Women’s Art Center of the Hamptons (WACH) is currently presenting “Shades of Winter” a captivating exhibition that captures the quiet beauty and introspective mood of the winter season. The show opened on February 21, and will remain on view through Sunday, March 30.
Featuring a vivid mix of photography, textiles, paintings and mixed media works, this exhibition highlights winter’s muted palette and calming atmosphere. This group exhibition showcases the artwork of Carolyn Conrad, Kathy Erteman, Eva Faye, Rhiannon Griego and Kerry Sharkey-Miller.
“The winter season offers an expressive range of soft and subtle colors that invite us to explore new ways of looking at the world.” says WACH director Wendy Van Deusen. “And through new ways of seeing, we broaden our horizons discovering beauty in simple forms and landscapes.”
The participating artists employ a diverse range of media to reflect on the themes of stillness, transformation and the intricate patterns and details found in nature. WACH associate director Joi Jackson Perle adds, “The title ‘Shades of Winter’ has a double meaning: the beautiful shades of colors found in the winter landscape as well as the lovely ways in which winter heals and calms us. It lets us rest in its tranquility and restores our spirits for the year ahead.”
Women’s Art Center of the Hamptons is at 2418 Main Street in Bridgehampton. For more information, visit wachamptonsny.org.
