Pigmented pulp painting. Classical musician, fiber artist, and self-taught papermaker, Deborah Sharpe-Lunstead only began drawing in 2004, while living in Sri Lanka. Upon her return to the states in 2007, Deborah discovered her true artistic voice while combining her pulp paper technique with her newly honed painting and drawing skills. To learn more about her pulp painting techniques and twenty-five years of extensive travel, click here.
 Gail Sauter, 'Her Place'. Oil on canvas.  Gail Sauter, 'Splish-Splash'. Oil on canvas. Striving to capture the extraordinary in the ordinary, Gail Sauter paints to emphasize the importance of remaining present, awareness of fleeting moments, and to capture the images that stay in her mind's eye. Learn about the mystery of Gail's ambiguous details and foundation of memories within her work here. Both Deborah and Gail are part of our current show, Virtually Abroad, an exhibit featuring views and travels of exotic lands from six New England artists. On display until April 10.

 'Cortona' Oil on canvas, 36' x 30'  'Assisi I' Oil on canvas 30' x 24' Ray Brown's current collection of paintings are a reaction and relation to his surroundings, most specifically Tuscany and its hill towns, which he recently toured. Brown's painterly concerns with his process, freedom from routine, and paint application have led him to create a change in the structure of his compositions, resulting in the collection of abstracts we now have in the gallery.

Lately at Edgewater we've been receiving a steady flow of new artwork and crafts, causing us to "ooh" and "ahh" daily as we tear open boxes, carefully pull away bubble wrap and scrunch layer after layer of tissue paper underneath our eager fingers.
We're beginning to prepare the gallery for "The Sharing & Giving Season", building new displays and, soon enough, hanging our new exhibition. Not only does November mark the beginning of a festive season, it also happens to be the month of our birthday. We will be celebrating our first anniversary, and we're going to do it in style.
On Saturday, November 20th, from 5-8pm, we're opening " p e t i t e " , our first annual small works show, and we'll also be throwing a birthday party to thank all of you for making this first year so fantastic, for your continued support, and for your overwhelmingly positive response to Edgewater Gallery and all of its artists and artisans. " p e t i t e " will feature a large percentage of our artists, and it also features the gorgeous, and though not petite, yet appropriately titled watercolor, "Birthday" by renowned watercolorist Mary Whyte, a new artist-gallery relationship we're very excited to embark upon.  Mary Whyte, 'Birthday' watercolor on paper, 28.75' x 21'
We're looking forward to seeing you soon! The new work in is as exciting and tasty as the cupcakes we will enjoy on our birthday celebration with you.

 'Flight' Josh Axelrod. 28' x 34' color photorgaph with hand-crafted frames.
Vermont photographer Josh Axelrod finds inspiration in the natural landscape-be it in Vermont, on the Pacific coast, in Alaska or in the Peruvian Andes--and in the magic of a particular convergence of light, pattern, sound, color and texture. He frames his work in reclaimed wood, carefully-chosen to suit each photograph.
