Opening is Saturday April 11th from 3 to 5 pm, and the public is welcome.
This popular returning event offers visitors the opportunity to view new original works from Clancy King, Leslie Peck, Leslie Parke, Irene Cole, George Van Hook, and Cheryl Horning — each celebrated for their unique approach and artistic mastery. The Invited Artists Group Show features a diverse range of styles and perspectives. Clancy King, with a master’s degree in painting from the University at Albany and two decades of teaching experience, is known for his traditional oil still lifes, portraits, and landscapes. Leslie Peck, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, brings bold animal portraits inspired by her Saratoga Springs surroundings. Cambridge-based Leslie Parke explores light, reflection, and perception through energetic abstract paintings. Irene Cole, based in Manchester, Vermont, has exhibited widely in New York and Vermont, drawing on her formal training from Skidmore College and the New York Studio School. Veteran landscape painter George Van Hook’s work captures the essence of the New York and Vermont region, while Cheryl Horning’s evocative sculptures delve into the nuances of movement, memory, and human connection.
