Blue Liberty

Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the country as well as internationally including the Berkshire Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum

Cindy Mager
Spirit Guided Artworks acrylic wash canvases
June 8 - July 27 Cindy Mager, a New Englander, taught herself to paint while living in Texas, where as a young woman, she was diagnosed with mental illness, as she self-disclosed in her frank and honest artist's statement. Piecing together what life balance she could, she used her skill to produce hundreds of artworks, instructed by supernatural entities. The gallery experience reminds me a little like a resonate feel with the work of Hilma af Klint.

Paul Andrew Powell
Mixed Artworks Paul Andrew Powell is the author of the books Zen and Artificial Intelligence, and other Philosophical Musings by a Student of Zen Buddhism (Cambridge Scholars’ Press, 2019); TUNA in POODERVILLE: a screenplay (2020), and The Reality Mechanic (2020): available on Amazon Books and other outlets. The artist states,... "Much of my work is influenced by my interest in Zen Buddhism and Postmodernism. Like Zen, it strives to be understated yet evocative; like Postmodernism, the recognizable is purposefully decontextualized. Just as meditation seeks to deconstruct the representational self, my work seeks to deconstruct the act of observation by asking “What does it means to be an observer?” |

Celebration of Life
CHARLES MILLER
(November 13, 1931- June 26, 2024)
Benefit sale of paintings
Mr. Miller passed June 26 in the arms of his life friend. He was born in Connecticut, moved to New Hampshire, then studied art in Boston. He came to Northampton in the 70's where he has lived out his life. Consider that he lived through the Great Depression and World War II and all of humanities failings of the twenty-first century and these events shaped his artistic vision. Charlie's expressionistic style was focused on man's inhumanity to man. He believed that it is the role of the artist to challenge the dominant paradigm. His vision-informed work addressed not only human conflicts but also Earth's growing contamination. He had a transcendental side too, though. His Deep Space Series recorded hours spent exploring the universe from his back sill and powdering the power of the life-giving sun. This month we feature a limited view of his work. Later this year, in November, we will stage a celebration of life for the 92 years of this artist. Charlie Miller was a believer in the mission of NEVA museum and it's predecessor, Anchor House of Artists. Here, we own him thanks. Opportunities to affordably purchase his work to the benefit of the New England Visionary Artists Museum are available now according to his wishes. A much more in depth exhibition is planned for November 2024. His obituray is found at this link→☀️ |
