Martha Zola is a painter whose credits include a show at the Parrish Museum, Southampton, a solo show at the Sylvia White Gallery on Prince Street in Manhattan, and a show at the Cornell Medical Library on First Avenue in Manhattan. She has won scholarships, grants and awards for her artwork. Zola has had numerous shows of her work in the Hudson Valley region, including most recently at City Hall, Newburgh. She has taught art at Suffolk County Community College and is currently an adjunct teacher of art at Orange County Community College. Zola studied art as an undergraduate at New York University, completed her MS at Stony Brook University, and earned her Ph.D. at Hofstra University, where she developed a statistical model to identify the gifted in art. Her research was published in Studies in Art Education. The show includes nine major new paintings, and they encompass abstract and generic observations about life’s movement, growth, and exploits. The artist attempts to comfort the viewer by acknowledging the singularity and also the ultimate isolation of each life. Color is saturated and images are flowing and energetic. Three of the show’s paintings pay homage to masters who have influenced Zola’s work.
Stuart Sachs is a sculptor and new media performance artist working in metals, woods, and stones to create sculpture and site-specific performance installations. He uses the raw materials and detritus of industrial society, forging them into lyrical objects that embody the sounds and dance of life. Objective reality is focused through the repetitive detail of society and overlaid on our landscape as the viewer is ushered into the work of art as a performer. Site-specific sculpture guides the viewer into the landscape from the raw material and back into the grit of the City.
Meadow’s work is constantly redefining and refining intimacy and emotional relationships between herself, her materials and her visual language. She strives to remain vulnerable and experimental while including a graceful marriage of symbolic and ancient references. She has an MFA degree from George Washington University, Washington DC, in Ceramics and Design and an MFA degree from The University of Wisconsin-Madison, in Sculpture and Jewelry. Her undergraduate degree is from The Massachusetts College of Art in Boston in Ceramics. Meadow’s extensive background as a college professor assisted her as founder and director of Artplace in NYC, SoHo’s famous artist community, which she ran for thirteen years. Her experience as a product designer led her to design and manufacture over two hundred products which were distributed and sold worldwide. Meadow is now a full-time resident in the Hudson Valley, and along with being a busy working studio artist, she is again involved with developing artist communities. For the past couple years she was the Director of Barrett Clay works, Art Studios & Galleries in Poughkeepsie, NY, assisting them with revamping the artist work studio program, curating the gallery shows and teaching.
