South Shore Art Center features North Shore artists Coco Berkman, Pia Juhl and Juni VanDyke #CohassetMA

Posted on by Catherine

The South Shore Art Center press release for September/October 2020 exhibition:                     

From North Shore to South Shore…Gloucester Comes to Cohasset 

Featuring three artists: COCO BERKMAN, PIA JUHL, JUNI VANDYKE

Cape Ann artist printmaker Coco Berkman creates images that delight her and hopefully others through the process of linoleum printmaking. Inspired by literature, the natural world, and the free play inherent in drawing, Berkman uses sharp Japanese tools to carve images into sheets of linoleum and then prints them one color at a time over several months to complete an edition. A member of the Boston Printmakers, Berkman’s work is represented by 13 Forest Gallery in Arlington and The Square Circle Gallery in Rockport. 

Pia Juhl, is well known for her light filled paintings depicting quarries and giant rock formations indigenous to her surroundings.  She has had numerous exhibitions in Europe and on Cape Ann including Jane Deering Gallery.    

Juni VanDyke will exhibit paintings related to her connection with Gloucester.  “The Cape Ann landscape is a subliminal force directing my art and tethering me to a love of color and the infinite configurations of abstraction.  Traveling to my work in Gloucester, I cross over the elevated Annisquam Bridge where below the sea is an ever changing miracle of patterns and light holding promise for later.”   VanDyke’s work is held in the permanent collection of Cape Ann Museum.  Her work is represented by Jane Deering Gallery, and throughout the US by Room and Board, Inc.

The exhibition continues through October 30th.

The South Shore Art Center is located at 119 Ripley Road, Cohasset

A CBD Dosing Guide

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Angel Wings Wellness's avatarCape Ann Wellness

Dosing CBD can be a bit tricky at first. However, there are some standard rules to follow when trying to identify the correct amount to take.

Firstly, they always use the phrase “low and slow” when it comes to CBD usage. With the exception of severe pain management, most ailments can be managed with minimal amounts of these supplements. While it may take a few days for the CBD oil to build up in your system, the amount is less important than the consistency and regularity of taking it.

Additionally, when CBD is supplemented in low amounts, it acts as a stimulant. Alternatively when used in large amounts, it produces a calming effect. Therefore, if you’re having trouble with sleeping, make sure not to take too little an amount. On the other hand, if you are dosing with CBD in the morning, try not to take too much.

Finally, it…

Anyone Missing a Tuna Head?

Posted on by Nichole S.

Because when you live in Gloucester, and you’re 11 years-old, and you go fishing down by the Annisquam River, you should expect to find a petrified tuna head, right?

There’s always a lot going on down at the back shore and yesterday was no exception. I thought some of you “from away” might enjoy a reminder.

Post Labor Day — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Labor Day is already in the rear view mirror.

Half Moon Beach in Stage Fort Park is a hidden gem
Before COVID-19, this was to be the Youth Sailing Program float
Better casting when close to the water
But you take the consequences
Didn’t realize Snapping Turtles hatch in Aug-Sept
Typically a long and dangerous walk from nest to water
Could this be Mom or Dad? (June encounter)

1st Day of School

Hi Joey,

Here is something that will bring back school days memories. Free book covers from the Co-op.  Note the 4 digit phone number.  I found these in my workbench drawer – used as liners years ago by a previous owner.

Look forward to your daily email. Thanks.

Ephemerata | a timeline of creation and change
works by Deborah Brown

 

The highly textural paintings (12×12 and 8×8) have occupied my impulsive hands for several years (2008-2020). What started as an inquisitive exploration of materials and depth became the challenge of transforming a flat surface into a three-dimensional abyss. An additional challenge was to transform the restrictive visual enclosure of the square to a dynamic metamorphic journey. Primal materials such as earth pigments, charcoal and volcanic ash reiterate the grit of progression, stasis and ultimate demise. — Deborah Brown

 

Deborah Brown studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and has exhibited her work throughout the United States. She is intensely private so you will not unearth her presence on Social Media; not a philistine, just a hermit. Having spent considerable time in Alaska, she now continues her art practice in her recently adopted home of Gloucester MA. 

 

I see my work as visceral and evocative, an embedded imprint on the limbic brain, relentlessly touched, molded, scraped and scattered with earthbound dust. And with a certain threatening charm to engage and provoke the viewer.

Gloucester Teens Create Campaign Encouraging People to Wear Masks

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey –

I’m writing to make you aware of an amazing campaign that has been developed by a group of teenagers from Gloucester to promote the importance of wearing masks.  This small group of teens are peer leaders in the Gloucester Youth Leadership Council (GYLC), and they saw that some members of their community – young and old – were not taking the mandate to wear masks when in public places seriously.  They decided to do something about it by showing that masks not only help prevent the spread of COVID-19, but can also be fashionable and cool, no matter your personal style or aesthetic.  They have created a series of posters featuring a wide range of people of different sizes, shapes, and ethnicities, all wearing masks. The tag line for the campaign is “Just Wear It.  Masks Are For Everyone.”  It is important to note that the campaign is completely youth-created: GYLC members did all of the sketches that appear on the posters themselves, and they even hired an 18-year old New Jersey-based graphic designer who worked remotely with them to design the layout and digitize their artwork.

Posters are being printed in 5 different languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and Italian.  The group is also producing a banner that will be hung in St. Peter’s Square as well as providing the artwork by PDF so businesses that want to print them on their own can do so. They will also be distributed and hung up in all of the district’s schools, by request of the superintendent. I have attached a few examples of the posters (two in English and one in Spanish) which will be hung up around the City this week.
