More Changes Taking Place at Moosewalk

Chris, the very talented carpenter from Turtle Creek Builders, has again worked miracles for Moosewalk Studios. By removing a door frame and enlarging the opening to the photo lab we are now able to increase the gallery wall space.  The change, complete with additional lighting, gives us more than 30 feet of continuous wall space for displaying the large format prints that Roarke is able to produce on the archival printer. The galleries are also going to receive a fresh coat of paint for a brighter appearance.

Moosewalk Studios and Gallery are open by appointment throughout the winter months and will be reopening with regular hours in May. Our work is also available down in the Valley at both the Parade Gallery in Warren and Bridge Street Emporium and Gallery in Waitsfield.

Lisa Beach – Beyond Stunning

by Gary Eckhart on October 28, 2011

in Community, Events, News

Anyone, yes anyone, interested in water media as an art form should make it a point to go out of their way to see the spectacular solo show of Lisa Beach’s paintings currently occupying the East Gallery at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe, VT. Lisa is an absolute master of composition, design and color and uses all three superbly to translate her ideas on to paper both in traditional watercolor and acrylics. She has also mastered the use of negative space to develop very dynamic forms in both her representative and abstractive works. The inclusion of a few intimate, almost realistic pencil and ink studies lets one know that she totally understands form and structure in nature and that the abstracts are not merely flukes but well thought out plans.

The show runs through November 27.
