Eyes on New Talent exhibit at Carega Gallery

CENTER SANDWICH — The opening reception for Eyes on New Talent exhibit will be from 5 to 7 p.m. on Sept. 2 at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery. The artists participating in the exhibit are for the most part local or in a few cases visit the Lakes Region for large parts of the year. All are serious in their pursuit of excellence when it comes to making art.

The nine artists are Christy Bensley, Meredith Gisness, Betty Webster and Travis Bullard from Center Sandwich; Rhetta Colon and Wendy Wilson from Meredith: Pam Tarica and Shelley Holtzman from Center Harbor and Pam Urda from Moultonborough. This is a refreshing exhibit of work in all media: oil on canvas, watercolor, acrylic, graphite, mixed media and sculpture.

This fall seemed like a fine time to show new talent at the gallery. Work is figurative, abstract or somewhere in between. There are some fine hands as is seen in the work of Colon and some bold color as in the work of Pam Urda. Bullard is a sculptor who works in wood while multi talented Gisness and Wilson present abstracted work. Lovely landscapes of the lake are seen in the work of Bensley, Tarica and Holtzman. Webster has her own charming interpretation of our surroundings.

This exhibit is the last for Summer 2017.
