Rachel Gloria Adams, “A Joy.”

In her intimately-scaled, directly observed paintings, Marilyn Turtz depicts time passing through a shifting landscape. As NY Times art critic Helen A. Harrison writes, “Ms. Turtz has perfected the art of distilling a scene’s essence without getting bogged down in fussy detail. She has an especially sensitive way with atmosphere, catching with equal skill mist over morning fields, afternoon’s golden glow, and the lengthening shadows of evening.” Turtz received her BFA from Pratt Institute and MFA from Brooklyn College, where she studied with Lois Dodd, Phillip Pearlstein, and Lennart Anderson.

Marilyn Turtz, “Saturday Morning.”

Rachel Gloria Adams is a multi-disciplinary artist who works across mediums, creating paintings, murals, quilts, and graphic and textile designs. She brings a passion for color and bold, clear patterns inspired by motherhood and the natural world to all her work. Her recent pieced-and-sewn textile pieces, with their striking, abstract compositions, honor the celebrated quilts made by the women of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. Her work is in the collections of the Farnsworth Art Museum and the Portland Museum of Art, where she was included in the recent exhibition, As We Are, showcasing emerging talents in Maine art.

Hannah Secord Wade, “Under A Different Sun, 2.”

Hannah Secord Wade paints lushly layered, imaginary landscapes that transport viewers to her fictive worlds. Working from representation to abstraction and back again, a process of containment and release she refers to as “representation being eaten by abstraction,” her imagery is built slowly over time. Wade received her MFA from Chelsea College of Arts in London and her BFA from Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. Her work is in the collections of the Farnsworth Art Museum and the Portland Museum of Art, gift of the Alex Katz Foundation.
