Colabria
Back for the Second Year!
Be part of the creation: Two artists' opposing styles and techniques come together to create pure magic. Witness their minds and be a part of art in the making during a live performance. Colabria is a duo art show by artists Mike Grandetti and Valentina Manuele. Their artwork both solo and collaborative pieces creates visual emotions of two lovers navigating life together as one battles mental illness. Live music will accompany the exhibit. Their debut last year at the Studio Around the Corner was a big success.
Mike Grandetti is from Carmel, NY. He graduated college with a degree in Commercial Arts and is currently a Graphic Designer for Excel Printing during the day and a musician at night for The Chrissy MacCullagh Band. Constantly creating throughout his day to day life. Mike is an abstract artist, seeing life in a way not many others can. His artwork comes from his passion for music and it's almost as if he converts musical notes into paint.
Valentina Manuele is also from Carmel, NY. She is a self taught artist, home health aide and mother. Valentina has been creating art since childhood. She uses saturated colors and heavy texture in most of her work. Her inspiration comes from her own battles with mental illness over the past decade and how beauty can be found in the darkest of places.

Her Nature
4 Women Artists with a Passion for the Natural World
Patricia Bolgosano worked in the photography and print industry for over 30 years. As the digital age approached it was a natural progression to learn Photoshop. Patricia honed her digital imaging skills and works as a master printer at Visual Impact in Danbury. Today she enjoys being behind the camera as well as in front of the computer manipulating images in a creative and pleasing way. She works on all her own images from photography to final print.
For Wendy Alvarez, making art is a joyful adventure, a transcendent experience driven by imagination, intuition and discovery. She enjoys the freedom of mixed media, and has worked both two and three dimensionally using paint, metal, textiles, paper and palm frond bases. Wendy Alvarez’s work is propelled by two fascinations: Nature and Pattern. She was influenced by Navajo and Apache artists, who demonstrate that art can be informed by nature and belief.
For Pallas Athene, “The natural environment is my source of inspiration and material.” Experience on family farms brought her close to fields and animals and compelled her to look at nature’s creations. She collects material from the land, respecting the environment while foraging for materials like paper wasp nests. Pallas’s aesthetic exploration evolved from collage on flat surfaces to sculptural pieces, such as musical instruments as pure sculptural form.
Amanda Lynne’s pieces are a celebration of the beauty of the natural world. Grounded in her strong connection to plants and animals, Amanda creates paintings on components of upcycled discarded furniture, and uses a variety of upcycled materials in mixed media creations inspired by the color, form and pattern of natural objects.

A meet-the-artists reception will be held on Friday, July 6, from 7 - 9 PM at the Studio Around The Corner, 67 Main St, Suite 101, Brewster, NY. All three artists came to photography through different paths, and share a passion and unique lens through which they look forward to presenting their passions. Their works can be seen on Saturdays in July and August from 10 AM - 12 PM.
Leonore Rodrigues turned to photography to satisfy her need to capture visual images, feelings, memories, and ideas. She gravitated far from the high-tech and found inspiration in more rudimentary equipment and methods: pinhole photography, plastic toy cameras, and instant film manipulation. By day, Ms. Rodrigues can be found at her official job at Westchester Community College. Her work can be seen on her computer desktop, or when she gathers her courage, on Flickr or on Internet photography forums.
Although proud of her corn farm roots, DeeAnn Donovan Blumberg dreamed of escaping the Midwest and pursuing becoming a fashion model in the “big city.” Through courage and determination, she found herself in New York City with a successful modeling career. For “Chapter 2”of her life, DeeAnn decided to step to “the other side of the camera” and test drive a career in photography, and she was hooked at the first click!!! Her photography has now become her new passion. Nature and animals, interesting people and even an occasional draft horse event, all brilliantly come to life in DeeAnn’s lens.

As an abstract painter, student of botanical illustration and a physician, Karen Schoolman is interested in the relationship between art and science. She is intrigued by an approach to the body that relies purely on the visual aesthetic. Freed from the constraints of an expected context, it has been surprising how much of a human presence could exist within a matrix of pure abstraction. See her work at www.karenschoolman.com.

Relational Perspectives:
Works by LBGTQ+ ARTISTS
J Dice and Paul DeRuvo
Prints and photographs from two LGBTQ artists.
Join LGBTQ+ artists , J Dice and Paul DeRuvo, for our June exhibit entitled, “Relational Perspectives” opening at The Studio Around the Corner 67 Main Street in Brewster, NY on Friday, June 1 at 7:00-9:00PM. Admission is free and light refreshments will be served.
J Dice is a pansexual, non binary photographer and artist. They have created a series of portraits of members of the LGBTQ+ community in an elegant, homey way to entice viewers to relate to the subjects and intrigue them to learn more about each individual. J’s exhibit includes works printed on fabric, matte paper with charcoal, and glossy photos in eclectic frames and is accompanied by their book entitled [+] which is a dictionary of LGBTQ+ terms juxtaposed with some photographs from the series. J is honored and excited to be showing at The Studio Around the Corner and cannot wait to meet the individuals who come to view the show.
“Through my art, I can only hope to spread love where there is hate, hope where there is none, acceptance where there is prejudice, and information where there is ignorance.” J Dice
Paul DeRuvo is the associate printer at the Center For Contemporary Printmaking and an LGBT artist and printmaker. Through portraiture and a background based in documentary photography Paul DeRuvo utilizes observational drawing and traditional printmaking techniques to present images of their own body and those of their intimates in the space of their daily lives. Their work explores ideas about intimacy, gender, and the transformative power of love in relationship to ourselves and others. Through the devotional act of rendering and the craft of fine printing, they hope to reclaim part of the history of representation and find expression for shared moments of compassion. 11 Prints are included in the exhibition spanning 8 years of their creative practice. Paul DeRuvo appreciates the opportunity to be showing at The Studio Around the Corner gallery and to share their work with the Cultural Arts Coalition and greater Brewster Community alongside the photographs of J Dice . Find Paul online at paulderuvo.com and instagram @sayyoudo
Additional Gallery Hours are 12:00 -2:00 PM on Saturdays June 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30.

Double Exposure:
Works by Joe Vaccaro and Fabienne Riccoboni,
Art to visualize thoughts and emotion
Join photographers, Joe Vaccaro and Fabienne Riccoboni, for a unique photography show entitled, “Double Exposure” opening at The Studio Around the Corner 67 Main Street in Brewster, NY on Friday, May 4 at 7:00-9:00PM
Joe Vaccaro is a 17-year-old photographer and filmmaker. For 4 years, he has accumulated several film awards and over 2,000 Instagram followers (@joevaccaro_). This exhibition is more than that; the collection he is sharing is artistic and self-expressive. “My goal is for viewers to relate to associate my photography to their personal thoughts and memories,” explains Joe. During the showcase, you will hear music composed to match the feeling of his photography. You’ll also be able to learn more about the pieces on display, as well as discuss digital media and art with him.
Fabienne Riccoboni, a New York-based filmmaker and photographer who is currently studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. This exhibit, “Double Exposure,” and its subset, Sehnsucht (noun: yearning; wistful longing) is a perspective on living a mindful existence - outside of ordinary life -, merely viewing, but not experiencing in a sentient way. “As this state of being is genuinely felt,” explains Fabienne, “I attempted to visualize the emotion in a way that is palpable.”
Additional Gallery Hours are 12:00 -2:00 PM on May 5, 12, 19, 26 & 27 noon-2pm.
The Studio Around The Corner is located at the rear entrance of 67 Main Street in Brewster, NY.

FROZEN IN TIME:
WORKS BY CRYSTAL KEELER
WORKS BY CRYSTAL KEELER
Art Exhibit: FROZEN IN TIME
Works by Crystal Keeler at Studio Around the Corner
The Cultural Arts Coalition is thrilled to present Frozen in Time, works by Crystal Keeler, at Studio Around the Corner.
Crystal Keeler is a local artist in the greater Danbury area, currently residing in the Putnam Lake community of Patterson, NY. She has a degree in Media Arts & Animation, and loves to explore a wide range of artistic disciplines, from animation and digital art, to painting, sculpting, soap making, and writing. Crystal has a deep passion for both science and the arts, and her work is often a juxtaposition of the two, such as combining traditional and digital 3D sculpting techniques, or abstract work mixing the effects of heat and gravity in a fast setting epoxy resin. Her latest abstract series uses this technique and others to capture a range of motions, colors and forms. From calm vistas reminiscent of a spring meadow or cresting waves on an ocean, to dynamic expanding nebulas glowing in brilliant colors, each represents a transient emotional state, frozen in time.
In addition photography by youth artist, Maxwell Likens will be displayed. Maxwell is a senior at Brewster High School and an incoming freshman at RIT for Biomedical Engineering.
Opening Reception & Meet the Artist: Friday, March 9, 7-9PM
(rescheduled from March 2 due to weather)
