Hodgkins and Ponte at the ARTery

Posted

MILFORD, PA — The August show at the ARTery will feature works by Rosalind Hodgkins and June Ponte. Show dates will be August 11 through September 5. There will be a reception on Saturday, August 13 from 6 to 9 p.m.

For Hodgkins, the inspiration is nature. “Natural phenomena of day and night and the cycle of the seasons inspire the concepts for my paintings... I use unusual scale, invented perspective, shadows and reflections as well as symbols and metaphors to construct a narrative picture of images of nature seen from an imagined vantage point.”

Hodgkins has a BFA from Pratt Institute and studied at The New School, Art Students League and Hull College of Art in England.

Ponte says of her art, “I love to paint the faces and spirits of people that should’ve been able to live forever. I am drawn to painting what moves me, whether it’s a person, a building, a metaphysical question, or a social issue. My glasswork is a passionate blend of color and design, taken to the next dimension by the transporting effect of light.”

Ponte attended Jersey City State College and the School of Visual Arts, NYC, but is mainly self-taught.

The ARTery is located at 210 Broad St. Visit www.arterygallerymilford.com or call 570/409-1234.
