Dreaming in Color features paintings and collages by Katy Ferrarone, Allison Rietta and Emily Keating Snyder. Join us on Saturday September 14 from 4 to 6pm to see the show and celebrate the Artists.
The Gallery at Yellow Studio is pleased to present "Dreaming in Color," a captivating exhibition featuring the works of Katy Ferrarone, Emily Keating Snyder, and Allison Rietta. This show explores the intersection of mindfulness, color, and geometric abstraction in contemporary art. The exhibition runs from September 14 to October 11, with an opening reception on Saturday, September 14 from 4-6pm.
In "Dreaming in Color," these three artists invite viewers into a world where meditation meets canvas. Ferrarone's circular forms and repetitive marks map the landscape of the mind, Keating Snyder's embroidered canvases blend craft and fine art, and Rietta's geometric abstractions explore mystic patterns and sacred sounds. Each artist uses color as a powerful tool to evoke emotion and presence, creating works that resonate on a deeply personal level.
Please RSVP. All are welcome.
