Gloucester, MA: From July 15-30 Madfish Art Galleries is please to present Jamais vu, an exhibition of art by Stéphanie Williams. Held in Madfish Gallery number 5, there will be an informal reception with treats and wine this Friday, July 15 from 6:30-8:30pm (before the Prince tribute band, Lovesexxy live at the Madfish). The reception will be a chance to meet the artist, mingle with art lovers at all of the local galleries, and enjoy a reading by Margaret Young, a poet from Beverly, MA.
Born in France, a teacher, designer, beekeeper, and an emerging artist, Stéphanie Williams (currently living in Beverly) fell in love with the Cape Ann area over a decade ago. She is pleased to be showing her work in the famed Rocky Neck Art Colony.
The works on display represent Williams extensive travels, where she is never without her sketchbook. These humble journals hold some of her fondest memories and the watercolors displayed are samples of such vagabondages. As for her new paintings, she uses the wax of her own bees, oil paint and graphite, penciling, brushing, wiping, and carving. None of the work exhibited has been shown before and represents a new direction for Williams just as her new life as a mother.
This past May, Margaret Young’s second collection of poetry, Almond Town, was published by Bright Hill Press. She teaches creative writing at Endicott College and lives in Beverly.
Also on display will be pottery by Williams’ friend, Lyn Black, a potter originally from South Africa. Black “is grateful for all that has influenced her, and eager to experience and share more through her life and art.”
Good Morning Gloucester
