SUMMARY:Alison Colby:  #keepingitsecure
DESCRIPTION:WRCA presents a solo exhibit of photographic works by Alison Colby on view July 5\, 2024 – September 1\, 2024.  The gallery is open to the public Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 12:00-5:00 pm or by appointment.  Artists Reception Saturday\, July 13\, 2024 5:00-7:00 pm. Receptions are always free and open to the public. \nArtist Statement: \n#keepingitsecure is the first exhibition of photographs by New York city-based artist Alison Colby.  While she does take pictures of other things\, it is traffic cones that capture her eye. “They are fun\, colorful and tell a story. Their inherent flimsiness and the futility of their mission is endearing\,” says Colby.  This exhibition shifts the viewer’s experience from the small screen to the gallery wall.  Her photos have been on Instagram since 2014 (@sparkleshow). \nArtist Biography: \nPrevious artistic endeavors include “Aesthetic Technicians\,” a shared exhibition with visual artist Sas Colby at the The Space in Oakland\, CA (1980); “Losers Weepers\,” a public access cable call-in show celebrating found objects with Lizzy Yoder in NYC (1995-97) and the “Donkey Show\,” a collaboration with Robin Bordie featuring modified paintings at La Serena\, Mallorca\, Spain (2017). She has used her creative skills to resist the destruction of the East River Park\, participating in protests with East River Park Action. Most recently she participated in successful union actions for a fair contract at her job. Alison Colby has worked in magazine and newspaper production for over 40 years. She has lived in the East Village (NYC) since 1981. \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Peter A. Kopher\, Legacy Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Retrospective exhibit honoring the photographic work of the late Peter A. Kopher. \nThe exhibit is on view July 5\, 2024 – September 1\, 2024 \nThe gallery is open to the public Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 12:00-5:00 pm or by appointment. \nArtists Reception Saturday\, July 13\, 2024 5:00-7:00 pm. Receptions are always free and open to the public. \n \nBiography: \nPeter A. Kopher of Warwick NY\, passed away on January 2\, 2023 at the age of 66 years old.  Peter  was an integral part of the Orange County\, NY arts scene.  He was a member of Wallkill River Center for the Arts and exhibited regularly and notably won First Place in the People’s Choice Award for his photograph “Into the Mist” in 2021.  Peter was also active in the Goshen Art League and the Warwick Art League. \nPeter A. Kopher had an insightful and astute eye as a photographer.   He was particularly talented at photographing ordinary objects but through incisive\, minimalist inspired composition and selective use of the view finder\, he elevated humble scenes\, and revealed them to be ironic\, contemplative\, sometimes humorous and often elegant. \nHe was also an avid swimmer and hiker\, managing to hike the NY\, NJ\, and PA portions of the Appalachian Trail. He adored nature; his favorite book was “Walden” by Thoreau. He most often found his own true self while walking outdoors. He was a great lover of animals\, including his two beloved rescue cats\, Cassie and Prudence. He was a devoted son\, brother\, father and husband. \nBorn in Rockville Centre\, NY on September 29\, 1956\, he was the son of Raymond and Joan (Creeden) Kopher.  Peter attended school in Farmingdale\, New York. He participated in several high school theatrical productions and also earned a high NYSSMA rating for his sousaphone playing. After high school graduation\, Peter received a scholarship to the New York Institute of Technology\, where he studied Communication Arts. He searched for work combining his love of theatre with his technical skills\, and eventually earned his union card for membership in Local #1\, the International Actors and Theatre Stage Union (IATSE). In a career spanning 30 years as a stagehand and lighting assistant\, he had countless fascinating stories to tell. He was a hard worker and well respected among his colleagues. His work credits included MTV\, Silent Library\, a one-year stint with the Broadway production of Les Miz\, The Rachael Ray Show\, Lighting Director for the Jon Stewart show\, Project Runway\, lighting the big tree at Rockefeller Center\, SNL\, the US Open tennis tournament\, and countless other free-lance jobs. Peter and his wife\, Sally\, became residents of Warwick NY in 2013\, following a move from Seaford\, NY after Superstorm Sandy displaced him from his home – a roomy and unique housebarge which was moored on the Great South Bay. \nPeter is survived by his wife of 11 years\, Sally (McCalmont) Kopher; twin daughters Caitlin Wilmot and  her husband Josh of Rochester\, NY; and Cristin Kopher of New York\, NY; step-daughters Sarah Sica and  her husband Ramiro Flores of Brooklyn and Anna Sica of Fairfield\, IA; grandson Bradley Wilmot; and sister Linda Finch of Columbia\, SC. He was predeceased by his parents and sister Laurie Parrish. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Ward Lamb: Flowers from My Garden
DESCRIPTION:Solo exhibit of paintings by Ward Lamb\, on view September 6\, 2024 – October 27\, 2024. \nArtists Reception Saturday\, September 14\, 2024 5:00-7:00 pm. Receptions are always free and open to the public. \nThe gallery is open to the public Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 12:00-5:00 pm or by appointment. \nArtist Statement \nFlowers have a primal meaning to Ward Lamb who sees them as transient and beautiful as so much of life is.  His paintings are rich in color and atmosphere\, painted from life. Lamb’s subjects come mostly from his garden\, and they suggest American-Impressionist imagery.  He works with the seasons as they are very important in his connection to nature.  In addition to flowers\, Lamb’s body of work includes many other subjects. \nBiography \nWard Lamb is a New York State native born in Syracuse\, New York.  He has been a prolific painter for the last 50 years. He has a graduate degree in painting from Brooklyn College and also attended the New York Studio School of Drawing and painting.  His works are in private collections and museums\, including the Leslie-Lohman Museum in New York City.  He also does portrait works on commission.  Lamb taught High School art at Minisink Valley Schools\, and also taught on a Fulbright Scholarship in England in 1993.  Ward Lamb is a resident of Slate Hill\, New York. \n\n  \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Donna Prizzi:  Floral Impressions
DESCRIPTION:Solo exhibit of works by Donna Prizzi on view  September 6\, 2024 – October 27\, 2024 \nThe gallery is open to the public Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 12:00-5:00 pm or by appointment. \nArtists Reception Saturday\, September 14\, 2024 5:00-7:00 pm. Receptions are always free and open to the public. \nArtist Statement: \nIn the quiet life of inanimate objects\, seemingly still and motionless\, lives a story or narrative that can create a connection to our home\, family\, friends\, culture\, or customs.  It can elicit a visceral response that often invokes the senses.  Weather looking at a painting of food\, flowers\, or the humble objects that surround our daily lives\, we can find the subjective connection to a place\, a time\, or a moment.  As life impatiently careens forward and we are increasingly connected (or disconnected) by the labyrinth of technology\, painting the still life is a meditative process that connects me to the past\, present and future through the contemplative interpretation of its meaning\, its aesthetic form and its significance.  This show\, “Floral Impressions” is an expression of gratitude for the simple blessings and subtle beauty that exists in our everyday lives. \n  \n \n  \n

She worked in her family’s citrus orchards until an unseasonable frost killed the trees in 1982. This loss changed the trajectory of her career from farmer to artist. She went to art school at University of North Texas in Denton\, and studied Semiotics with artist Vernon Fisher\, then transferred to San Francisco Art Institute in 1987. Her real education happened as an artist’s apprentice in SoHo section of NY where she worked in several artist’s studios until leaving the city for the beautiful farmlands North of the city and began teaching plein air classes in 2000\, and continues weekly to this day in Tampa Bay.  She founded a plein air school with an Arts and Agricultural mission based on the historic Hudson River School\, called the Wallkill River School of Art. It still exists today as a nonprofit arts organization with a mission of bringing cultural tourism to the Hudson Valley region through plein air painting workshops and events on local farms\, historic sites and open spaces. Joyce has won many prestigious awards for plein air painting\, and is a signature member of New York Plein Air Painters (NYPAP)\, and International Plein Air Painters (IPAP)\, and Pastel Society of Tampa Bay (PSTB). She has been featured in many national newspapers and magazines like the New York Times\, Plein Air Magazine\, Plein Air Podcast with Eric Rhoads\, Pastel Journal Magazine\, Tampa Bay Magazine. She is represented by six galleries around the country including Wallkill River School in NY\, Woodfield Fine Art in St. Pete\, and Lakeside Inn Gallery in Mount Dora\, FL. She teaches workshops in pastel and plein air techniques across the country in Staunton\, VA\, Olana\, NY\, Tampa Bay Florida\, and is included in museum collections in the Georges Pompidou Museum in France and the Museum of Modern Art in NY. She recently won the Creative Pinellas grant for established artists in 2023\, Best in Show for Central Florida Pastel Society Annual Exhibit\, and Best in Show for 2024 Pastel Society of Tampa Bay Annual Exhibit.
