4 Langdon Street; phone: 802-223-8667 Enjoy a frothy latte while your eyes feast on art work by local professional, upcoming and practicing artists. Featured Exhibit: Whitney Hackett |
|
|
The work for the show is inspired by the concept of eclecticism- taking form every school of philosophy which suits oneself. It is fueled by the universe, a vast, complex and ever transforming, yet perfectly balanced system. It is dominated by colors, patterns, textures, and collections of materials that have been filtered and transformed through the artists hands. It is about the delicate balance between everything and nothing; innocence and maturity; and the fierce and pleasurable struggle between mother nature and the power of man. Whitney lives and creates art in Brookfield, Vermont where she also enjoys working with plants and learning about sustainable ways of living. |

We are great explorers some times the familiar and other times a realm not yet defined. Each of us chooses to interpret every sacred moment.” |
