February 5 - 28 Color Play
As we enter a new year, artists Tarja Cockell and Brooke Lambert celebrate with Color Play, a new show at the Loading Dock Gallery. This show combines Cockell’s quilts and textile collages and Lambert’s painted collagraphs, both of which are saturated with rich color.
Tarja Cockell uses dyeing, painting, and other mixed media to create intricate, textured surfaces in her textiles. She often adds stitching to enhance organic shapes and textures for her pieces. “I want to cherish the playfulness of color,” Cockell says. “In this work, I explore abstract colorations and dreamscapes with a hint of reality and a lot of space for imagination.”
Brooke Lambert makes original collagraphs inspired by the ocean and the light within it -- the light coming out of the cracks and crevices on the ocean floor, within the waves and life beneath its surface. “Even on the darkest days, the ocean has light,” she says, “and this light, for me, represents hope.”
Both artists agree that, during this difficult time in the world, it is important to hold on to those moments that give us hope, appreciate the beauty in nature, and share art. It is their hope that the colors and exploration of form in their work resonates emotionally with those who view them.

Invocation of Place
This April, representation and abstraction meet to create an Invocation of Place. Priscilla Levesque paints landscapes in the pointillist style, a technique pioneered during the late 19th century by Georges Seurat. With meticulous detail, she builds shapes from small dots of color.
Noel Soucy creates abstracts using acrylics and alcohol inks. Her work is organic, full of energy. Swirling forms fill her canvases inspired by the ebb and flow of forms found in nature. Noel uses her artmaking to stay positive and healthy during difficult times.
