\, friendship and professional growth in this organization. In other words\, I stumbled on this visual artist’s version of heaven. \nPainter Marcy Lansman has been a member of HGA fifteen years and what she appreciates most is how much freedom individual members have to decide what they will show. Artists are accepted in a particular medium\, but within that medium\, are allowed to grow and change in whatever direction their inspiration takes them. “No gallery owner decides that only a certain kind of work is acceptable. We are the owners\, and for the most part we each decide what kind of work we will do.” \nPotter Garry Childs joined HGA in the summer of 2008. “At that time I was traveling quite a bit\, going to 20 or more different art fairs and craft shows every year to sell my work. My reasons for joining were very simple. I wanted to spend less time on the road and to promote people coming to my studio. To be able to choose the work that I want to present and display it in the manner I think best\, is very important to me. The opportunities the gallery has given me to work with the other HGA artists for the betterment of us all has broadened my perspective.” \n“When I first joined the gallery a line in the contract stood out to me\,” says jeweler Nell Chandler. “It was a commitment to have a Featured Artist Show with all new work once a year. I was intrigued with the clause about new work. I took it to mean growth. Through our gallery and my commitment to our mission\, I have learned many new techniques in jewelry. Besides the wonderful and talented people I get to be around\, I love how the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts has forced me to grow. \nWhen potter Evelyn Ward decided not to rebuild her worn out salt kiln and to work with monoprinting on clay instead\, it meant changing clay\, glazes\, firing method – basically everything. “This new direction was very scary for me since I had been salt or soda firing for about 15 years. If I hadn’t had HGA as a home gallery when I was trying to make this decision\, I might have been too intimidated to take that leap. However\, I was able to put the new work in front of customers and get immediate feedback on the pots. Being a part of HGA has been invaluable to me allowing me the freedom to evolve as an artist.” \nPainter Nancy Smith attributes HGA’s success to the many contributions made by the 60 artists that have been members over the past 20 years. “I like to think of the founding members as those newly rooted plants whose ideas grew our organization into what it is today. Their influence gave substance and structure as new members came and grew new stems and blossomed.” \n“From our first meetings in July and August of 2006 I felt as if I had found a new second home\,” says Pat Merriman\, in whose living room those organizational meetings took place. “With all the years it still feels like a second home; our newer members have brought energy\, creative ideas and we continue to flourish.” \nAbout the Gallery\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 21 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The gallery’s offerings include watercolor\, oil and acrylic paintings\, metal and figurative sculpture\, photography\, ceramics\, scratchboard\, turned wood\, jewelry\, glass arts\, metals\, encaustic\, enamel\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery’s hours are 10am-6pm Monday – Saturday\, 12-4pm on Sunday.

SUMMARY:Earthly Realms
DESCRIPTION:For this show\, three artists have come together to create\, present\, and challenge the way we encounter and appreciate the realms of our planet.  \nGarry Childs has chosen to focus on clay as his realm: All of his work for “Earthly Realms” has been formed on the potter’s wheel\, from terra cotta clay. There is something very magical about this entire process for him\, like the moments when a shape is brought to life from wet clay as it forms in his hands. He applies glaze to his pots when they have reached a state potters call “leather-hard” – when the clay has stiffened up enough to handle but is not completely dry. He then carves through the glaze into the still damp clay to achieve various signature patterns you can see on his pots. Childs encourages people to encounter his work the same way they are made: with hands. Through touch\, visitors can appreciate texture\, particularly the contrast between the smooth glazed areas and the rougher\, hardened edges of the carved surface. The shapes and curves of the pot have always been his primary interest\, and color and pattern are used to enhance and emphasize its form. \nFor painter Nancy Smith\, the varied natural environments of our planet take the spotlight. Inspired by the colors and patterns of different regions including deserts\, mountains\, and forests\, Smith says her challenge was figuring out how to express her emotional experience of a scene with paint. Since she most often creates from a memory\, she tries to absorb a place on an unconscious level before she can successfully create it on a canvas. She starts with an underpainting of colors that remind her of an environment and often draws a grid on top. She then works with images she sees in the underpainting\, using paint or mixed media to accentuate them. The result is a collection of memories in each painting of an area she has experienced. \nFor scratchboard artist Sally Terrell\, “Earthly Realms” brought several definitions to mind – a kingdom\, domain\, or sphere of activity\, a primary zoogeographical area\, or a field of knowledge.  In non-physical terms\, it could refer to planes of existence\, dimensions\, or worlds\, which gave her a lot of latitude to play with. She has always been drawn to animals\, and she often includes them in her work. For this series\, the animal theme fits perfectly and has taken the form of birds on a branch or hanging around water\, a stag in the forest\, a Highland cow in a field of grass\, a wolf lying in the snow – each in their ‘realm’. One piece “Sunflower Magic” leans partially toward the non-physical realm\, inspired by the changes in the honeybee’s habitat. Another\, “Sunset Species\,” focuses on endangered animals\, encouraging us to think about their possible fate and whether it is inevitable. Terrell’s message rings clear: that animals are not only important to our world\, but as co-habitants of our own earthly realms. \nAn opening reception for Earthly Realms will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Artwalk\, on August 29th from 6-9pm. Nationally recognized accordionist David Digiuseppe\, will play music on the patio during the reception. \nAn Artist Talk by Garry Childs\, Nancy Smith and Sally Terrell will be held in the Gallery on Saturday\, September 13th at 4 p.m. \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts:\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 20 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil\, acrylic and watercolor painting\, sculpture\, pottery\, jewelry\, glass\, scratchboard\, fiber art\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery is open 10am-6pm Monday – Saturday\, and 12pm-4pm on Sunday.

SUMMARY:Art Colors Life
DESCRIPTION:Botanical and travel paintings by Chris Graebner\, vibrant acrylic landscape paintings by Marcy Lansman\, needle felted figurative sculpture by Lynn Wartski. In the gallery July 22nd through August 24th. Opening reception during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk\, July 25th\, 6-9pm. \nThe title of this show\, ”Art Colors Life\,” is taken from Chris Graebner’s favorite quote about art. Sir John Lubbock writes in his book\, The Pleasures of Life\, that “Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye\, and the eye through the mind.  As the sun colors flowers\, so does art color life.” \nGraebner often paints from photos taken while traveling. Because she’s not traveling very much these days\, she spent several weeks this winter going through thousands of photos taken over the last twenty years\, pulling out the ones that called to her. Graebner says her photos are not great\, as they are often taken from a moving vehicle\, through streaky windows. However they return her to a time and place where something struck her that she wanted to remember – perhaps the way a plant really looks up close\, maybe the way ripples from a cat’s tongue make their way across a pool of water\, or maybe the angles and colors of rooftops – something in particular that she wanted to remember. Though an oil painter\, Graebner likes to add other mediums such as cold wax\, graphite or oil-based inks; often using acrylics to provide the base color of her paintings. \nLynn Wartski has also drawn inspiration from John Lubbock’s quote. Lubbock draws a reciprocal relationship between the mind and the eye and this year she’s noticed something similar with the last phrase\, that life can color art as well. Her felt sculptures usually evoke a sense of whimsy or humor\, but lighthearted joy-sparking art has been a challenge lately\, and  Wartski has found herself bouncing between the widely different aims of wanting to say more\, or just letting herself play. She decided to just let the work go where it wants to go. One piece may be a little more serious\, the next a pure flight of fancy.  “Winged Liberty Rises” is a piece that comments on current events and endeavors to express hope. The figure is a felted representation of a marble statue that has been knocked down and a little bit bloodied but possesses the determination and strength to pull itself up.  “Love Is Nurtured” is a joyful piece depicting a mother and baby giraffe. The two figures stand with foreheads touching and eyes closed. The mother’s long neck is bent down touching the young one. The giraffe’s distinctive pattern morphs from back to front into a stylized floral pattern that appears to pass from mother to baby. Wartski’s sculptures are created by needle felting wool fiber over a wire and batting armature. \nPainter Marcy Lansman is excited by color in her landscapes. Using areas of bright color on the canvas to create a base\, and using a palette knife to create an overpainting on top\, she lets bits of the underpainting peak through. For this show she’s used a wider color palette. For example\, her painting “Behind the Dunes” depicts the dramatically curving trees that grow just inland of the dunes on our North Carolina islands. In the painting the leaves vary from deep blue to a very pale white/yellow\, and Lansman finds that the wider the variety of colors\, the more vibrant the painting. Asked if she paints plein air\, Lansman says she visits the site and takes many\, many photos\, then uses the photos as inspiration for the painting. \nCome join us on July 25th from 6-9pm\, during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk for the opening reception and see the art inspired by the quote “Art Colors Life.” Enjoy old time country renditions by the Lars Barbary Trio on our patio \nIf you’d like a chance to meet these artists and hear about their inspiration and process\, their Artist Talk will be held in the gallery on Saturday\, August 9th at 4pm. \n  \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts: \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 20 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil\, acrylic and watercolor painting\, sculpture\, pottery\, jewelry\, glass\, scratchboard\, fiber art\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N.

SUMMARY:So Much Color
DESCRIPTION:So Much Color \nBeginning June 24th at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts\, is a show featuring 3 artists with very different processes and styles. The thing they do have in common is color – hence the show title\, “So Much Color”. \nKaidy Lewis has refined a process of abstract expressionism that brings to the canvas a feeling\, a subject\, or a current affair which she experiences as making no sense.  Her conversation with paint is a subjective\, exploratory\, and investigative process.  Lewis’ paintings are multi-layered and complex; they are a synthesis of inanimate objects and ambiguous figures\, within aesthetics of beauty\, color\, rhythm and design.  This semi-abstract visual art is an endeavor to deconstruct autobiographical chaos into some type of joyous humor that provokes the subconscious in the viewer and makes a space for connection.  Hints are embedded into the canvas in the hope that the conversation in paint quietens the ego and softens the noise of the world.  Lewis sees her practice as a health regimen that can create confidence\, community and compassion.  She was born in the UK and attended art college in London\,  and now works out of two studios located in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina. \nMark Kinsella\, 3D fused glass artist\, combines color and shape with eye-catching results.  His conception of a glass piece begins with a vague idea of color or texture.  As he starts putting it together\, it takes on a life of its own and can end up being totally different than what he had in mind at the beginning.  For him working with glass is a metaphor for life.  When he works with glass\, he is reminded that life\, like glass\, is fragile.  And that something shattered and broken into a million pieces can be recreated into something whole and beautiful again.  Kinsella spent the majority of his life as a photographer in the private sector\, but in 2005 discovered the art of fused glass.  After starting with a small table-top kiln he quickly realized that he was meant to create larger and more complex works.  Kinsella has continued to learn through experimentation and through local workshops\, continually developing his unique style. \nFor this show Pat Merriman has ventured into different styles\, experimenting with pouring acrylic analogous colors mixed with glazing mediums and topping the pour with acrylic inks. It requires 2 days for this background layer to dry before she can add the focal piece or collage. One group of Merriman’s paintings will have a QR code showing that the title of each piece is a familiar song.  A second group is based on her love of the work of African American artist Richard Mayhew\, and is inspired by his strata and vivid colors. Merriman’s very bright landscapes evoke his style and are built of layers upon layers of acrylic color mixes using fan brushes\, sponges\, Q-tips\, and fingers. One piece is a large scene of Merriman’s memories of Emerald Isle\, North Carolina. \nCome visit the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts and be inspired by “So Much Color”.  The show runs from June 24 – July 20. The opening reception will be held during Hillsborough’s Last Friday Art Walk on June 27th from 6 – 9 p.m. The Jackson St. Band will play 60s & 70s American roots rock on the patio during the reception. \n  \nIf you’d like a chance to meet these artists and hear about their inspiration and process\, their Artist Talk will be held in the gallery on Saturday\, July 12th at 4pm. \n  \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts: \nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 20 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft.

DESCRIPTION:Artists Nell Chandler\, Ellie Reinhold\, and Evelyn Ward chose the title\, Elemental Form\, for their show\, connecting the lines\, shapes\, and textures in Ward’s pottery\, the designs etched into the metals of Chandler’s jewelry\, and the visual inspiration from nature for Reinhold’s paintings. \nNell Chandler began as a painter and printmaker. With the gift of a beginning class in jewelry making\, she fell in love with metal in her very first class. Eventually Chandler integrated her painting\, printmaking and jewelry fabrication into the work she creates today. Over the years she has been exploring new techniques and combines them into her work. Her “narrative” work tells stories filled with recurring figures and symbols. Often the wearer of a piece of her jewelry will share with her a story of their own. Those special moments affirm her choice of medium to share her art with the world. \nEllie Reinhold’s approach to painting is very loose and organic. The spark might be something very small and elemental\, a particular color combination\, a feeling of distance\, of contrast. Reinhold seeks through painting\, taking a leap of faith. A painting really develops from the act itself – application of color and line. With each blank canvas\, she starts from nowhere with nothing\, first adding random color\, then random marks. The title of the show – usually chosen long before the work begins – can also be a guiding force.  As she paints\, words or phrases come to mind\, and she finds her title in these words. For Reinhold the process is one of clarifying. Canvases begin chaotically\, unformed\, and she seeks the final image through the practice of painting. \nThis winter Evelyn Ward spent time experimenting with a new palette. Drawn to photos of abandoned factories\, with their intersecting and overlapping colors\, her new work references lines of the built environment. Loving what the passage of time and effects of weather do to surfaces\, Ward is using a technique called mono-print transferring to decorate the surfaces.  She paints slip onto cut pieces of paper and then transfers them onto the pot to create the design. She loves the imperfections that this process leaves on the surface of the pot with the underlying dark clay body showing through\, as well as the clean lines she can get from the process. \nElemental Form\, May 27 – June 22\, Opening reception May 30\, 6-9:00 p.m. Carolina Campfire will perform music on the patio in front of the gallery during the art walk. \nThe show will include a talk by the artists in the gallery on Saturday\, June 14th at 4pm. \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts: Owned and operated by 20 local artists\, HGA’s offerings include painting\, sculpture\, pottery\, weaving\, jewelry\, glass\, scratchboard\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N. Churton Street\, Hillsborough\, NC 27278. Phone: (919) 732-5001. The gallery is open 10am-6pm Monday – Saturday\, and 12pm-4pm on Sunday.

SUMMARY:Drift
DESCRIPTION:Artists Ryann Carey and Pete Rodrigues will be exhibiting recent works in their upcoming show\, Drift\, which will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd until May 25th. The opening reception will be on Friday\, April 25th from 6:00-9:00 pm. During the reception\, Ben Fisher will perform experimental/ambient music heavily influenced by\nNorth Carolina’s deep tradition of folk music\, on the patio in front of the gallery. \nPainter Ryann Carey considers Drift an apt title for the watercolor work she has created for this show. Says Carey “I am a bit of a wanderer both in place and mind. Often sidetracked by the light reflecting off an electric wire or the pattern of the ripples on water\, I let my observations lead the way for my watercolor paintings. These moments surround us\, often passing unnoticed\, in the midst of joy\, pain\, sadness\, hope.” \nWoodworker Pete Rodrigues creates not only unique handcrafted furniture\, but also art that hangs on the wall. Using select hardwoods which he cuts\, bends and shapes\, Rodrigues uses his imagination as well as his knowledge of the properties of his materials to achieve his original designs. “For me\, creating furniture as an art form is a process of visualizing what is possible- designing building\, and then letting it be used as function as much as form” says Rodrigues. “For my featured show this year I’m excited about the work I will be displaying. As I continue to work on them\, I’m enjoying how the process is more sculptural\, having a general idea and drifting with it.” \nDrift will be on display at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from April 22nd through May 25th with a talk by the artists in the gallery on Saturday\, May 10th at 4pm. \nAbout the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts:\nThe Hillsborough Gallery of Arts is owned and operated by 20 local artists and represents these established artists exhibiting contemporary fine art and fine craft. The Gallery’s offerings include oil\, acrylic and watercolor painting\, sculpture\, pottery\, weaving\, jewelry\, glass\, gourd sculpture\, scratchboard\, and handcrafted furniture. 121 N.
