SPLASH! opens at Nina's Nook July 20th
Tuesday, July 10, 2012 at 6:36PM
"Splash!" the midsummer show at NIna's Nook, Turners Falls, will turn the tiny art space into a veritable aquarium for the month of August. Swimming in the tank will be Undersea art such as ceramic and soft cloth fish, seahorse earrings, a giant octopus candlabra, a rhinestone crab, and more surprises.
Featured painter Ariel Jones will premiere her new "Primordial Joy" series of paintings on canvas. "After many fulfilling years working in photography I have returned to my roots, grounded in paint" explains Jones. "At first the work was similar to what I used to do, a form of brush work in the Abstract Expressionism vein. Then it began to change - as though it had a life of its own bursting to get out, and my job was to release the energy and follow it's lead."
"Splash" opens with a reception with Ariel Jones on Friday the 20th from 5-7pm. Hours at Nina's Nook are Th 4-6pm, Fri and Sat from 1-6pm, or by appointment by calling 413-834-8800. Nina's Nook is at 125A Avenue A Turners Falls MA. Visit online at www.ninasnook.com
