NORTH END GALLERY- 41652 Fenwick Street - Blending the Elements
Cynthia Rosenblatt, Leon Russell and Karen Quam Russell are exhibiting their works together in the North End Gallery’s September Show, “Blending the Elements”. The show opens with a First Friday reception on September 3 from 5-8pm. and will run through Sept. 26.
These artists each use a different element as the vehicle for their expressive art works. Cynthia is a skilled metal worker who uses a variety of fine metals to express her emotions with jewelry, small sculptures and wall pieces. Leon Russell creates fine pieces including furniture, jewelry boxes, salt and pepper mills and spoons which are all crafted using beautiful woods that he selects specially for each piece. Karen Quam Russell paints using water—in watercolor and acrylic paintings and as a vehicle for the dyes that she uses to paint her signature silk scarves.
