“Throw Roses in the Rain” (mixed media diptych with acrylics on panel), by Deborah T. Colter, at Atelier Newport, though July 22.
She says:
“My work currently speaks to my infatuation with process and exploration. Painting allows me to discover places that feel both familiar and unknown. Often I feel the work arrives out of nowhere as if sent from a place beyond my knowledge. I deeply trust in the messy process of creating, with all its inherent bumps and wrinkles, which helps me understand my need to continue on this creative path.
“When a piece begins to coalesce and I feel a little shiver run down my spine, it is then that I understand the painting has taken on a life of its own.’’
She lives on Martha’s Vineyard
The Old Whaling Church , in the Edgartown Village Historic District, on the eastern side of Martha’s Vineyard. Built with whaling captains’ money in 1843, this stately landmark is considered one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the country.. The second quarter of the 19th Century was the heyday of the whaling industry, which was centered in southern New England.
