Affinities

Pictured: “Cup of Tea” textile art by Donna Melanson and ceramics by Mary Morazzi-Henderson
6 Bridges Gallery presents “Affinities,” an exhibit in which our artists work in pairs to explore similarities in their art. The commonalities explored range from subject matter to color, texture, inspiration, nature, form, design, the interplay of dark and light, and the beauty of everyday objects. Some of the artists have created new works for the exhibit; others have drawn on existing work or collaborated on a joint piece.


The exhibit is on view August 23 – October 5, 2019, with a reception on September 7 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. We invite you to visit the exhibit and see for yourself the connections among the works of these talented artists…


Julie L’Heureux, Photography & Ernie Stonebraker, Painting
Julie L’Heureux and Ernie Stonebraker find that objects barely noticed in our day-to-day existence can be beautiful or joyful or haunting when arranged and then rendered onto a flat surface with a camera or a brush.

“Dark Beauty”:  Donna Shapleigh’s and Gail Erwin’s work invites the viewer to look beneath the obvious and to contemplate the dark side of the spectrum.  


Mary Morazzi-Henderson, Ceramics Donna Melanson, Fiber
“Cup of Tea”: There’s a noticeable likeness in Mary Morazzi-Henderson’s and Donna Melanson’s art as they both make similar color choices and often use simple repetitive designs. They regularly enjoy taking a break from their work, with a cup of tea, to chat and relax.
