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.

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

SUMMARY:August 17th Artist Talk with Alison Colby
DESCRIPTION:Wallkill River Center for the Arts (WRCA) will welcome photographer Alison Colby for an artist’s talk on Saturday\, August 17\, at 2PM. \n“Until I was approached by the gallery’s chief curator\, Billy Noonan\, I hadn’t seen my work outside of my phone\,” says Colby. “Billy helped me refine what an exhibit might look like—we discussed the number and size of images to show. He could see my vision and helped make it a reality. It was a revelation to see it on gallery walls.” \nColby’s solo exhibit #keepingitsecure\, currently on view at Wallkill River Center for the Arts through Sunday\, September 1\, has been a terrific success\, a crowd favorite. \n“We’ve had very positive responses to our two previous artists’ talks\,” says Sarah Fortner Pierson\, WRCA executive director. “It has been an enriching experience for the artists as well as the gallery visitors. Often\, art receptions can be busy\, noisy\, social events. They are a lot of fun. But sometimes they are not ideal for a focused engagement with the art. These artists talks offer a more intimate experience with the artist and their work.” \nAlison Colby’s photos have been on Instagram since 2014 (@sparkleshow). While the artist does take pictures of other things\, it is traffic cones that capture her eye. This exhibition shifts the viewer’s experience from the small screen to the gallery wall. \n“I’m new at all of this—and I look forward to sharing what moves me to stop and make a picture\, and what I am aiming for in a photo\,” Colby adds. “ At the artist’s talk\, I’ll be taking my cues from the exhibit’s visitors and will answer any questions they may have. I enjoy hearing about what people think is going on in my images. Everyone has a different story\, and I find them all thrilling. I like art to be fun\, and I look forward to exploring audience reaction in this casual and intimate setting with the folks at WRCA.” \nThe public is welcome free of charge. Donations are always gratefully accepted.\nThe artist will offer a show catalogue\, prints\, and a book for sale. \nAlison Colby\n#keepingitsecure \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. \nArtist’s Talk\nFree Saturday\, August 17\, 2024\, at 2 PM \nWallkill River Center for the Arts\n232 Ward Street (17K corner of Factory St)\nMontgomery NY\nwww.wallkill.art \nPhone: 845-457-ARTS\nEmail: info@wallkill.art\nGallery hours:\nFriday – Sunday\, 12:00 – 5:00 PM

SUMMARY:08/03/24 Hot Wrk Ensemble: Original Compositions
DESCRIPTION: Hot Wrk Ensemble plus Guest Artist Gwen Laster \nAugust 3\, 2024 – 3 pm \nWallkill River Center for the Arts\, 232 Ward Street at 17K\, Montgomery\, NY 12549 \nAccessibility:  Wheelchair accessible ramp and bathroom. \nFREE CONCERT – Suggested Donation $20.00 \n  \nHot Wrk Ensemble\, the saxophone/woodwind and percussion trio founded in 2020 by award- winning musicians J Brooks Marcus (J Why)\, Lois Hicks-Wozniak and Brad Hubbard\, is committed to creating community through diverse\, genre-eclectic “chamber grooves” that include collaborative improvisation.    \nHot Wrk’s programs include Bossa Nova\, Scarlatti\, Son Jalisco\, Funk\, free jazz\, prepared electronics and original compositions by ensemble members in an interactive experience.  Audiences are invited to engage by sharing thoughts\, asking questions\, contributing ideas and listening.  Hot Wrk Ensemble believes chamber music can be a voice for change by engaging community to interact with and partake in the creation process – breaking systemic barriers that have placed classical and jazz in niche markets. \n“Hot Wrk Ensemble is three gifted composer/musician/improvisers with a uniquely panglobal focus.  Are they a contemporary classical ensemble with truly eclectic instrumentation? Or are they a jazz group that has both Miles Davis and Domenico Scarlatti in their book?  The single answer to all those questions is a resounding ‘YES!’ In short\, HWE is the very much the poster child for broadly inclusive unconventional cultural engagement.” (Elysium Furnace Works) \nLois Hicks-Wozniak is an active concert saxophonist and educator in the New York Metropolitan and the Hudson Valley regions\, committed to community engagement through new music and global music styles.  \nA D’Addario Woodwinds Artist\, her many awards include winning the Special Presentation Winners Recital Series\, sponsored by Artists International Presentations; earning her a New York Recital Debut at Weill Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall.  \nShe is described in performance as having “tremendous technique and fidelity to tone without sacrificing musical line\,” and a “beautiful soprano saxophone sound…preserving the beauty and consistency of her sound regardless of the technical or musical demands of the moment” (Saxophone Symposium). \nHer album Playback: Music for Saxophone and Bass Trombone features Matt Wozniak\, trombone and Nadine Shank\, piano.   Lois has performed and recorded with the Albany Symphony\, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic and the first Burmese-American Hsiang Waing ensemble among others.  \nPreviously serving in the U.S. Army she played with the West Point Band and taught at Marist College\, Montclair State University\, and SUNY New Paltz. She holds degrees from Florida State University and Montclair State University.   Visit: http: www.loishickswozniak.com \n  \n J.

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:June 9th Artist Talk & Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 9th\, 2 – 4pm. \nArtist demonstrations followed by Q&A. \n  \nArtwork on view May 3\, 2024 – June 30\, 2024. \nThe gallery is open to the public Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 12:00-5:00 pm or by appointment. \nArtist Reception Saturday\, May 11\, 2024 5:00-7:00 pm. Receptions are always free and open to the public. \n  \nAmy Silberkleit is an artist in the Northern Catskills. Her work is based on the forests\, mountains\, roads\, trails and natural objects found near her home. The extraordinary beauty of the region\, the variety of plants\, forms and textures\, the dramatic changes from season to season are an inexhaustible source of subjects for her work.  She draws detailed landscapes on limestone blocks and hand-prints limited editions in her lithography studio. The tonal range made possible by the lithography stone’s fine texture lends itself perfectly to highly detailed representational drawings. In each piece\, she tries to capture a moment in time while showing the effect of light\, water and temperature on different elements in the landscape. Her intention is to draw the viewer in; to find a place in the landscape and observe the beauty of the natural world. An avid hiker\, she particularly enjoys walking through the forest in winter. Without leaves and undergrowth\, covered in snow\, the contours of the land are revealed. The tones and textures of the landscape stand out when they aren’t overwhelmed by the colors of other seasons. \n– \nSusan Siegel (b. 1964\, Los Angeles\, California) creates work that engages our connection to the natural world. Siegel holds an MFA from the New York Academy of Art in New York City (2010) with an emphasis in traditional oil painting. Her work has been exhibited in New York\, Chicago and Los Angeles\, including the Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary\, Sotheby’s and Flowers Gallery. Her work has been featured by New American Paintings\, Hi-Fructose Magazine\, and The Wall Street Journal. In 2012 Siegel was the recipient of a studio residency at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. She was awarded the Merit Award at the Silvermine Arts Center’s Paper 2019 exhibit curated by Jennifer Farrel\, Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In 2023 she was awarded the Woodstock Artist Association and Museum’s Annual Print Award. Siegel lives and works in the Hudson Valley.

SUMMARY:Amy Silberkleit: Last Winter\, Scenes and Objects from Outside
DESCRIPTION:Solo exhibit of works by Amy Silberkleit\, on view May 3\, 2024 – June 30\, 2024.  Artists Reception Saturday\, May 11\, 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. \nAmy Silberkleit is an artist in the Northern Catskills. Her work is based on the forests\, mountains\, roads\, trails and natural objects found near her home. The extraordinary beauty of the region\, the variety of plants\, forms and textures\, the dramatic changes from season to season are an inexhaustible source of subjects for her work.  She draws detailed landscapes on limestone blocks and hand-prints limited editions in her lithography studio. The tonal range made possible by the lithography stone’s fine texture lends itself perfectly to highly detailed representational drawings. In each piece\, she tries to capture a moment in time while showing the effect of light\, water and temperature on different elements in the landscape. Her intention is to draw the viewer in; to find a place in the landscape and observe the beauty of the natural world. An avid hiker\, she particularly enjoys walking through the forest in winter. Without leaves and undergrowth\, covered in snow\, the contours of the land are revealed. The tones and textures of the landscape stand out when they aren’t overwhelmed by the colors of other seasons. \nAmy has a B.A. in printmaking and a Certificate in Natural Science Art and Illustration from the New York Botanical Gardens. Her drawings and prints have been exhibited in juried shows\, galleries and museums.  Amy is a member of the Society of American Graphic Artists and an Active Member of The Woodstock Artists Association.

SUMMARY:Susan Siegel: Small Kingdoms
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibit of works by Susan Siegel\, on view May 3\, 2024 – June 30\, 2024 \nThe gallery is open to the public Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 12:00-5:00 pm or by appointment. \nArtist Reception Saturday\, May 11\, 2024 5:00-7:00 pm. Receptions are always free and open to the public. \nArtist Statement: \nIn this body of work\, I draw inspiration from Mary Oliver’s poem\, “Sleeping in the Forest\,” where she alludes to the bustling activity of “Small Kingdoms” at work during the night. This poetic imagery serves as a metaphor for the delicate interplay between humanity and nature. Much like Oliver’s portrayal\, my work delves into the sublime and peaceful merging of boundaries\, inviting viewers to contemplate moments of communion\, impermanence\, and metamorphosis. \nI find my inspiration in the rich traditions of ancient art\, medieval bestiaries\, and 18th- century natural science histories. The heart of my studio practice lies in the techniques of drawing and printmaking\, encompassing drypoints\, etchings\, monotypes\, and experimental collages. By exploring the coexistence of our “Small Kingdoms\,” my art serves as a mirror to the intricate tapestry of our existence in this tragic\, mysterious\, and beautiful world. \nArtist Biography: \nSusan Siegel (b. 1964\, Los Angeles\, California) creates work that engages our connection to the natural world. Siegel holds an MFA from the New York Academy of Art in New York City (2010) with an emphasis in traditional oil painting. Her work has been exhibited in New York\, Chicago and Los Angeles\, including the Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary\, Sotheby’s and Flowers Gallery. Her work has been featured by New American Paintings\, Hi-Fructose Magazine\, and The Wall Street Journal. In 2012 Siegel was the recipient of a studio residency at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. She was awarded the Merit Award at the Silvermine Arts Center’s Paper 2019 exhibit curated by Jennifer Farrel\, Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In 2023 she was awarded the Woodstock Artist Association and Museum’s Annual Print Award. Siegel lives and works in the Hudson Valley. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nansi Lent: Enigmatic Devotions
DESCRIPTION:“Enigmatic Devotions” is a solo exhibit by Rhinebeck artist Nansi T. Lent.  Lent’s current work is about the collective unconscious\, the evolution of language and the urge to write. Over time the artist has invented a symbolic language that borrows from ancient symbols but represents no language system but her own\, hybrid\, created one\, that continues to evolve with each new piece she makes. The work is meant to be read as language that has no signified meaning other than the viewers interpretation. “Mine is a contemplative practice where I explore the use of ancient symbols to evolve a new paradigm. It is a search for modern abstraction\, rooted in ancient gestures of language\,” the artist explains. \nNansi Lent holds a BA from Boston College in Studio Art and a Masters in Visual Arts Administration from NYU. Painting for decades\, she has exhibited widely in New York’s Hudson Valley region and beyond including The Katonah Museum of Art\, The Woodstock Artists Association and Museum\, The Coral Springs Art Museum in Florida\, Goggleworks in Reading\, PA.\, The New York Public Library\, The Starr Library inRhinebeck and in numerous co-ops and private galleries. Her work is held in several private collections. In 2018\, she founded Womenswork.art\, a gallery in Poughkeepsie. She is an Active Member of the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum. \nThe exhibit is on view March 1\, 2024 – April 28\, 2024 \nThe gallery is open to the public Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 12:00-5:00 pm or by appointment. \nArtist Reception Saturday\, March 9\, 2024 3:00-5:00 pm.  Receptions are always free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Emily Nomer: Night Vision
DESCRIPTION:Night Vision is a solo exhibit of work by Emily Nomer which was created between 2022-2023 in response to a period of deep loss.  “Creating beauty is both a restorative act\, and an end in itself\,” says the artist. “My process is time-consuming and repetitive; the compositions rely on proportion and balance\, with an ever-changing ‘buffet’ of motifs as prime ingredients. Color palettes suggest the mood.”  Nomer relays\, “Victor Hugo said\, ‘To love beauty is to see light.’ I aimed to create beauty from darkness.” \nThe gallery is open to the public Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays from 12:00-5:00 pm or by appointment. \nArtists Reception Saturday\, March 9\, 2024 3:00-5:00 pm.  Receptions are always free and open to the public. \nEmily Nomer worked for forty-plus years in the design business\, owning a company designing and manufacturing one-of-a-kind furniture for architects and designers in New York City. But she has been a visual artist since she could first hold a crayon. She holds a BA from Vassar College in Classical Greek\, and an MA in the same from the University of London. In 2016 she was finally able to attend art school\, and earned an MFA from the SUNY New Paltz. In 2022 she retired from her business and has devoted herself to her art full-time.  Nomer’s diverse artistic influences include Hellenistic pottery\, the Pattern and Decoration Movement\, Bauhaus designers and Russian constructivists\, amongst others.
