SUMMARY:43.7623°N\, 69.3203°W | Nan Hockenbury\, Heidi Jackson\, Bethany Peck\, and Noel Soucy | May 3-28 at Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Loading Dock Gallery presents 43.7623°N\, 69.3203°W\, a show of contemporary New England landscape painting. In August 2022\, Nan Hockenbury\, Heidi Jackson\, Bethany Peck\, and Noel Soucy traveled to Monhegan Island\, ME. For six days they wandered the island and painted plein air. 43.7623°N\, 69.3203°W knits together their diverse interpretations of those shared days\, each artist using her own point of view to speak of the island’s rugged landscape and dramatic views. \nHockenbury paints with interlocking lozenges of color\, translating boats\, houses\, and stones in jewel-like hues. Jackson evokes nature’s fleeting beauty with textured\, expressionist strokes and gentle colors. Peck responds to her island wanderings with intuitive abstractions\, focusing on the convergence of sky and sea. Soucy offers atmospheric images\, layered in texture\, an exploration of process as well as of the landscape observed. \n43.7623°N\, 69.3203°W runs May 3-28\, 2023 at Loading Dock Gallery\, 122 Western Avenue\, Lowell\, MA: open noon-5:30 pm\, Wednesday-Saturday\, noon-4 pm Sundays. Reception 3-5 pm\, Saturday\, May 6\, 3-5 pm. More at www.theloadingdockgallery.com. \nLoading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts\, Inc.\, a 501c3.
