A Love of Nature Through Paint: Plein Air Paintings of Local Landscapes by Susan Fusco-Fazio
2025-05-31 00:00 - 2025-06-26 23:59 | Hingham Library’s Dolphin Gallery, 66 Leavitt Street, Hingham, MA, United States
Join us in celebration of the works by Susan Fusco-Fazio, on display May 31 – June 26 at the Dolphin Gallery at Hingham Public Library. The opening reception will take place Thursday, June 5, 5:30-7:30pm.
Statement from Artist:
My studio is outdoors in nature. I paint local landscapes, seascapes, salt marshes, and gardens on the South Shore and Cape Cod. To create a series of work, I paint favorite scenes repeatedly in various weather conditions, at different times of day, throughout the seasons. Working tirelessly, I aim to capture nuances of changing light and color, the rhythm and essence of a particular scene on a given day, of one moment in time. While painting in the garden, I aim to capture the interconnections between flowers, plants, trees, and shrubs. I always thank the landscape when I am finished. It is an honor and a great joy to paint in nature.

Plymouth Center for the Arts presents "A Different Vision 2.0"

A Different Vision 2.0
Registration Begins
May 21, 2025
A Different Vision returns to Plymouth Center for the Arts in a newly imagined way. Artists and audiences alike are encouraged to see, hear, touch, smell, interact with and even manipulate the art.
While a Different Vision began as a show specifically for the visually impaired, the show for 2025 endeavors to expand how all viewers experience art through exploration beyond traditional viewing. The experience will challenge the notion that sight is essential for creating and enjoying exceptional art, while also emphasizing touch as a fundamental part of our daily lives and overall sensual experience.

Laura Harvey "Heat Wave"
2025-07-01 00:00 - 2025-08-31 23:59 | Duxbury Free Library, 77 Alden Street, Duxbury, MA, 02231, United States
The Helen Bumpus Gallery presents
Laura Harvey’s “Heat Wave”

Artist Statement
As a mixed media artist, I create intricately layered collages on a variety of substrates: from canvas and traditional birch panels to hollow-core doors. To intuitively create each piece, I draw from an ever-evolving collection of media and vintage ephemera, building layers using paint, papers (found, purchased and hand painted), acrylic mediums, graphite, photo transfers and more. I derive a storyteller’s satisfaction watching each piece evolve during the creative process – from the initial blur of an idea to a completed visual.

Imperfect by Christine Marohn at South Shore Conservatory
2025-07-01 08:00 - 2025-09-28 17:00 | South Shore Conservatory, 1 Conservatory Dr, Hingham, MA, United States
SSAC presents “imperfect”, a solo show of Christine Marohn’s glorious work. On view at the South Shore Conservatory, July 1st through September 28th.

Artist Statement
My painting is a reflection of my efforts to make something beautiful from a chaotic, confusing and often insecure 30 years as a military wife and stay at home mother.
I use words layered with translucent color to symbolize the calls I have always heard to return to art; the imposed self-criticism for letting painting go for so long; the insecurity I feel returning to it.I want the viewer to see a beautiful painting but continue to look deeper – to really see how my work is composed through courses of words, color and personal autobiography.
My life has had many layers – many good, colorful layers and experiences that has made me into who I am today, an artist returning to herself.
About the artist
Christine is an artist working in her chosen home of Duxbury, Massachusetts. She is a life-long artist with a degree in graphic design and illustration who enjoys using her classical training to create paintings that push color and illuminate the subconscious. Christine considers herself one of the lucky ones – among her greatest joys is the love for her husband, EJ, her grown and accomplished daughters Meaghan and Lauren as well as her delightful Havanese, Pippa.

"Here Comes The Sun" by Rita Berkowitz
2025-09-02 - 2025-09-30 | Norwell Public Library, 64 South Street, Norwell, MA, 02061, United States
Here Comes The Sun: Rita S. Berkowitz

Artist Reception
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 1:00 – 3:00 PM Meeting Room, Norwell Public Library 64 South Street, Norwell MA, 02061

Artist Statement:
Every morning as the sun rises we are promised a new beginning. A time to rethink who we are and what we would like to achieve in our lives. It represents the Cycle of Life, like a daily reincarnation. Ancient people thought of the sun as the source of life. The Mayan people thought the sunrise brings warmth into consciousness.
Blessed with images of Scituate, Massachusetts, on the marsh, to see the most beautiful sunrises to welcome in the day. No matter the weather, the sunrise gives us a feeling that it is all okay and we can go forward to be who we truly want to be.
The poem, “Paint Me a Sunrise,” by Linda Harrison, read at many memorial services, from that moment forward Rita Berkowitz has been embracing the sunrise not only as a memorial but as a meditation to begin every day. We begin with the thoughts “How we can reinvent ourselves, to become the people we really want t to be, to decide who we are today and from this point forward.

Weathered Beauty
2025-09-10 - 2025-11-14 | Savage Godfrey Gallery, 693 Main St, Norwell, MA, 02061, United States
Savage Godfrey Gallery Presents
Weathered Beauty
a collection of works from Christine Bodnar, Suzette Lebenzon, and Ken Shanno

This fall, the Savage Godfrey Gallery will open its fifth exhibition Weathered Beauty. Paintings by Christine Bodnar and Suzette Lebenzon, along with sculptures by Ken Shannon, explore our connection with nature and evoke the sense of tranquility we often seek within it. With bold colors, rich textures, and expressive forms, these paintings and sculptures will resonate with nature lovers.
An opening reception will be held at the Gallery on Thursday, September 11th from 6-8 pm. We are excited to announce that this exhibition will complete Savage Godfrey Gallery’s first year in business. It has been a joy to join the Norwell business community. We look forward to hosting another year of unique exhibitions and forging new connections within the South Shore community.

Christine Bodnar’s passion for painting is deeply intertwined with her fascination with color and how it can change the mood and feeling of a moment. She is a contemporary realist with an expressive style, and relies on the light she encounters painting en plen air to set the drama of color, shadow, and the rhythm in a composition. She balances her time creating acrylic paintings, pastel on paper, and teaching. Bodnar lives in Marshfield, paints in Rockland and exhibits her work nationally.

Ken Shannon is driven to find and transform often overlooked, natural materials. Each weathered piece of driftwood holds a unique story of inherent beauty, change, and renewal. Inspired by the raw textures, organic forms, and the rich history of the ocean and its shores, Shannon engages with each uncut piece. By assembling and giving new life to these found materials, Shannon invites viewers to appreciate the art in nature’s transformative power and reflect on our own connection to environmental cycles. Shannon lives and works in Cohasset.

Suzette Lebenzon allows herself complete license to create images that interest her, crafting visual poems that express her wishes, feelings, and experiences on Cape Cod and around the South Shore where she grew up. She embraces a bold, expressive style of mark-making that is deeply tied to memory and is unconcerned with accurately representing a specific place. Recently, exploring reflective water surfaces and the surrounding vegetation has captivated her. Lebenzon lives and paints in Welfleet; she exhibits her paintings on the Cape, South Shore and NY.
