SUMMARY:The Language of Presence - A Solo Exhibit by Robin Colodzin
DESCRIPTION:Robin Colodzin’s solo exhibition brings together three bodies of work: oil paintings that begin with close observation of the natural world and then depart from the immediate scene\, allowing an invented reality to emerge; cave wall paintings that draw on the texture and sensibility of prehistoric cave art\, reaching across time toward the earliest forms of human mark-making; and text paintings built from a journaling practice noting ordinary moments of sensory experience\, letting the words themselves to become visual marks. \nOpening Reception – Saturday\, May 9\, 4-6 pm\nGallery Hours: Thursday-Saturday\, 12-7pm; Sunday-Monday\, 12-5 pm

She enjoys using her creative flair in quilting and interior design as well. \nSue graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor’s in business with a focus on hospitality management and earned an associate’s degree from the Culinary Institute of America. Following her tenure as a pastry chef in New Hampshire\, Sue returned to school for a certificate in graphic design and put her talents to use as a designer in the book publishing and art publishing industries in Vermont. In early 2019\, Sue opened her own gallery and studio\, Arts Abound in Magnolia Village\, MA\, as an artistic haven for local artists. Through the gallery\, over 30 artists featured their creative works\, ranging from paintings\, hand-painted silk scarves\, silver jewelry\, and more. Sue also ran many workshops and classes featuring many of the artists. Often\, Sue would work late into the night\, painting in her Arts Abound studio. After closing the gallery in 2022\, Sue continued to offer the often sold-out painting classes\, taught by some of the Arts Abound artists. \nSue has studied under numerous artists to learn watercolor\, acrylic painting\, cold wax & oil\, and collage. Her goals for the Hammond Castle Museum sketch classes are to engage those who are new to the world of art and reinvigorate those who haven’t picked up a blank canvas or sketch pad in a long time. Sue’s philosophy on the creative process encourages you to be less concerned about the final product and instead to enjoy the journey of creativity and get lost in the moment. Once you find yourself in your work\, you may just be surprised!
