Opening Reception for "A Timeless World: Figures and Faces"
2025-04-18 17:30 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Ventress Memorial Library, 1837 Ocean Street/route 139, Marshfield, 02050, United States
Join us in celebration of the works by Deborah Macy, on display April 12 – May 31, 2025 at the Ventress Memorial Library. The opening reception will take place Friday, April 18, 5:30-7:30pm at Jeanne Horan Gallery at Ventress Memorial Library
About the Artist: Deborah comes from a family of artists. Her mother and grandmother were accomplished watercolorists and teachers. As a child, she drew constantly and copied her grandmother’s work. On the paternal side Deborah is related to artists William Starbuck Macy, Wendell Macy, and William Ferdinand Macy.
Deborah studied sculpture from the live model in clay, plaster, wax and bronze at Rhode Island School of Design under sculptor Robert Lamb, and she obtained a Fine Arts degree from the University of Massachusetts, though she credits her progress to her determination to learn the human face and form by holding her own studio life classes. A guiding light has been the teaching advice in her well-loved Charles Merrill Mount biography of John Singer Sargent.
Deborah’s association with The Portrait Society and her love of Nelson Shanks’ work led her in 2018 to Studio Incamminati in Pennsylvania for a workshop with artists Jeff Hein, Ricky Mujica and Natalie Italiano. Deborah was featured on the cover of SOCO Magazine that year. Since then, online study from classically trained artists Cesar Santos and Scott Waddell from The Angel Academy and The Florence Academy of Art respectively has been an inspiration.
Deborah’s figurative paintings have a uniquely feminine viewpoint. She sets up her models with lush fabrics in vintage costumes, creating a mood of repose and reflection.
Deborah has shown widely across New England, with portraits and gallery pieces in private collections. She has paintings in the permanent collection of The Old Dartmouth Society Whaling Museum and over a dozen portraits in the permanent collection The City of New Bedford.
Deborah is a juried member of The Salmagundi Club, NY and the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, NY. She is an Elected Member of the American Artists Professional League. She is also a member of the North River Arts Society, MA and the Marion Art Center, MA. Deborah has won numerous awards from the Cape Cod Art Center, Cape Cod Cultural Center, North River Arts Society, and, from the CLWAC at The Salmagundi Club

Opening Reception for "Elements of Curiosity" By Kelly Russo
2025-04-12 18:00 - 20:00 | True Grit Gallery, 38 Center Street, Middleborough, MA, 02346, United States
True Grit Art Gallery is excited to announce Elements of Curiosity, a solo exhibit by local abstract artist Kelly Russo, running from April 12 to May 3, 2025. Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, April 12, from 6-8pm at 38 Center St, Middleboro, Massachusetts, where guests can meet Kelly, enjoy adult refreshments, and experience her vibrant, thought-provoking work.
Kelly Russo, a Scituate-based artist born and raised in the Boston area, captures the dynamic balance of chaos and order in her abstract paintings. With a BFA and Masters in Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art, Kelly is a Gallery Artist at South Shore Art Center, a Juried Artist Member at The Copley Society of Art, and a Signature Member of the National Association of Women Artists. Her work, as she describes, “organizes chaos,” reflecting the joys and trials of life as a mom and artist navigating a complex world. Her bold shapes and fluid layers—conversations of color and space—reveal and conceal emotions, mirroring the daily choices we make about what to show and what to hide.
At the opening reception, attendees will have the chance to chat with Kelly about her creative process and the stories behind her pieces. Adult refreshments will be served, creating a relaxed atmosphere to explore the exhibit and connect with Middleboro’s art community. Elements of Curiosity invites viewers to engage with abstract art’s legacy, from its historical roots to its modern expressions, as highlighted inTrue Grit Art Gab!’s recent podcast episode, “Demystifying the Abstract.”

Introducing Unique Perspectives: Carole Bolsey, Gints Grinbergs, Kelly Russo
2025-03-21 18:00 - 20:00 | Savage Godfrey Gallery, 693 Main St, Norwell, MA, 02061, United States
Join us on Friday, March 21 at 6pm to celebrate the opening of Unique Perspectives featuring works by Carole Bolsey, Gints Grinbergs, and Kelly Russo. Please RSVP here.
This exhibition brings together three makers with strong and distinctive artistic voices, offering visitors opportunities to reflect on the artistic process as they take in diverse works.
Carole Bolsey paints large. Her canvases regularly measure over 5 feet and can be upwards of 14 feet. The evocative shapes of boats and barns are the subjects on display at the gallery. Used by ancient and modern civilizations, these shapes transcend time and culture. Carole depicts these structures amidst an abstracted ground, inviting the viewer to fill in the dots and transcribe their own memories and connections into the composition. Carole has taught painting at the DeCordova, Harvard University, and RISD. She lives and paints in Kingston, MA.
Gints Grinbergs is a collector. He scours metal yards for cast-o? pieces of steel to create his sculptures. Botanicals, boats, and sunbursts made of stainless steel will be on display. Inspired by nature’s geometry, Gints combines dozens of metal circles to compose a branch of apple blossoms. His works are either free-standing or sit atop stone bases. Large-scale installations by Gints can be found at the Duxbury Free Library and Union Point in Weymouth. Gints lives and works in Dedham, MA.
Kelly Russo’s intuitive abstract paintings are bright and dynamic. A mother of four and artist, her paintings depict a balance of color, shape, and action that symbolize the organized chaos of daily life. Leaning towards the landscape, her colorful paintings will be a welcome addition to the Gallery as the environment around us wakes up for spring. Kelly is a member of the South Shore Art Center, the Cambridge Art Association, and the Copley Society of Art. She lives and works in Scituate, MA.
Savage Godfrey Gallery is located at 693 Main Street, Norwell, MA. The Gallery shares a building and entrance with Coastal Chic Interiors. Gallery hours are Tuesdays 12 to 4 pm, Wednesday through Friday from 10 to 4 pm or by appointment.b
