Main Street Gallery plans Spring Show

CAMBRIDGE – The Main Street Gallery will present “Spring Show 2023 – including New Artists, New Media,” opening May 3 and running through July 2.

The gallery has recently welcomed four new members who bring with them a wealth of talent, experience and exciting new work in a variety of media. They will be showing alongside the gallery’s other nine members.

Sheryl Southwick is a well-known, award-winning artist and arts educator from Easton. Ms. Southwick makes collages, paintings and prints and says, “Color and texture have been the main focus of my work since I began painting.” She says that a year spent in Paris and the French artist Pierre Bonnard were great influences on her art.

Bill Pavan is a woodworker from Cambridge. He will show his graceful wooden bowls, vases and pepper mills which are often accented with metal and inlays of natural materials such as oyster shells. His work, he says, “specializes in accentuating the natural beauty of wood, metal and other renewable resources.” Besides his art, Mr. Pavan has a career as a geneticist at the National Institutes of Health.

Rick Klepfer, who lives and maintains his studio in Cambridge, will show a suite of black and white pen and ink drawings of Dorchester County scenes and flora and fauna from the Blackwater wildlife refuge. He has divided his working life among his art, architecture and writing and has contributed articles and illustrations to many national publications.

And finally, David Stevens returns to the gallery after a long absence. Mr. Stevens, who has spent his career devoted to his art, was one of the original members of the co-op and at that time showed his photos of maritime scenes. The multi-talented artist will now show his abstract, wall-hung wooden sculptures, some of which incorporate stained glass.

The public is invited to meet the artists at two receptions on Second Saturdays, May 13 and June 10, from 5-8 p.m. All are invited and light refreshments will be served.

Main Street Gallery is located at 518 Poplar St. in the arts and entertainment district. The gallery is open Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. For more information, call the gallery at 410-330-4659 or visit mainstgallery.net.
