PORT JERVIS, NY — An artist reception will be held at the UpFront Exhibition Space from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 17 for three artists now exhibiting at the space. 

Rachel Gordon is exhibiting her painting “Purple Haze.” She works in watercolor and adds ink to introduce more dimension. 

After a career in law in New York City, Gordon found that being in a more natural environment has brought out her visual creative skills.

Joyce Lee’s “Water Lily Splendor” expresses the subtle complexities of nature, an UpFront spokesperson said. Her presentation of each image becomes a portrait of the plant. 

Lee has been studying watercolor painting for 10-plus years. 

Dani Cooney’s painting “Lincoln” is a watercolor of her beloved dog. Her love of animals and natural landscapes is prevalent in her vibrant detailed paintings. She is occasionally commissioned to paint animal portraits. 

Cooney was born in Switzerland, and her family moved to New York City, where she studied at the Pratt Institute.

The exhibition closes on Sunday, September 22.

The exhibition space is located at 31 Jersey Ave.
