The Edge of Light – The Art of Fee Dickson Reid

Join us for Opening Reception of "The Edge of Light" - the art of Scottish artist Fee Dickson Reid.

Fee Dickson is the alchemist of transferring light to canvas.
With her delicate but confident brush, she creates magically realistic seascapes, that carry you away in a surreal world of moments “just before”…
Pre-sunrise, just at the edge of light…

Those last minutes, right after the sun sets…barely the sight of a green flash gone into oblivion of yesterday…the night about to take over the day’s horizon, changing its mask forever…only till the morning sun rips it away giving birth to new hopes…at the edge of light…

The artist will be present to share her story and answer your questions. This one will not disappoint - unique, stunning oil on linen paintings that capture your soul... Come and see for yourself.

Solo show opening reception for Antonio Nogueira “Peeks and Valleys”

You are invited to solo show opening of works by Antonio Nogueira "Peeks and Valleys".
Join us for an exhibition tour and a chat with the artist while we explore his vibrant artwork and hear about his process.

Antonio was born and raised near Porto, Portugal. He moved to NYC in his teens and received a BA in Art Education from Montclair State University. He is currently residing in Northern New Jersey.
The artist uses large canvases as he enjoys the physical challenge of painting on a large scale. The results are long, contour lines with curves that are consistent elements in his artworks.

It is Antonio’s first time showing in VR and we are excited to welcome him and share his work world wide though our community in the Metaverse.
