Terryberry Gallery, art supporting art
Opened in 1986, the Terryberry Gallery exhibits local and international art throughout the St. Cecilia Music Center’s season. It is named after long-time supporters Parker and Mary (Monty) Montgomery Terryberry and it is truly a delightful accent with its varied exhibits to the already beautiful appointed building it is housed in and the music it is immersed in.
Artists interested in exhibiting at Terryberry Gallery can review the artist’s contract page 1 and page 2 and TERRYBERRY GALLERY floor-plan to discern if this is a good fit. Email your bio, artist statement, contact information and three electronic photo-files of your work to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

REBECCA GREEN, oil and acrylic
SELF TITLED RELEASE
ARTIST RECEPTION: Friday, May 4, 5:30-8 p.m.
My name is Rebecca, but you can call me Becca. I am an artist, which encompasses many things. I illustrate, do gallery paintings, dabble in stop motion and sculpture, and I am known to make a mean shaped pancake. (Every saturday morning.)
I graduated with a BFA in Illustration and a minor in graphic design from Kendall College of Art & Design, and am represented by Byrneboehm Gallery in Grand Rapids, MI. I share a small studio in an old furniture warehouse with six other artists, and as many times as I paint the door to our space, I can’t find the right color. I enjoy coffee, autumn, and roadtrips, and my favorite color is muted teal. http://www.myblankpaper.com/

CHRISTINE TOWNER, Encaustic Art
MICHELE RENEE GORT, Oils
ARTIST RECEPTION: TBA
Christine’s work is a complex, colorful journey into nature. As an abstract expressionist she uses the intuitive side of representing nature by choosing organic materials such as the ancient medium of encaustic wax and oil paint. She creatively incorporate objects such as metals, woods and other various materials into her compositions. www.christinetowner.com
Michele enjoys using texture and spontaneous paint strokes to build up her painting. Inspired by both nature and urban landscapes, she prefers her compositions to be loosely representational to a subject, giving you the viewer a chance to interpret the painting with your own imagination. http://www.designsbymichelerenee.com

SHERYL, BUDNIK, oil
ARTIST RECEPTION: TBA
Sheryl Budnik is known for her contemplative oil paintings of the ocean and Great Lakes. Her approach to paint is physical and dynamic, a visceral experience. “When we carefully look at the land or ocean, we come to the heart of who we are. These encounters connect us with the earth. The trick is to put that moment in the paint.” http://www.sherylbudnik.com

JEFF CONDON, oil and pastel
ARTIST RECEPTION: TBA
“Trained in painting and graphic design at Kendall College of Art & Design, my work has a certain close up and cropped look, bringing the viewer into a scene to recall a feeling or space the viewer may have experienced. Working with color, light, and brush stroke I capture a moment where one is aware of the energy or sense of being in that very moment.” http://www.jeffcondonart.net
