Canal Street Art Gallery is honored and excited to premier in The MELISSA RUBIN Transitions solo show, the artist’s newest body of work. Rubin creates what the artist refers to as “Essential Fabrics” through the process of weaving together shredded encaustic monotype prints. “As I shredded the prints I had created, I was rethinking my creative process. I was able to use the act of weaving [the shredded prints] as meditation and contemplation; a way to calm my mind and transcend, although briefly, the chaos that was unfolding in the world around me.” -Melissa Rubin.

Join us on 3rd Friday Gallery Night from 5-7PM and LIVE at 6PM on September 17th to celebrate in our Outdoor Art Tent and in the Gallery. Meet the artist and watch the live Artist Talk at 6PM.

CLARE ADAMS Painting With Light is a Solo Show of the artist’s most recent work. Adams uses the traditional techniques of reverse painting, enameling, and staining glass to depict a detailed view of the cycle of natural life on the farm and in the garden. Painted and stained entirely by the artist, artworks such as “Sunflower and Crickets” and “Dalias & Bees” use traditional materials and methods like silver stain, and the grisaille technique in which black paint is scratched away and color is applied on top. Starting with recycled window glass, this process requires numerous firings in Adam’s solar powered kiln, and uses modern, nontoxic enamel formulas. Each artwork is composed of many of these hand painted and stained pieces of glass soldered together in patterns inspired by quilts and are beautiful on a wall or in a window.

“It is terrific to get that feeling of calmness and a little clarity and a sense of happiness which I hope these paintings convey. They are a result of work on myself, work on settling the mind.” - Martha Nichols

“I have been a meditator since the age of seventeen, off and on. One of the things that’s done for me, I think, is to settle the mind. And, as you settle the mind a kind of glow from within happens. It can’t happen, that glow inside can’t happen until the crazy monkey settles down a little bit in the mind: the flow of thoughts that are so rapid with all of us. It just is terrific to get that feeling of calmness and a little clarity and a sense of happiness. Which I hope these paintings convey too. They are a result of work on myself, work on settling the mind.” - Martha Nichols

Canal Street Art Gallery presents: MARTHA NICHOLS Mountain Sea and Sky exhibit open April 7th, on view to the public through May 8th. The Canal Street Art Gallery is honored to share the oil paintings of Martha Nichols, one of its newest represented artists. The MARTHA NICHOLS Mountain Sea and Sky show is the artist’s second exhibition, and inaugural solo show with the gallery, in Bellows Falls, Vermont. 

“Color, light and more recently, sound are my primary interests. We are surrounded by ever changing light, color and sound as we go about our days in the landscape. I explore the vast variety of colors which I can mix, and their interactions with each new painting. The elements of the landscape or sky are used as a foundation for the design of each piece. It evolves from there until I am satisfied that some sense of glowing color has been achieved. My interest in obtaining a glow of color really comes from my meditation experience. Light and color in the landscape ultimately act as metaphors for inner exploration, as I continue to grow through meditation.” -Martha Nichols.

Martha Nichols has worked as a professional and master of the arts and humanities for six decades, with illuminative careers in literature, english, fine art, and painting. The artist's most recent work shows the subjects of mountains, sky, and ocean. Nichols’s practice focuses on light, color and movement. The artist pursues this study in a way which is not attached to the realistic portrayal of the landscape, and rather is a representation of Nichols’s journey of inner growth and travels in the spiritual realms. Nichols has studied and earned degrees at Antioch College, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Bard College, and the Self Realization Fellowship. With many notable exhibitions both solo and group in Philadelphia and the Northeast including the Southern Vermont Arts Center, Nichols’s work is in numerous museums, universities, and private collections. Since relocating to Andover, Vermont, Martha continues her life work as a professor and artist.  

Join us for Meet the Artist LIVE with your host MC Noyes as we take the show on the road and go just up the river from Canal Street Art Gallery to visit our neighbors, the Gallery at the VAULT and talk with Charles Norris-Brown about his new show there!

“The art you see here today is part of a project I have done for some time around the theme of a child discovering the forest, in this case in Vermont. It has been my hope that it could lead to a graphic novel. Whatever the case, along those lines, the art that I am showing reflects how our lives are intricately enmeshed with the world of Nature around us.” - Charles Norris-Brown

Watch 3rd Friday Gallery Night LIVE with guest artists Jean Cannon, MC Noyes, introducing Martha Nichols.
