Adin Murray’s sixth show, Intertidal, at Jane Deering Gallery–on view through August 20, 2023–includes a compact and glowing group of landscape preparatory drawings ($1200), oil studies ($2500), and large paintings ($8000-$12,000) focused on coastal wetlands, real and not so real, in settings familiar and still, whether fall or spring, day or night, clear or misty.
Murray hews his moon and horizon motifs inland for this new series. And why not? Murray resides and works on Cape Ann and encounters the stunning Great Salt Marsh at every bend, its constantly changing conditions a natural wonder.
Red dots: collectors have purchased ‘Intertidal’ works across all three media processes.
In the flat files, ask to see a classic new series on paper by Aaron Fink inspired by the vicissitudes of a big melty pop of juicy watermelon and abstraction that serves up a slice of life’s shifting moods. Fink maintains studios in Boston and Rockport.
Upcoming: Geoffrey Bayliss white, and black on white opens August 24, 2023.

Juni Van Dyke
“During Gloucester’s 400th anniversary, I wanted to honor many of the city’s elders with a project involving their hands — hands which have been worn smooth as gems from years of loving, caring, toiling, living. Hands wrinkled and calloused, arthritic, spotted, veined. Beautiful hands of time. My tribute unfolds in four parts—Sculpture, Drawing, Painting and Video.”
Jane Deering gallery is located at 19 Pleasant Street, Gloucester MA. Gallery hours: Friday & Saturday 1-5pm; Sunday 1-4pm and by appointment at 978-526-7248 or junivandyke@yahoo.com.

PRESS RELEASE
Jane Deering gallery is pleased to present Amy Solomon’s paintings on paper and mixed media on wood in a solo show titled Magic and Offerings opening April 28th, 2023, with a Reception with the artist on Sunday April 30th from 3-5pm. Solomon speaks about her work on paper as daily meditations in paint
“These works are made with paints, medium and inks applied to the paper with marks, dots and drips. Over the past two years this has become my form of personal daily meditation practice: a way to connect with myself through the materials. What is in this gallery are remnants of the search and process. A shadow from a dance,” and her work in mixed media on wood as frozen disintegrations. “Again, what interests me is the power contained in the materials. Objects, colors and textures come together as a visual poem.”
Amy Solomon
Amy Solomon holds a BFA in Painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Her work is in collections in the United States, Greece, and Switzerland.

LAST CHANCE!
Adin Murray : Springtime on the Marsh | Process and Place
Gloucester artist Adin Murray will be on site at the gallery drawing and painting this Saturday and Sunday and invites the public to stop in, view his work and learn about his painting process. Gallery is located at 19 Pleasant Street, Gloucester MA. Please contact the artist for visiting hours: 912-856-1407.
Our Opening Weekend is Saturday January 21st (11-5pm) and Sunday January 22nd (1-4pm) 2023 to coincide with the 2nd Annual Gloucester So Salty. George Wingate opens the season with ‘Letters / Words / and.’ In the words of an artist friend, George is a postmodernist, a minimalist, a sculptor, a poet and an all over evocator. I would add he is a wordsmith; he invigorates the mind.
Come whenever you can.
Come often during 2023; it’s Gloucester’s 400+ and there will be lots to view.
The gallery welcomes all.

As You Like It: candlelight masque & listening party with Lanes Coven Theater and new music by Scott Moore
As You Like It brings a newly-composed score to the Annisquam Village Church on Saturday,
January 21, 2023 at 7pm. Artist-in-Residence Scott Moore created the eclectic large-scale work
throughout the spring and summer, playing and recording every instrument himself. The music
brings to life the forms and gestures of Shakespeare’s beloved pastoral comedy with a fun, fresh
pastiche of styles and sounds—from absurd, neo-Baroque strings and harpsichord, to hip-hop
drums and impressionist dream folk. Originally commissioned by the Louisville (KY) Ballet, and
premiered as a ballet in August, the piece has been substantially reworked to include dialogue
from the play, delivered live by Gloucester’s rising theater stars, Lanes Coven. Conversation with
the composer will chronicle the journey from conception to premiere, illuminating the artistic
process and framing the evening’s performance. A feast for the ears and the mind, this unusual
and enchanting evening will also feature light refreshment. All are welcome; donations are
gratefully accepted, and will benefit the AVC music program.
Annisquam Village Church, 820 Washington Street, Gloucester MA 01930

CLAIRE WYZENBEEK | Still Alight
October 1 – October 30, 2022
Opening reception: Saturday, October 1st from 2-5pm
Jane Deering Gallery, 19 Pleasant St., Gloucester, MA
Works from the exhibition can be viewed at:https://www.janedeeringgallery.com/claire-wyzenbeek-still-alight
The imagery in Claire’s paintings uses life events, emotions and states of awareness as
inspirations. This awareness comes from an internal truth or a deep connection to the natural world. Color has an emotional resonance that is often the starting point of a painting. Her figures and landscapes exist in symbolic settings, painted from both memory and life. Some juxtapose opposing sensations like joy and suffering, or love and anguish. In other works, she explores a specific feeling or physical experience. Recurring themes are renewal, journeys, the female body, relationships, and the spiritual power of Nature.
About the artist
Claire Wyzenbeek holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and a Diploma (Painting and Art History) from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Massachusetts. She maintains a studio in Gloucester on Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Wyzenbeek teaches art at Yes Art Space in Beverly, Massachusetts. Her work has been exhibited in numerous shows regionally and nationally. Follow her at clairewyzenbeek.com and on Instagram @claire_skylark.

Jane Deering Gallery is pleased to present Leslie Lewis Sigler | Once Removed opening on
Thursday August 4th with a reception with the artist from 5-7pm.
Sigler writes:
“In my work I explore family objects — individual silver heirlooms that are related to one another in a single collection and, collectively, to the individual families that put them into domestic practice and social circulation. I’m interested in the histories and lifespans of these objects, their ability to reflect our own personal life stories and family histories, and the way they continue to connect us to one another in time and space.”
Leslie Lewis Sigler
The artist has a BFA in painting from the University of Texas, Austin and lives in California with her husband and two young sons. This is her second show on Cape Ann with Jane Deering Gallery, 19 Pleasant Street, Gloucester.

Geoffrey Bayliss’s recent work includes large collaged work and papier-mâché sculptures which lend themselves to the viewer’s interpretation. Playful, imaginative, strange, or referential of classical ruins, the collages and sculptures are active and energetic. Bayliss is not new to collage; but his exploration of papier-mâché is an exciting direction. The use of papier-mâché goes as far back as 200 AD with the Chinese Han dynasty; in Europe, it was introduced c.1725 as an alternative to plaster or carved wood in architecture. Bayliss earned a degree in architecture from Columbia University; his current interest in the medium of papier-mâché aligns well with his understanding of architectural elements and flourishes.
Geoffrey Bayliss, a native of Gloucester, holds a BA in architecture from Columbia University. He has studied with artist Celia Eldridge, sculptor John Bozarth, printmaker Coco Berkman, and artist Charlotte Roberts. His work is held in numerous private collections in the US. This is the artist’s 4th solo show with Jane Deering Gallery. A few words from the artist: ’Making art has been my life … My impulse to create doesn’t diminish
… It grows and develops infinitely.’ — Geoffrey Bayliss, July 2022

Gloucester . Cape Ann | modern conversations
June 9 – June 29, 2022
Opening Reception on Saturday June 11th from 3-6pm.
Artists working in Gloucester, and more broadly on Cape Ann, have a unique vision of the promontory. What is their feel for our place along the sea? And how do they wish to present it to us, the viewers of their thoughts? Each exploration of light, land, sky, stone, architecture, industry, and countless other features is singular. There is communication between artist and place; and we sense, we hear, those conversations in their art. Participating artists include: Coco Berkman . Ann Conneman . Celia Eldridge . Paige Farrell . Erin Luman . Jeffrey Marshall . Adin Murray . James Paradis . Michael Porter . Christopher Pullman . Esther Pullman . Beverly Ripple . Caleb Hershey Rulli . Juni Van Dyke.
Exhibition at Jane Deering Gallery June 2022
JANE DEERING ABOUT THIS SHOW:
My interest lies in how artists living and working in Gloucester, and more broadly on Cape Ann, express their vision of the promontory. What is their feel for our place along the sea? As they encounter it, and closely observe it, how do they wish to present it to us, the viewers of their thoughts? Each exploration of light, land, sky, stone, architecture, industry, and countless other features is singular. There is communication between artist and place; and we sense, we hear, those conversations in their art.
The New York Times recently penned the phrase to see it all anew, an apt phrase that could easily have been the title for this show.
After giving the gallery to regional artists for their own exhibitions these past months, I am happy to be back at JDG for the summer season. Join me for this first show which celebrates seeing and hearing anew this place of home.
