Three Generations of Artistic Achievement
William H M Talbot/Joan Sangree Talbot/Constance Talbot

The show spans the abstract sculpture of William H M Talbot, a founding member of the Washington Art Association in 1952, through the wire sculptures and mobiles of his grandson Will Talbot. Bridging these generational bookends are the photographs of William’s wife Joan Talbot, the ceramics of their daughter Constance, the paintings and mixed media works on paper of their daughter Augusta, the wooden bowls of their son John, the architectural models of their son Peter, and the multi-media montages of Peter’s wife (and Will’s mother) Barbara.

The Child Within
Works by Sherrie Parenteau
On Display:
August 23 - September 29, 2013
Opening Reception:
Friday August 23rd, 6-8pm
About the Exhibit:
The pieces in The Child Within reflect a contemporary figurative style painted mostly in traditional mediums of oils and egg tempera. Sherrie's most recent series are built upon a psychological space as experienced in childhood, yet with an adult's perception. Sherrie states that "My work is not about the child's viewpoint at the time but rather a lens both experiencing it and observing it. Childhood is a time when social norms and expectations are evolving, a time of innocence and vulnerability and an acute time of social conditioning."
Sherrie's paintings leave a dramatic impression which captivates her audience - they create an experience by telling a story and emotionally engaging the viewer in a very subtle but compelling way. "Often one or more of the children in my paintings are aware of the viewer. This interaction between the viewer and the piece intentionally puts the viewer at once present and directly implicated. All adults are implicated in children's lives in some way, as children are basically hostages both willing and unwilling, necessarily but also at the whim of an adult's own imperfect psychological needs, whims, desires, fears, hopes, dreams -- both fulfilled and dashed. Painting I feel is at its best when it can speak to and through such powerful poignant moments. "
