Experience Northwind Fine Arts
Are you looking for a place to exhibit and sell your artwork, and have a few days a month to fulfill members’ sitting requirements at our beautiful cooperative gallery?
Due to recent member retirements, NorthWind Fine Arts LLC is looking for two new members for our cooperative gallery. We are in a beautiful prime retail location on Main Street in historic Saranac Lake, NY.
Our current team members include traditional landscape and still life painters, a reclaimed wood artist, a fused-glass artist and a wood turner. If interested, please send inquiries to: northwindfinearts@gmail.com
NorthWind Fine Arts Gallery invites you to their July 4 reception for “Scenes from Rural America,” featuring paintings by Gutersloh, Johnson and Whiteman. This is the first time in the gallery’s history that these three artists have had a combined exhibit.
Mary Johnson’s faded farmhouses, abandoned sheds, and the landscape surrounding them make frequent appearances in her work. The theme of a "Rural' show influenced many new paintings which explore the Adirondacks and Maine. From a Rt. 86 farm to a swing hanging from a tree, once new but now abandoned, and wondering about their histories inspire her paintings.
Heidi Gutersloh is known for capturing barns, fishing scenes, pet likenesses, and still life paintings. About her latest paintings she writes, “Several of my paintings were inspired by a recent visit to Old Sturbridge Village, where women wore long dresses and bonnets while working the farm. An occasional parasol opened to guard a lady from the afternoon sun while enjoying the gazebo and blooming flowers. Of course, there are always the old barns, well worn but still ruggedly handsome in the fields. What’s more “rural” than that?
Susan Whiteman’s work is inspired by a lifelong love of history, farms, landscapes, and sky-watching. She’s never abandoned her childhood fascination with clouds and light, frequent themes in her paintings.
The gallery is open daily, 10-4 (closed Mondays and Wednesdays); the reception is from 5-7 p.m. Friday evening—you’ll be out in time for fireworks! 85 Main Street, Saranac Lake.
NorthWind Fine Arts is a cooperative gallery in the heart of the High Peaks region, a short ride from Lake Placid. We have a fine fireworks display over Lake Flower on July 4, if you’re looking for that, and there are many fine eateries and coffee shops in town, and several art galleries to visit.
