EXHIBIT I

Martha Fieber, Ed Lazzeroni, and Sherri Thomas
Artist Reception: Saturday, May 23th, 4-6:30 pm

Artist Demonstration: TBD

Exhibit runs May 22th - July 6th

Oil painter Sherri Thomas creates expressive oil paintings that blend rich color palettes with expressive layered textures.  Her work often explores themes of emotion, memory and the subtle beauty found in everyday moments. She is deeply inspired by her direct observation of nature, often working en plein air to capture the changing light, color, and atmosphere of the landscape. 

Fiber artist Martha Fieber uses layer upon layer of hand-stitching, subtle color, and plenty of intricate details to create her complex compositions, which she titles “Landscapes in Thread.” To her, these landscapes express a connection to the outside world, and encourage the viewer to contemplate the ongoing interconnectedness of all things. Working with single strands of silk, rayon, and hand-dyed cotton threads as well as four types of stitches, Fieber seeks to achieve a depth and perspective to her work, which echoes her feeling that there are several layers to everything we see in the world.

Ed Lazzeroni - Through skilled fabrication and an artistic sensitivity to form, mixed media artist Ed Lazzeroni creates both sculptures and paintings that feel both grounded and unexpectedly dynamic.   Working mostly in metal, he treats the surfaces with etching, grinding, burnishing,  and torching techniques then enhances them with acrylic paint which allows each piece to evolve into styles of  abstraction, figurative and landscape subjects.

EXHIBIT II

Pamela Murphy and Pamela Wattenmaker
Artist Reception: Thursday, July 9th, 4-6:30 pm

Exhibit runs July 9th - August 10th

Door County artist Pamela Murphy’s work has long been focused on the artist’s collection of old photographs, whose figures she chooses as the basis for her paintings. “The people whose lives are recorded in those pictures are strangers to us—yet at the same time, there’s a familiarity,” she says. “They remind us of ourselves, our families, and our issues—on levels that are both personal and cultural.” Murphy presents her figures on rich and textured surface, with many layers of paint to reveal the history of the canvas and isolate the form of each figure. “The viewer can then bring their own specific history to the painting, so a single image can mean different things to different people,” she says. “The goal is for the viewer to find a little of themselves in the work.”

Pamela Wattenmaker - oil paintings are richly layered with texture and subtle tonal shifts that evoke a quiet sense of depth and atmosphere. Her work often explores organic forms and fluid compositions, blending abstraction with hints of natural landscapes or botanical elements. Through a refined use of color and movement, she creates pieces that feel both contemplative and visually immersive.
