\"New<\/a>(Marcellus, NY \u2013 June 2013) From July 6 through Aug. 23, paintings, ceramics and photographs by three sisters, Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Verley Strodel, Daphn\u00e9 Verley and M B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Verley, will be on display in the Art Gallery at Baltimore Woods Nature Center, 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus.\u00a0 A reception for the show, \u201cTrois Soeurs D\u2019<\/i>\u00e9t<\/i>\u00e9,\u201d will be held on Saturday, July 6, from 6-8pm. The exhibit and reception are open to the public with no admission or parking fee.<\/p>\n

Skaneateles artist Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Verley Strodel paints colorful abstract images inspired by nature. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se works with acrylic paint on paper, using an assortment of metal combs and gel mediums to create texture. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se explains that for her, \u201cpainting is a meditative and spiritual experience akin to prayer. The juxtaposition of textured stripes creates rhythm and pattern\u2026from ocean vistas to dramatic landscapes, the beauty, color, and pattern found in elements of nature inspire me.\u201d<\/p>\n

A resident of Cazenovia, Daphn\u00e9 Verley has been creating ceramics for over 38 years. The exhibit showcases Daphn\u00e9\u2019s vibrant clay totems.\u00a0 Inspired by ancient totemic icons as well as modern figurative sculpture, these figurative thrown earthenware vessels with their striped garb and distinctive personalities embody the strength, beauty and grace of women in her life while acknowledging the shared story of women universally. \u201cClay has become my preferred means of exploring and translating what and how I see, more efficiently than words,\u201d says Daphn\u00e9.<\/p>\n

M B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Verley\u2019s paintings are a mix of images from her travels in India as well as images from a series for a book. \u00a0She is the founder and director of Studio 3 PHOTOGRAPHY, in Providence, Rhode Island. \u00a0\u00a0\u201cTo capture the essence of a person takes sensitivity and a gift for seeing deeply into the subject, as well as experience and technical expertise to create that vision\u2026.What inspires me most about photography and life, is the act of continuously finding the new in each moment, each project – discovering the poetry in each situation and being able to transcribe that onto an image,\u201d says B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte.<\/p>\n

The sisters are members of a large, creative expatriate French family.\u00a0 All three embraced the family\u2019s artistic tradition at an early age.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to have three such talented artists in one family.\u00a0 We are thrilled to welcome them to The Woods\u2019 gallery,\u201d said Deirdre Aureden, director of Baltimore Woods\u2019 Art Gallery which holds six exhibits annually.<\/p>\n
