Event Description

Reception: Saturday March 8, 2-4 PM

Robert Abel

Bob Abel first learned basic silkscreen printing back in 1976. After a few years, he quit silkscreening in favor of other endeavors, largely because of the chemicals involved. Years later, he found ways to create the images with non toxic inks. His mats are cut from paper, by hand, a separate mat for each color in the image.

Bob's prints have been seen at numerous Big Brothers and Big Sisters craft fairs and in galleries across the Northampton/Easthampton/Amherst area.

Carl Nardiello

Carl Nardiello will exhibit digital archival Giclee prints from "The Connecticut River Series", which is his take on the natural splendor of the Connecticut River Valley. As a non-traditional landscape photographer, he is most interested in exploring ordinary moments which can be full of rich textures and inspiring visual effects.

Carl is a professional photographer specializing in high end Asian Art for museums, collectors, galleries, and publications based in New York City. His work has appeared in numerous periodicals and media as well as fine art catalogs and books. He moved to the Northampton area several years ago.

Karen Gardner - photography

Karen Gardner's focus is the natural world, which provides a richness of subjects with its endless variety of color, shape, texture, and light. Birds, and shore birds in particular, are a special interest.

Karen's other creative endeavors include landscape painting, as well as studying and playing guitar. Among her other passions are canoeing and biking, which go hand in hand with her photographic pursuits.
