Gretchen Feldman ART BENEFIT SHOW Reception 

Monday, August 3rd
The Grange Hall, West Tisbury
5 - 6:30 PM

Please join us at the opening reception for the benefit show of the artwork of Gretchen Feldman (1934-2008). This show is hosted by the Feldman Family in collaboration with the Louisa Gould Gallery in Vineyard Haven.

The show will be open August 3rd, 4th and 5th - with extended evening hours at the Grange Hall in West Tisbury. There will be both framed and unframed works available for purchase and many of these paintings have never been exhibited.

Gretchen Feldman, a former textile conservator, was born in 1934 in Philadelphia, PA. She lived and worked on Martha’s Vineyard, MA, from 1985 to 2008. Her work was strongly influenced by the seasonal moods of The Vineyard, as well as the changes in her garden and the landscape surrounding her studio. A lifelong fascination with the rich textures and colors of textiles, particularly quilts, can be seen in her brilliantly hued semi-abstract works on paper. These paintings, with her signature balance of shape, form and powerful color, combine layers of transparent and iridescent watercolor with thickly applied, opaque layers of crayon, colored pencil and pastel. Her work has been shown extensively in the United States.

 Refreshments will be served.

10% of all proceeds will be donated to support the Martha's Vineyard Nonprofit Collaborative.
