August at Gallery 55

Gallery 55 has two guest artists in August. First, photographer and digital collage artist Emma Hood will exhibit her digital photography. Emma draws inspiration from the environmental themes of landscape photographer Robert Adams and the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, but her art captures the mystery of our environment in a way that is all her own. Our other guest is wood sculptor Gary Peer, who is known for the linearity and complementary texture of his wood sculptures. His work reflects on entropic systems, physical and social, which naturally deteriorate and decay, ephemeral creations.

We also have exciting news about one of our members, collage artist Thea Belecz. After a smoky fire destroyed the banners in St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church last winter in McCall, Thea was commissioned to create a new banner for the altar. That banner, called “This Island Earth, Our Fragile Home,” is now installed and available for viewing at the church on the corner of Gamble Road and Forest Street. Call 208-634-2796 to enquire about viewing times.

Join us for a reception on First Saturday, August 3, 4-6:30 p.m., with live music by Catfish D’Grey (Mike Dixon and Chad Lord).

View Emma’s, Gary’s and Thea’s work and the work of over twenty regional artists at Gallery 55 during the month of August. The gallery is open 11-5 daily.
