MASSONIART welcomes Marcy Dunn Ramsey

CHESTERTOWN — Join MASSONIART this Friday, May 10 from 5:30-7 p.m. for a champagne reception to open artist’s Marcy Dunn Ramesy’s exhibit Transitions. An Open House/Artist Talk will be held Saturday, May 11 at noon.

Ramsey’s annual exhibition Transitions represents the work created over the late fall and winter months and will be featured in the High Street gallery from May 10 through June 2.

“Marcy’s love of nature is so apparent her new work” said gallerist Carla Massoni. “The viewer is invited to ‘step into’ nature and feel surrounded by the bright colors and abstract forms. The rivers of the Chesapeake have been her muse and her cause for over thirty years. Marcy remains a fierce advocate. “

“This series of paintings explores more deeply the idea of transition from concepts based on the natural world into a world of more abstract thought,” Ramsey explained. “The larger scale of most of these pieces makes it easier to step into an alternate reality of color and design. More arbitrary color is employed, and I allowed myself to follow lines wherever they wanted to take me.”

Transitions will be on exhibit in the 203 High Street gallery. Hours during the show are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday.

The Cross Street gallery is open Sunday noon to 3 p.m. and private appointments may be scheduled at any time by contacting Carla Massoni at 410-708-4512.
