SUMMARY:Reception and Gallery Talk | Sandy K Cummings | Nature’s Palette
DESCRIPTION:Reception & Gallery Talk: RSVP \n  \n \nSandy K Cummings’ newest collection of colorful and expressive paper collages features flowers from her garden\, landscapes\, still life\, and a series of eight images inspired by a yoga/hiking retreat in the Swiss Alps. \nFrom a distance the collages convey as paintings\, but upon closer inspection\, the viewer will discover that the images are made of detailed\, multi-layered paper. Sandy’s collages capture the emotional essence of images near and far\, offering a glimpse into the artist’s joy and compassion for nature and everyday living. “Lush Summer Garden\,” in her flower series\, is the artist’s interpretation of the delight one feels when coming upon a burst of colorful flowers spilling over a wooden fence. Cheerful flowers in “Spring Flowers with Dogwoods and Azaleas” bring hope and excitement for new growth and light filled days. The window beyond opens up to a path toward the peacefulness of the sea and sky. \nSandy says\, “My work is a blend of realism and imagination. When constructing collages\, I select paper by color and texture as though I were choosing paint from a palette. Sometimes I find just the paper I have in mind\, but most often I improvise which lends itself to intuitive and unexpected effects.” For many of the collages in her Switzerland series\, Sandy painted broad strokes of various green hues on paper to depict the deep pine forests and sweeping valleys of the Alps.  One can see the painted paper used in the pine trees and in the foreground in “Wildflowers in the Alps” and “Horsedrawn Carriage.” In “Bernina Express” the bright red antique train is a focal point that contrasts with the greens of the trees and grass and the browns and grays of the bridge. \nThe artist wishes to share some of the simple pleasures that surround us wherever we may live or travel. Sandy focuses on subjects that can be found anywhere\, such as a house by a body of water\, freshly cut flowers in a vase\, a house across the street\, or a landscape in nature.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception | Mid Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association | Places & Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Dates: August 13\, 2026 to October 4\, 2026\nMeet the artists and explore Places & Spaces during the opening reception at Bernice Kish Gallery\, held in conjunction with the Howard County Road to the Arts. \nRSVP: https://forms.gle/rTckQb8dA6ysEf2d7 \nMAPAPA’s 2026 Annual Show Places & Spaces features paintings created en plein air by artists living and working throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. \nEn plein air is French for “in the open air” and refers to the practice of painting outdoors to capture natural light\, color\, and atmosphere directly from life. Most of the works in this exhibition were completed in a single sitting\, with artists responding to their surroundings over the course of just a few hours. Some artists return to the same location at a similar time of day to complete a painting while preserving the original light and mood.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk | Beth Higgins | Garden of Reclaimed Things
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Talk | Saturday\, Apr 29\, 2026 | 3-5 PM\nRSVP: https://forms.gle/sCFzuirxVvBY6VoX9 \nBeth Higgins is a mixed media artist living and working in Woodbine\, Maryland. She has been an artist all her life and earned an art degree from the University of Pittsburgh. She has worked as a graphic designer and home stager—always in creative fields. Covid was a turning point and led her to make her art practice her main focus. \nEmbracing the idea of using things that would otherwise end up in a landfill\, she upcycles them as art materials and transforms everyday items like soda cans\, plastic bottles\, plastic-coated wires\, and other found objects into unique elements within her work. These unexpected materials create dimensional texture and bring depth to her canvases. By incorporating unconventional materials\, she invites viewers to look more closely and discover the beauty in discarded items. \nInspired by nature\, her pieces reflect the elegance and resilience of the natural world through her distinct perspective. She uses the term Eco Art to describe what she creates\, with the goal of making art that not only captivates but also inspires people to recycle and care for the environment. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception | Anne Calamuci – The Portrait’s Ability to Reveal
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Dates: January 6\, 2026 to February 22\, 2026\nReception Date: January 11\, 2026 at 3:00 pm\n\nRegister for Reception\n\n\nAnne Calmuci’s work in conceptual portrait photography is rooted in spirituality. She creates images that explore the inner life. \n\nThe series Ageless Creativity features 24 female artists ages 55–89. The series celebrates the female spirit and reminds us that women over a certain age are still imaginative\, passionate\, and full of life. \nAgeless Creativity was created with LED flashlights using a technique called light painting. This process allows the painting of light to create a luminous\, otherworldly atmosphere. \nPortraits can capture what cannot be spoken. Anne enjoys creating images that invite the viewer to look beyond the surface.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk | Echoes of Light & Line
DESCRIPTION:A two-artist exhibition featuring sisters Hima and Nishita Jain. Though their subjects differ—portraits and landscapes—their work shares a contemplative sensitivity and a reverence for quiet moments. \nHima’s pencil portraits capture the dignity\, character\, and quiet strength of individuals from varied walks of life. Each drawing is rendered with extraordinary care\, inviting viewers to pause and connect with the depth of expression etched in graphite.’ \nAfter a successful career in IT entrepreneurship\, Hima returned to her early love of drawing and painting during the quiet pause of the pandemic. This reconnection with her creative roots reignited a lifelong passion for observing and expressing the world through art. Her current work goes beyond visual representation—it seeks to convey the spirit of her subjects and the subtle interplay of light and shadow that brings them to life. \nNishita’s watercolor landscapes evoke fleeting light and shifting atmosphere. Her work explores place as emotion—layered washes\, softened forms\, and tonal transitions convey both solitude and serenity. \nWith a focus on tonal nuance and fluid brushwork\, Nishita uses the inherent softness of watercolor to evoke emotion and place. Her distinctive approach continues to resonate with viewers\, drawing the attention of both collectors and fellow artists. \nNishita is also an art instructor\, teaching watercolor techniques to adult students at both beginner and intermediate levels.  \nTogether\, these works offer a visual meditation on stillness and presence—whether in the lines of a weathered face or the mist over a morning field. \nGallery Talk: Nov 15\, 2025 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 AM |\nRSVP required
