SUMMARY:Portals of Imagination at Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The power of imagination is explored and celebrated this March by the Loading Dock Gallery with its new show\, Portals of Imagination featuring the inspired works of John Dunkelberg and Debra O’Connell. \nThe combination of Dunkelberg’s fantastical photography and O’Connell’s storytelling through traditional\, digital\, and multi-media art challenges the art lover’s perceptions\, using the power of imagination to transport them to new insights\, locales\, times\, or even other worlds. \nJohn Dunkelberg uses his photography to create extraordinary visuals with inspirations that range from the Pre-Raphaelites to the artists of the golden age of fantasy such as Frazetta and Vallejo. John’s fresh and innovative work takes the viewer on a journey of the senses. A member of the Hudson Art Studios\, in Hudson\, Massachusetts\, John shoots much of his primary photography there. \nDebra O’Connell uses a combination of painting\, drawing\, printing\, paper collage\, and mixed media to express the impressions she receives regarding the ever-changing facets of life\, communication of thoughts\, feelings\, emotions\, and personal memories. Her artistic storytelling is highly relatable to the viewer. Debra’s artistic home is Nova Art Studios\, N. Chelmsford\, Massachusetts\, and her home studio Chelmsford MA. \nPortals of Imagination provides an opportunity for viewing artwork that is multifaceted\, abstracted\, and representational all at the same time playing with color and imagery in a way that is both intentional and intuitive. We invite you to join us and enjoy this wonderful\, unique art show experience. \nPortals of Imagination runs March 2-27\, 2022\, at Loading Dock Gallery\, 122 Western Avenue\, in Lowell\, MA.  Loading Dock Gallery is open noon to 5:30pm\, Wednesday through Saturday\, and noon-4pm on Sundays. Join the artists for a reception 3-5pm\, Saturday\, March 5\, during Western Avenue Studios monthly open house\, which runs from noon-5pm. \nLoading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts\, Inc.\, a 501c3.

SUMMARY:Watercolor: Controlled Chaos
DESCRIPTION:Watercolor has a reputation of being hard to control\, with precision and detail difficult to attain. In this course\, Lowell-based illustrator and painter Ashley Eisenman will help students to “learn to let go” and embrace watercolor painting as expressive\, versatile\, and fun. Through a varied set of classes\, students will gain skills in the fundamentals of watercolor painting and composition\, sketching\, color mixing and choice\, and how to create representational pieces from abstract beginnings. Students will be encouraged to experiment with a variety of subjects including abstract expressions\, portraits of humans and animals\, and pop-art. \nInstructor: Ashley Eisenman \nCo-instructor: Emily Watso \nRequired materials: Wear a mask\, sketchbook\, favorite personal brushes or paints\, & clothes you don’t mind getting messy\,  snacks\, and something to drink. \n*Please inform us in advance of any food allergies. \nDue to new health and safety concerns\, we ask that students come to class with a mask. We will provide hand sanitizer and wipe down working areas with disinfectant before and after class. Shields and limited class sizes will also be implemented during this time. We ask that if your child or a household family member does not feel well to be open and communicate with us about your child missing class as a precautionary measure. Restaurant rules apply for snacks and drinks… students will be allowed to eat and drink at their work space but must wear masks when traveling through the studio. \n  \n
