Join us for a celebration of the life and work of the late Hilary Sloin with readings from her newly published collection of stories and essays released by Stray Dog Collective. This collection of stories and essays gives fullest expression to the pitch-perfect humor and compassion of a writer whose work deserves a much wider audience than it reached in her lifetime. With surprising precision Hilary Sloin evokes the tangled inner lives of diverse people navigating the day to day of work, love, sex, and sanity.
Hilary Sloin authored plays, stories, and the novel, Art on Fire (Bywater Books, 2014), which won the ALA Stonewall Book Awards / Barbara Gittings Literature Prize. A native of New Haven, Connecticut, Sloin was awarded a scholarship to Marlboro College in Vermont to study writing. She lived for many years in New York City and later in Western Massachusett |

Direct and pleasurable, Dahlqvist evokes her home, "My hilltown environment inspires my work; each weaving symbolizes a specific place or feeling. Often, an image will come to me while I’m meditating, or I will have a general idea of an image when I start weaving, and it continues to develop while I work. I wish my work to be calming and healing for the observer."
Amidst her wall art exhibit, she is installing new paintings and sculptures from her husband, David Moriarty. |

Finger Paintings
Andrew Magee Raised in an academically accomplished family, Magee had an enriched artistic childhood. He focused on zoological subjects. His avian illustrations were included in a bird identification manual published by a Massachusetts Wildlife agency. Later in life, he settled on making large action paintings with organic references. He makes these with thick oil paints applied with his fingers in latex gloves. |

Ways of Seeing Selecting what to represent in a painting is a defining act. What an painter sees is specific to that person. Mishkin chooses limited details rendered in color harmony. His abstract paintings are presented along side of still life canvases. |
