April: Cyndi Ferrante
Opening: Friday, April 5
5:30–7:30 pm
Cyndi started painting seriously 9 years ago and continues to take courses at River Gallery School where she enjoys working side by side with the school's community of artists. She takes her work a day at a time, usually painting between 3-6 hours a day.
Cyndi lives in Brattleboro, a place she values for it's vibrant arts scene. Between Gallery Walk, and the large number of studios, museums, and other types of creative work (theatre, dance, music and even circus arts), she finds Brattleboro to be the perfect place for an artist to live.
Visit Cyndi's website, where she will talk about her ideas, media, inspiration and techniques in her artist's diary.

Dispossessed | Recent Works by Lori Schreiner

This recent work is a series of portraits of those fleeing home due to violence,

July: Nancy Clingan
Opening: Friday, July 5th
5:30–7:30 pm
During her 50 year career in social services, furthering her higher education and raising children,
Nancy took random classes at local schools and workshops. Her first class was with Ric Campman here at RGS and she participated in a group show for survivors of trauma. She didn’t have time in those days to make her own art, but she used it in her work as an art therapist. She's always journaled, written poetry, been a part of a life drawing group.
Now, at age 73, Nancy lives half the year in Vermont and half in Oaxaca, Mexico,
In Mexico, Nancy would be called a golandrina, the swallow that seeks the sun. This expanse of work covers days from grad school at Lesley College to my most recent in Oaxaca in a variety of media.
The tin frames you see are the traditional hammered
tin, made by Miguel Aguero Olguin.
August: Melody Squires
Opening: Friday, August 2nd
5:30–7:30 pm
An introduction from Melody:
My name is Melody Squires from Guilford, Vermont. I have two types of Cerebral Palsy and I am confined to a wheelchair all the time and I have a speech problem. It's very hard to understand me, but the more that you're with me, my speech is easier to understand.
From my Cerebral Palsy, I cannot use my arms that easily, so I use a headstick to paint or type with. It's like a helmet that sits right on my head with a rod coming out to use. I attach a paint brush to the rod. When I paint, it is very relaxing to me that sometimes, I forget what I am doing. My mind likes to wander as I am painting.
I am very surprised at what I can paint by myself because I never thought that I'd ever paint in my life. It's very enlightening to me to see my artwork after I am finished with a painting.
