Please join us for the opening reception of the Gretchen Feldman Art Show and benefit for the Martha's Vineyard Nonprofit Collaborative.. This show is hosted by the Feldman Family in collaboration with the Louisa Gould Gallery in Vineyard Haven.

Gretchen Feldman (1934-2008), 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.

The Grange Hall is located at 1065 State Road, West Tisbury, MA. The show will be open from 10am to 7pm daily, August 3rd, 4th and 5th. There will be both framed and unframed works available for purchase and many of these paintings have never been exhibited.

 Refreshments will be served.

10% of all proceeds will be donated to support

the Martha's Vineyard Nonprofit Collaborative.
