SUMMARY:AIR Studio Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:AIR artists will have their first open studio and micro-gallery exhibit on first Saturday\, November 6 from 7-9 pm.  \n  \nAbout the Artists:  \nKarin Birch has been using hand embroidery and hand-stitched beadwork combined with acrylic paint as a medium for making art for 35 years. The act of hand stitching thread and beads is a slow and repetitive process that affords the space for uninterrupted thought. The act of painting is spontaneous\, in the moment\, physical movement. Combining these two opposite states gives form to endless exploration in to the mystery of being. Birch works intuitively\, mining personal experiences\, energy\, movement\, nature\, and the occasional external interruptions of politics. Karin Birch has exhibited nationally and internationally with works in the permanent collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Art\, the Renwick Gallery in Washington DC\, and the United States Embassy in Tashkent\, Uzbekistan. Her work is represented by Gravers Lane Gallery in Philadelphia\, PA\, where her work will be in a featured exhibition in October 2021 and NOMA Gallery in Frederick\, MD.  \n  \nLisa Sheirer is a retired art and design professor living in Frederick\, Maryland. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Printmaking from West Virginia University and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the University of Notre Dame. Ms. Sheirer has been creating artwork for over 40 years. \n​Although Lisa is primarily known as a printmaker\, she works in various mediums\, including pixels\, clay\, wood\, glass\, found objects\, and iron casting. Her current series “Stratum” shows land and flowerscapes painted on paper. \nLisa’s public art projects include a ceramic mural at Baltimore Washington International Airport commissioned by the Maryland Department of Transportation and a glass mural installed in the new Western MD Health System lobby. In the recent past\, Lisa has had many solo shows & was a featured artist at the Hillyer Art Space Gallery in Washington DC. Ms. Sheirer is a board member of the Frederick Book Arts Center\, and her work is represented by Jo Fleming Contemporary Art Gallery in Annapolis.

SUMMARY:WHIMSY Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:WHIMSY\, an installation art exhibition at Gallery 115 at The Y Arts Center in Downtown\, Frederick will run Sunday\, September 26th through Sunday\, January 9th\,  2022\, with an Opening Reception on Saturday\, November 6th\, 7 pm to 9 pm.  \n  \nAbout the Artists: \nHarvey utilizes an eclectic range of litter she finds on her walks and transforms it into an intriguing\, surprising cascading chandelier of objects.  Her work transforms the discarded into treasure while evoking the specter of stranger’s pasts. Additionally\, Harvey’s collection of new paintings explore the phenomena of shadow boxes and the illusion of childhood memory. \nHeather Harvey holds an M.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University in Painting and Printmaking. She is currently an Associate Professor and Studio Art Coordinator at Washington College\, Chestertown\, Maryland\, USA. She was recently awarded an Independent Visual Artist Award from the Maryland State Arts Council.  \n  \nKohnstamm’s work utilizes the ancient medium of hand-dyed wool\, an ecologically sustainable choice to create a variety of colorful biomorphic forms\, at once playful\, comedic\, and eerie. Sculptures are placed on unevenly placed platforms protruding from the wall or suspended from the ceiling evoking a theatrical and other-worldly communion.  \nOriginally from Nashville\, Tennessee\, Shana Kohnstamm is now living and working in Rockville\, Maryland.  She is a member of the Potomac Fiber Arts Guild\, Washington Sculptors Groups\, American Craft Council\, and the James Renwick Alliance.
