Featured Artist: Fran Busse

July 2nd to July 9th

My work is an expressive interpretation of what I observe. I draw inspiration from nature, particularly landscapes in New England and beyond. A branch reaching out over a pond, water washing over rocks in a stream, a sprig of grass or a change in the weather may catch my attention. The convergence of color and mood in a particular environment help to shape my work.

Once I begin, I become absorbed in the process of painting. I lay down a stroke with a brush, palette knife or other painting tool, and let that stroke lead to the next. Sometimes I wipe off what I have done and make new marks. It is an exciting and intense process. Color and mark making are key factors in expressing my creativity. As the painting continues to emerge, I am engaged and continue to respond to it. It is an interactive process.

I continue to challenge myself by pushing further into abstraction. This unexpected and dynamic process is what keeps me fascinated and engaged.

We thought it might be a good idea to keep you up to date as we continue to safely receive new pieces from our talented artists. Even though we are hunkered down you might enjoy seeing what's new and available for safe, no contact delivery, if tempted. Otherwise, we hope you at least enjoy a wonderful diversion from these stressful times. Please take care and.....Enjoy!

Due to the spread of COVID-19, the gallery will be open with limited hours and by appointment in the interest of keeping everyone safe. We encourage you to virtually visit Powers Gallery via online browsing as we will continue updating it to include many new works that have been arriving regularly. We are grateful to all of our artists who are passionate, creative, and thoughtful in their works and to our supportive customers who collect their artwork.
