Pop-Up Exhibit: Artists Supporting Artists - Autumn Garden Show

Saturday, October 3 - Sunday, October 4

Featured Artists:

Jennifer Grainer - Jennifer Grainer is a collage artist working in Upstate New York. While continuing to experiment with a variety of materials and mediums, she is most comfortable with a vintage magazine and a good pair of scissors. Although her work is made of static imagery, her topics are transient; focusing on the idea of a moment, or the inference of someone reflecting on that moment past. Her choice of older printed materials almost clash with the work’s minimalistic use of elements and stark white backgrounds, but end up adding to their surreal aesthetic, and further enhancing the notion of passed time. 

Amy Howansky - Howansky’s knitted scarves range from sequined and decorative to overly-bulky and warm.  Her beaded jewelry is sometimes whimsical, and other times sophisticated. Howansky was born and raised on a dairy farm, and now works as a professional horticulturalist and landscape  designer. Her artwork often includes natural products such as wood, bamboo, shell, bone, and animal fibers.

Tina Lincer - Tina Lincer, a painter and writer, grew up drawing, painting and writing stories on the stoops of her native Queens, N.Y. She holds a B.A. in English and Fine Arts from the University at Albany. A fervent colorist with a love of impasto and sgrafitto, Tina paints landscapes, florals, portraits and abstracts in oil. She also makes mixed media pieces on wood and small collages from recycled materials. Her work has been exhibited at the Albany Center Gallery, Martinez Gallery, Saratoga Arts, Fence Show Select, National Bottle Museum, Art Associates Gallery and other venues. Tina works full time as associate director of communications at Union College. Her essays have been published in local and national newspapers, magazines and anthologies.

Tris Paniccia -Recently retired, Paniccia enjoys gardening, traveling and painting. She has been doing pour art for about three years and each time is a stress free event. 

 Jason Schultz - Jason Schultz is a reclaimed metal artist who turns discarded and found materials into abstract and representational sculptures. Whereas others may see scrap, refuse or everyday raw materials, Jason envisions their potential for engaging art. He welds, grinds and paints to transform discarded materials into unique works of art for the home and garden.
