Edgewater Gallery at the Falls, One Mill Street, Middlebury

Victoria Blewer, Joe Bolger, Jane Davies, William Hays, Woody Jackson, Sara Katz and guest artist Carrie Ade

Vermont attracts artists of all kinds. Its natural beauty, open spaces and slower pace of living allows for creative minds of all kinds to flourish. This holiday season Edgewater celebrates our local visual artists in “Home for the Holidays”, a group show of small works. In the mediums of photography, block print, and paint, the artists will exhibit pieces that are impactful within the definition of “small works”. This genre requires that the artist edit and highlight elements of the composition in order to bring significance within a small space.Along with the participating Edgewater artists, “Home for the Holidays” will include guest artist and naturalist, Carrie Ade. Ade’s small botanical and landscape paintings on panel provide a vivid and lyrical snapshot of local species of vegetation and wildlife. She has worked for over 20 years with national parks, botanical gardens, and environmental conservation organizations nationally and internationally, helping to expand the knowledge and appreciation of, native ecosystems and merging her environmental education with art. Carrie Ade’s paintings are held in collections in the US, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. She lives and has her studio in Middlebury Vermont.
