About the Artist
Growing up on the Massachusetts coast instilled in Jaynia Matherwiez a lifelong appreciation for the water, a theme that deeply resonates in her abstract seascapes. Following a career in educational publishing and web design, Jaynia rediscovered her artistic drive in 2022. Her paintings, often created with palette knives and brushes, utilize a rich spectrum of blues and greens to evoke the ocean’s spirit. Beyond seascapes, she also explores intuitive abstract and mixed media pieces. Connect with Jaynia and view more of her art on Instagram.

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.

Artist Statement: Capturing fleeting moments of majesty and beauty of the illuminated landscape have been a lifelong motivation and inspiration for me. I strive to capture in my landscape paintings not only a unique sense of place but also the emotional experience of the illusive and ever- changing effects of light that can only be experienced by the direct observation of nature. I can’t remember a time when I was not compelled to create art. As a child, my greatest joy and love was sketching, painting and experimenting with different art mediums, trying to capture the essence of the world around me. I pursued my passion in college, earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting, which I supplemented with training from Boston area painters whose work I admired, including Alfred Chadbourn, Charles Sovek, and painting master, Michael Keane. My chosen medium has always been oils, whether working on location “en plein air”, observing nature firsthand, or doing larger work from on location studies in my studio, my goal and motivation is always the same, to capture the glorious and fleeting dramatic moments of light and shadow on landscapes and cityscapes. I enhance and revise my color values, shapes and tones until my painting reflects the initial impact and mood of the scene in front of me. I want the viewer to feel as if they can walk into my paintings, stand beside me and experience the same joy and wonder at the beauty of our natural world. I am inspired daily to capture with paint and canvas the beauty, drama and luminosity of the world around me.

“Shared Realities”
a collection of works by Artist Kerry W. Buckley

Artist’s Statement
My lifelong passion for painting and drawing became a full-time obsession when I retired from academic life in 2013. I look upon art as more of a craft. For me, the work itself is a form of meditation. It is a creative process that absorbs the heart and hand. My landscapes tend to reflect seasonal changes on the outer cape from the brooding tranquility of an autumn afternoon to the off-season, when the bones of the landscape are laid bare. There is a quiet dignity to these empty places. They are unoccupied but not abandoned. They lie in wait for the next cycle to begin. I am drawn to liminal spaces, a portal to somewhere else. I do not try to capture reality, but a mood, the fleeting light of a solitary moment. My still life paintings explore the rituals that give meaning to the random contingencies of life or the ambiguous innocence of childhoods past. There is a whimsical wistfulness about these mementos that evoke a lost time of wonder and delight. I seek to engage the viewer with a shared human emotion and a slice of lived experience preserved from the relentless flow of time.
