Carolyn Dickey - Mixed-Medium, Glass
Making glass art is challenging. It is a long process of choosing colors and glass types and firing schedules. There are unimaginable possibilities and combinations and that is exactly what is so fantastic about the glass. Recently my love of color and texture has inspired me to add fabric collage to my portfolio. I find that moving between disparate forms of creative expression allows the back of my brain to come up with solution I that is blocking my progress in a particular direction. It keeps the energy flowing and my hand warm.

Julie Hedrick - Painting
Julie Hedrick is a Canadian artist known for her abstract and vibrant oil paintings. Through the span of her career, recurring elements are visible in her paintings; yet they consistently experience artistic evolution, resulting in a coherence that is highly unique. The work is a direct effect of her open and spacious studio, housed in an old church chapel, operating as a temple of meditation and creation.
Hedrick’s art displays a characteristic peeling texture - a tactile, terrene, and humane quality that belongs to the visible and material world, connecting to the environment and human senses. Another notable quality is the nature of her paintings, visual poems of an exquisite delicacy and a bursting energy. They combine in such perfect harmony, that they achieve a rare and personal expressive power beyond words and images. The works become part of her meditations on nature, the earths’ spiritual planes, and the collaborations with her husband, musician Peter Wetzler.
There is also a color property that evolves in a directly parallel way to Hedrick’s artistic and personal development. In her early series, the colors have a shaded appearance, almost like a nebula in constant flux; however in recent years, she has used a more solid application of color, tending to a monochromatic essence. Hedrick often choses the predominance of a primary color, according to the perceptions she receives from the moment we live, in connection to that particular color.
Hedrick’s compositions have an ancestral sensitivity, the painting of universal concepts that goes back to the origins of humanexistence. She easily achieves a connection with the spectator, through works and concepts that are deep but unaffected, direct, natural and transparent.
Born in 1958 in Toronto, Canada, Julie Hedrick now lives and works in Kingston, New York. She is a Graduate of the Painting Studio Program, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD). She also studied anatomy and physiology, and has been writing poetry since 1990. Hedrick has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Canada. She has also participated to great acclaim in performances, poetry readings, set designs and discussion panels.

My City in Focus - A student photography exhibit
About the Exhibit: My City in Focus is a photography program developed by local Kingston photographer Joe Gonzalez. The program is designed to help introduce students in grades sixth through eighth to a wide range of photographic concepts including framing, composition, subject matter, and light & shadow. Living in our home cities or towns we sometimes lose sight of the beauty that surrounds us. Part of the goal of the class was learning to slow down to look at an object with a more critical eye and find visual interest in everyday scenes that we might otherwise pass by. Students applied these concepts within the school, around the surrounding area, and while away in the wider world. On exhibit is a selection of work curated by the student artists.
Participating Artists: Dylan Branford, Alera Brodhead, Evie Byrne, Kenoni Clerici, Anna Lasecki, Madison Liebel, Audrey May, Tess Gallo, Nadiah Schoonmaker
