"Reflection"
Featuring
Jane Adriance
and
Debbie Pisacreta
November 5 - December 6, 2020
The Pandemic, and the resulting quarantine, forced each of us to be
isolated more. For Jane Adriance and Debbie Pisacreta, this was a time
of quiet reflection which affected the kind of paintings they produced,
and the emotions they felt when painting.
"The title of this exhibit seems very fitting for me," said Jane. "Since
last March with the pandemic 'shut down' and my isolation I needed to
stop and reflect about the life I had taken for granted. While life
seemed so sad and frightening to so many others as well as myself ... I
discovered a silver lining. In my appreciation for being alive, I
followed a dream (with no excuses now) to return to the sensual use of
painting with oils. I had been painting with watercolors for many
decades. I was ready for this challenge and new perspective.
I am hoping you will enjoy my first exhibit of these oil paintings as
much as I am grateful to have opened this door for me again."

Debbie has always found her inspiration and joy from plein air painting,
but that joy was heightened during this last six months. "I was
fortunate that I could continue to paint Plein air while still
maintaining social distancing. Painting was a respite from all of the
sadness and anxiety surrounding the Pandemic and its effects. It gave me
a chance to feel peace and to be grateful for the beauty of my
surroundings.
I am hopeful that that feeling of serenity is translated to the viewer."
