Inaugural Exhibition To Open In New Gallery02:10PM / Wednesday, February 25, 2009
In honor of the 1st Annual Berkshire Festival of Women in the Arts, the Berkshire Art Kitchen will present The Promise of Light, an exhibition featuring the most recent series of atmospheric landscape paintings by internationally recognized artist, Gabrielle Senza.
Largely self-taught, Gabrielle explains: "Drawn to Nature from a very early age, I traced raccoon tracks in the sand along the water’s edge, and drank colors from the sky. Nature has been my mother and my teacher. Through nature I found art. Through art, I found solace."
A widely exhibited artist, Senza's work is included in the collections of The New York Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Sackner Archive of Concrete & Visual Poetry, Lifetime Entertainment, Fidelity Mutual and numerous private collections around the world. She is the founder of The Red Collaborative, a creative arts initiative that empowers survivors of abuse through public art collaborations; and the Berkshire Art Kitchen, Berkshire County's newest gallery of contemporary art.
Also on view in the gallery are the whimsical abstract works of B.A.K. artists John Clarke, John Lawson, Karen Skelton and Joe Wheaton, as well as a fine collection of handmade jewelry, pots, crafts and more.
An opening reception will be held on Saturday, February 28, 4:00-6:00 pm with champagne, chocolate and live acoustic music by John Clarke.
