||
|
Natural beauty is what inspires me to photograph. I love to take pictures of nature, be it wild life, landscapes or flowers. I love to go out looking for flowers and fall foliage, or simply sit for hours watching loons on a lake or deer in a field. My art allows me to capture a moment in time and put it on a wall or a card to share with everyone. If I am having a bad day, all I have to do is gaze at a photo and I’m taken back to that peaceful place. |

Bold, whimsical colors and abstract flirtations give the paintings of Alana LaPoint spunk and life. The monsters and ladies that appear frequently in her paintings are inspired by the endless doodles that have accumulated over her years of schooling. Compulsions to doodle the same characters again and again have seeped into her paintings, which harbor many of these patterns. Working mainly in acrylic, Alana is very interested in the behaviors of different media and loves to experiment. |

Phoenix Rising 34 State Street; phone: 802-229-0522 Art shows are held in a unique artist’s venue at Phoenix Rising, a delightful new age gift shop in the heart of downtown Montpelier. Featured Exhibit: Celebrate Art and Life - Group Cancer Survivor Show |
||
|
Surviving cancer is a challenge regardless of the diagnoses. Survivors want to get on with life after their cancer journey, rarely recognizing the range of internal resources it took to get through it and not understanding the long-term implications for surviving. There is no place for survivors to speak about, to acknowledge, to learn about or celebrate their cancer survivorship. This show represents a range of artistic expression. “There is a terrible and awesome tension between making art and having a disease like cancer. The natural harmony between creation and destruction feels profoundly disturbed. As a cancer survivor, making art fuels my battle with the threat of personal destruction and provides joyous and powerful expression for my continuing wish to create.” – Anonymous artistic statement |
