Using mirrors to help them blend\u00a0into their surroundings, the mirrors create an illusion, showing off their power by changing the\u00a0landscape. Forrest is currently a teaching artist at the Brooklyn Museum, the Newark Museum,\u00a0Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, and Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.<\/p>\n<p>Christine Heller\u2019s early interest in dance has led to a life-long focus on the human figure\u00a0as alter ego, guide, symbol, and source of energy at intersections of the personal, political, and\u00a0social. Drawing everything from hip hop dancers to soccer players, Heller\u2019s paintings interpret how body language conveys despair, elation, and anger. Heller\u2019s career has <!--more-->included\u00a0installations, paintings, and large murals. In recent years, she has completed murals in Key\u00a0West, Fla.; Denver, Col.; Roanoke College in Salem, Va., Munson Williams Proctor in Utica and at\u00a0SUNY Oneonta.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2012, she has been a scholar-in-residence at Roanoke College.\u00a0Working exclusively with landscape imagery from subjects near her home in the Hudson\u00a0Valley, Amy Talluto\u2019s paintings fuse memory of discovered places along stretches of highway\u00a0with observed realism, and transform natural forms into something highly personified and alive.<\/p>\n<p>Faces, orifices, and multiple arms and legs appear in everything from trees to rock quarries to\u00a0hillsides. A brooding melancholy and solitude pervade. Strange spirits seem to live among us,\u00a0yet remain never fully known. Talluto\u2019s work has been exhibited in New York, Chicago and Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p>A reception for the artists will be held Saturday, May 7, from noon to 3 p.m. The exhibits\u00a0run through July 9. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and noon to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Admission\u00a0is free, and the Galleries are wheelchair-accessible with a ramp and a lift.
