Our next Project Local exhibition features the unique work of Maria DeAngelo. Ms. DeAngelo reflects, “Each of the paintings in this show contains scraps of my life. Some are precious, my parents’ love letters and my grandfather’s college notes, while others are more common, the bits of a mylar birthday balloon or a piece of paint stained paper towel I cleaned my tools with. The “canvas” of the works are playing cards, each collaged with life pieces held together with paint. Some I have stitched together, a skill learned from my mother, that I find myself returning to in cycles within my creative life. The stitches are a tool I used to combine the parts of these works and “draw” with line and color. When creating this body of work, I gave myself the challenge to limit the color palette of the backgrounds to five colors that I used in varied amounts in every piece in the show.”
Ms. DeAngelo’s paintings will be on display at the library from March-April. A reception will be held on Thursday, April 24th at 6:00 pm. Project Local is held in partnership with the Lake George Arts Project.
