Lonny Jarrett

My initial memory of awakening to the creative impulse was hearing the first chord of the Beatles, Hard Day’s Night, when I was six years old. I knew something big was happening at that moment, and I had to get on board! I began studying at the Guitar Workshop, the first guitar school in America. I’ve performed music most of my life and play jazz fusion with my band Redshift.

My interest in photography blossomed as an electron-microscopist publishing neuro- and molecular-biological research out of UMASS/Amherst and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx in my early 20s.

As a lifelong meditator, martial artist, musician, and photographer, everything I engage with comes from the same unified intention toward engendering the true, the good, and the beautiful. I endeavor to capture the light that seeps through everything in landscape and nature photography.

MY NEW HAT SERIES #5 MARY DAVIDSON

SOLO SHOW AT HOTEL ON NORTH RECEPTION MAY 5, 5 - 8PM

Mary Davidson has been painting regularly for the last 16 years. Davidson’s paintings are a twodimensional decorative visualization of line, color, design, shape, patterns, and stamping. As you begin to study the paintings, you will find that the foreground and background tend to merge with overlaid patterns. “I love the intense complexity and ambiguity of space and dimension.”. The effect can be startling: the longer you look at the piece, the more you see.

Davidson’s New Hat series consists of 70 paintings. “I start with a basic drawing, building with color and shape, coming to life with gesture and flow. As the title suggests, the hats are important, and the millinery designs emerge. There is much joy in their creation, and my passion for playful designs is reinforced by their bright colors, linear rhythms, and patterns leading our eyes around and through the painting. My newest series is even more abstract, with an even stronger emphasis on design. I do like to use stamping, along with painting, because I love the result. When I finish with a painting, I adhere the canvas with mat gel to gator board, creating a nice tight surface. My paintings are always framed.”

J. DAMIANI GALLERY RETURN TO HILLSDALE

After two decades and two different gallery spaces, the J. Damiani Gallery has left Warren Street in Hudson. It is returning to its roots in the new gallery, which opened on April 1 in a recently renovated space just behind the IGA supermarket. According to Managing Director and gallery coowner Juliette Crill, the return to Hillsdale has been planned for a while.

“The timing for our relocation has been optimum. We were one of the early participants in the Hudson art scene. The J. Damiani Gallery opened its doors in 1998. Through the years, we watched Hudson become a keystone in the burgeoning Hudson Valley gallery movement, but our roots have always been in Hillsdale. This new gallery space became available, and it felt right to make a move. We look forward to becoming a member of the Hillsdale creative community.”

Artist and gallery co-owner Joan Damiani has been painting the beauty of Columbia County for over 25 years. “I love to reimagine the rich, rural landscape of our area and scenes of everyday activities of ordinary people. I look for how shadows and light interact with their environment and capture the fleeting moments people forget to remember.”

Reviewers have referred to Damiani’s style as that of an American Realist painter. Whether it be the quiet serenity of a seascape or barn at sunset or the examination of intricate details in urban architectural scenes, Damiani elevates and creates subdued drama out of commonplace subjects.
