Just Married
Love birds be sure to flock to Loading Dock Gallery this June.
Just Married at the Loading Dock Gallery from June 2 to June 27, celebrates love with art— cheerful, elegant, and inspired. Carolyn Lee Cook offers quilts and prints inspired by her son’s wedding. Betsy Keeney creates elegant jewelry to wear or gift. Laura Massei’s hand lettering supports love with words on large canvas. Vivian Rosalee adds whimsy with paintings of animals dressed for a wedding. Whether you are shopping for unique cards and gifts for the wedding party or art to enliven yours or the happy couple’s home, Just Married has something for you.
Carolyn Lee Cook prints, paints, and sews colorful art inspired by family, friends, nature, “and life in general.” Her paper airplane series in Just Married grew out of love for her son and daughter-in-law, air traffic controllers, living far away. The series includes a quilt made from fabric originally purchased for her son when he was in middle school. “
Betsy Keeney of Centre Village Studio presents jewelry suitable for weddings or any joyous event. Her pieces feature elements inspired by nature, such as lotus, cherry, and dogwood blossoms. They also reference leaves and abstract forms. Working with precious metals, particularly gold and silver, Keeney incorporates subtle texture in her designs, as well as accenting some of her pieces with pearls or gem stones.
Laura Massei of July Design marries words and color in artwork that inspires and celebrates faith, hope & love. Her work is uplifting as song. In Just Married, Massei presents hand lettered messages of love on large canvases, integrating them with joyful abstract painting.
Vivian Rosalee loves animals, real and imagined. Her Just Married pieces present animals all dressed up for the wedding. The animals, painted in ink, feel both whimsical and elegant. “Many people love animals and have pets, and they are often included in the wedding celebrations in some way. That’s why I am painting animals in wedding attire; suits, wedding dresses and flowers.
Just Married runs June 2-27, 2021 at the Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Avenue, in Lowell, MA. The gallery will host a “Meet the Artist” event Saturday, June 5, 3-5 pm.
