Hera Gallery

  Hera Gallery is pleased to feature the exhibition "Haiku", by Jeannette Jacobs on view from August 31 to October 5, 2013. Opening reception: Saturday, Sept 7th, 6 to 8pm Jeannette Jacobs has made over 100 originally designed quilts and enjoys the process immensely. As Jacobs states, “When I work on a quilt, I put away all thoughts that are not helpful and direct my energies towards relaxing and focusing. I work intuitively. I begin to see shapes in my head and think about how to cut them out of the huge palette of colors and patterns that I have in my fabrics. I have learned not to think about what others expect or what will sell, but rather I look at my time in my studio as a process of discovery. I love being inside my brain and pushing myself to think in ever more varied ways because I know the ideas are there for the taking. It’s all about being focused and disciplined. Being alone, in my studio allows me to, what I ...

  Hera Gallery is pleased to feature the exhibition “Imagined Landscapes” by Roberta Richman on view from August 31 to October 5, 2013. Opening reception: Saturday, Sept 7th, 6 to 8pm   As Richman states, “Landscape has inspired my work for as long as I can remember. Looking at horizons, fields, marshland, dunes and beginning new work with a particular place in mind is how I have always moved from a white sheet of paper to the first of many stages of the original image. My affinity to natural landscape has not changed but over time my expression of it has. This show includes two distinct groups of work that are obviously different.

Hera Gallery member Myron Rubenstein will be exhibiting his work in the Ilgenfritz Gallery at the Newport Art Museum from August 31st to December 29th.

The group consists of 19 members- painters, collage artists, printmakers, photographers, bookmakers and sculptors- all contributing pieces that celebrate the diversity of works on paper.

  LOCALLY SOURCED Presented by Yellow Peril at Craftland Gallery August 17 – October 19, 2013 Curated by Robert P. Stack Opening Reception: Saturday, August 17, 6PM – 9PM at Craftland, 235 Westminster St, Providence, RI Craftland Gallery Hours: Monday – Saturday, 10AM – 6PM Sunday, 11AM – 5PM Yellow Peril Gallery is pleased to present “Locally Sourced”, a group exhibition at Craftland Gallery featuring artists living in Rhode Island who intimately connect with their surroundings and create works of art using materials that are native to the Ocean State. Curated by Robert P. Stack from Yellow Peril, “Locally Sourced” is a sort of pun, lovingly poking fun not only at shows like the current one at the RISD Museum, but also restaurants that use the farm-to-table movement almost to overkill in their PR. This group exhibition will showcase works by local artists, promoting an “art-to-wall” movement, including a “menu” that acts as a guide, revealing the local...

Hello, my name is Jordan Collette. I'm an art student at the Newport MET and I have been making art for as long as I can remember. I draw cartoons, and I've also done a bit of costume design, animation and sculpture. I get a lot of my inspiration from animated films, video games, cartoons... etc. I'd like to work on something like that one day. Whether that means making concept art, story boarding, animating... anything! I'm hoping this internship will guide me in that direction. As far as hobbies go... I enjoy Renaissance Fairs and movies.  This is a work-in-progress of my fully wearable "mascot" head, before the fur has been applied.  Here is my first stop-motion film, which was a collaborative piece between me and two other students. The wolf was made by me. I was also the chief art director. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iQmXNvBWQg&sns=em
