SUMMARY:Serendipity in the Woods
DESCRIPTION:“Serendipity in the Woods” celebrates works of ten Reston area artists – Regina Adams\, Karen Danenberger\, Denise Dittmar\, Margot Lebow\, Julia Tova Malakoff\, Joanne Roberts-Wittauer\, Donna Ross\, Ruth Sievers\, Melanie Zucker Stanley\, and Marie Georgette Wright – who met through area art venues. Their art encompasses the bold and colorful\, the abstract and eclectic\, the meditative and cathartic. The styles and media they work with are as diverse as the women themselves. \nRegina Adams: Regina Adams is a Reston-based visual artist and voice teacher who seeks to bring more beauty and joy into the world through her teaching and creations. Regina launched Songbird Voice Studios in 2015. “I am on a mission to empower women and girls to connect to their creativity through song.” With the studio now in full swing\, Regina enjoys creating art whenever she isn’t busy teaching music. Regina’s art includes vintage finds and patterns of all kinds. A lively palette forms the basis for her inspiration. Her style can be described as a nod to the past mixed with a quest for adventure. \nKaren Danenberger: As a young artist\, Karen spent two summers in Venice\, Italy\, through NYU’s Summer Abroad Program where water reflections and the emotive qualities of color first became central themes in her artwork. Many of her paintings still feature the images and feelings generated in scenes depicting water along with themes of nature and family. Karen has over 30 years of experience in art creation and instruction\, and is an active member of the League of Reston Artists. \nDenise Dittmar: For the past ten years\, Denise has been an art instructor for children\, teens and adults at Glen Echo Park in Maryland. After receiving a master’s degree in landscape architecture and working in that field for eight years\, she taught high school art in the Dallas area. She paints both abstractly and representationally and enjoys drawing and painting portraits and landscape inspired work. Now living in Sterling\, Virginia\, she says\, “I love living near so many beautiful parks for hiking and getting into nature and also having so many museums and cultural resources nearby.” \nMargot Hahn Lebow: Margot has been painting since the age of eight. In the 1970’s she studied at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and was influenced by artists from the Minimalist-Conceptualist art movements. At a later stage\, she discovered the Merz paintings of German artist Kurt Schwitters\, and these became the ultimate influence on her style. She has been developing her unique style of collage and mixed media in Europe\, Egypt and America for the past thirty years. She has exhibited in various public places\, including the Gallery at Queens College\, New York; Morgana Gallery in Cairo\, Egypt and in private collections in the U.S. and abroad. \nJulia Tova Malakoff: Julia’s mixed media paintings\, inspired by nature and everyday objects are vibrant and uplifting\, telling stories through texture and tone. “Nature encourages me to take a closer look at our world\, bringing to light the subtle and whimsical moments\,” she says. Bold bursts of color push through shaded foliage; vivid imagery from our daily lives is layered against cool and calm. Julia has written children’s picture books and teaches a mixed media art class\, Make Your Mark at the Workhouse Center for the Arts in Lorton. \nJoanne Roberts-Wittauer: Joanne’s earliest creative memories are seeing all the colors of crayons in the Crayola box. “I would scribble and change the colors freely\, exploring so many possibilities on paper\,” she says. 20 years ago\, when her husband began his wine import business\, Joanne started painting as they traveled throughout the United States and Europe. She describes herself as an abstract expressionist painter who looks to artists like Picasso\, Hoffman\, Matisse\, Diebenkorn and Richter for inspiration and motivation. Her work is exhibited in restaurants\, retail stores and other places in the U.S. and abroad. \nDonna Ross: “My absolute happy place is anywhere near water so it’s no surprise I love working in watercolors!”\, Donna says. Her passion for landscapes is the result of a long career in a crazy busy industry and finding beauty and stillness in nature. She returned to focusing on watercolor landscapes during the lockdown. The mixture of water and pigment lets her express the light\, tranquility and texture experienced in nature. She adds\, “It makes me excited when I find my paint mingling and flowing across the paper and see a wind-swept ocean dune. I hope my art takes the viewer to these special places.” \nRuth Sievers: Ruth is a painter\, collage artist and photographer. While she pursued a career in writing and editing\, working for D.C.-area nonprofits and the U.S. Copyright Office\, she has always tried to find time for art. She studied with Joe Shannon at the Corcoran for several years and for many years with Diane Tesler and other Art League instructors. Her favorite subjects are people\, especially friends and family\, and others in public places. Ruth holds a bachelor of science from the University of Maryland\, with a major in journalism. She has a studio with the Columbia Pike Artists in Arlington\, Virginia. \nMelanie Zucker Stanley: Melanie’s parents were a huge influence on her art. Her mother was a singer and painter\, and her father was a musician. “Our home was filled with an ongoing flow of creative vibrancy.\,” she says. To create richness in her art\, Melanie uses hand painted rice papers to help build layers and textures and colors. She also works with water-based paints\, drawing tools and mixed media. If asked what her style is\, she would answer “Bright\, luscious COLOR and TEXTURE!” Melanie is a member of many art organizations and teaches art to children and adults in local galleries and in her home. She has written and published six children’s books. “I enjoy creating art…and inspiring others to find their artistic voice!” \nMarie Georgette Wright. “I paint what I love. The small things that make me happy – a little slice of nature\, an animal\, colors of the sun\, my family – all have found their way onto my canvases.” While working in a stained-glass studio in San Diego\, Marie was introduced to the luminescent power of transparent color and light. She worked with Hudson River Valley artists after moving to the East Coast where she found the joy of transparent watercolor washes. Later she added acrylics and mixed media to her palette\, frequently using bits of tissue and rice papers imprinted with impressions of leaves from her garden. “The colors of my life are a crazy quilt of bits and pieces\, and so it goes with my art.”

SUMMARY:Mostly Windows Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:A Photo Exhibit by Reggie Forster\, Shan Huang\, and Dena Porter\nReception: June 1\, 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. in Room 5 \n  \nReggie Forster. As a teenager\, Reggie was intrigued by the gorgeous color landscape slide images his Uncle Teddy presented after family trips. He wondered about the processes needed to create such beauty\, ached to be able to afford an SLR camera\, and hoped that one day he’d show his uncle pictures just as beautiful. \nReggie’s first (Ricoh) SLR camera photographed his high school track team and street scenes around New York City. Self-taught\, he most often used B&W film — learning how to develop negatives and print in his Queens\, NY basement washroom. \n“I love the spontaneity of street photography and the way shadows can momentarily transform streets and people. I am also drawn towards seascapes\, landscapes\, and sports car racing — with a nod towards the romantic cinematography of old auto racing and naval (WWII) movies\,” Reggie says. “I’ve participated in workshops at the Maine Media School and with Alison Shaw\, a wonderful New England photojournalist and Fine Arts photographer\, who influences my use of color and separation.” \nReggie has been a member of the Loudoun Photography Club\, the League of Reston Artists\, Philadelphia Photo Arts Center and displays images in local Virginia venues. (IG @rwforster\, www.reggieforsterphotos.com  rwforster@mac.com) \n  \nShan Huang. “I’m an everyday guy who lives in the beautiful state of Virginia. I don’t consider myself a professional photographer as the word ‘photographer’ holds great meaning for me. Instead\, I’m an enthusiastic hobbyist who loves capturing moments through photography\, particularly focusing on nature and wildlife.” \nBecause Shan has always been an outdoor enthusiast and animal lover\, photography seemed a natural fit for \nhis interests. “I enjoy hiking\, stargazing\, birdwatching\, and traveling; our world is vast\, and there’s so much to explore.” He acquired his first DSLR camera about 20 years ago when his son was born to preserve those precious moments of life. While those early “point-and-shoot” photos were good at the time\, his passion for photography at a higher level began about eight years ago. “I sought to improve my skills\, partly because my kids were no longer as willing to pose for me.” \nWhat drives his passion for photography? “In our fast-paced lives\, finding time to take and edit photos offers me much-needed tranquility and solitude. It allows me to find solace and escape from life’s challenges\, if only for a moment.” \nWhat does he gain from this hobby? “Each photo I take is a cherished snapshot of a moment in life that I can carry with me. Each edited picture represents my personal interpretation of that moment\, which I can share with my family and friends. Striving to improve my photography skills gives me a sense of accomplishment and motivation. \nAnd the best part? “I’ve connected with many like-minded individuals who share my passion\, providing endless inspiration\, encouragement\, and camaraderie on this journey.” \n(IG @by_shan\, YouTube @by_shan\, shanhuangphotography@gmail.com) \n  \nDena Porter. Dena’s photography is informed by her career as a sociologist and an education administrator\, especially when using reflections and shadows to capture overlooked moments in everyday urban living. “As an avid adventurer and athlete\, I capture life and light wherever possible!” \nInspired by her father’s love of film photography\, Dena studied photography at Maine Media Workshops (with Alison Shaw)\, the Smithsonian Institution\, and the Cape Cod Arts Association. Her work has been exhibited in Asheville\, North Carolina\, New York City\, and Martha’s Vineyard\, Massachusetts and she has completed commissioned works for patrons along the East Coast. \nHer photos were accepted into the MV Hospital Permanent Art Collection in 2022 and her work has been generously supported by the Martha’s Vineyard Cultural Council. Her clients include the Steamship Authority\, Yankee Magazine\, Lululemon\, Martha’s Vineyard Arts & Ideas magazine\, Edible Vineyard and Vineyard Visitor magazines. She is also a freelance photographer for the Martha’s Vineyard Times. (IG @denaporter www.denaporterphotography.com  denaporter7@gmail.com) \nPlease join Reggie\, Shan and Dena on Saturday\, June 1\, noon to 3:00 p.m. in Room 5 at Reston Community Center Hunters Woods for an opening reception.

SUMMARY:Each Canvas Has a Story Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Artworks by Nina Joffey\nReception: Sunday\, July 14 • 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. \nNina Joffey discovered painting unexpectedly. Her friends took her to a sip-and paint event where she immediately fell in love with painting.  An early retirement after many years of work in the Information Technology sector provided the time needed to explore her new passion. \nNina’s painting voyage began in 2017 when she started taking art classes at Reston Community Center and with some well-known artists. She explored art through international painting trips with artists like Christine Lashley\, Adrianne Wyman\, and Walt Bartman.  Painting helped her to discover a new world and a new self. “Art helps to open the eyes on the beauty of the world; notice things you did not notice before and makes you more observant and curious. “ \nIn 2021 Nina had a solo exhibition at Reston Community Center Hunters Woods where she presented more than 100 paintings.  More recently was a solo exhibition at Arts Herndon.  Nina is a member of the League of Reston Artists as well as the Vienna Art Society.  She participates in the League’s “Art in Public Places” where her work is exhibited in public areas like libraries\, community centers\, and hospitals. She regularly exhibits her work in several Vienna and Reston galleries and has received many awards. With the Vienna Art Society she was involved in the project ‘Take a Seat Vienna’ and designed and painted two benches in 2023. These benches were auctioned in November to private and commercial buyers. \nNina is experimenting with media and styles\, but her favorite at this moment is oil in a semi-traditional style. She loves to do portraiture\, as well as to paint nature and cities. Her inspiration comes from travelling\, observing\, and just seeing the beauty in simple things.  This “Every Canvas Has A Story” exhibition is focused on travel impressions and memories.  If you want to see more of her paintings\, please check out her website:  www.ninajoffey.com. \nContact: Nina Joffey: njoffey@gmail.com
