NorthWind Fine Arts is very pleased to welcome new member Becky Johnson with an opening reception on Friday, January 31st, from 5-7 pm.
Becky brings a new dimension to the gallery with her unique wall art pieces made of reclaimed wood. Startlingly beautiful, they capture the old and new essence of the Adirondacks in a fresh way.
Becky writes, “My evolution of working with wood in an artistic way began due to an abundance of scrap pieces from our fixer-upper, project house. I am drawn to upcycling in a way that reclaims what was heading to the garbage or the stove, and creates a new purpose for the material. Weathered farm fencing, barn boards or house renovation scraps. Experimenting with various ways they can come together to create a wood canvas. Each time, I hope that the living quality of the wood itself can be brought forward to enliven the pieces, with it's own nuanced patterns, texture and patina.
Please join in welcoming Becky! NorthWind Fine Arts is in the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks, in historic Saranac Lake NY.
