J.S. Herbert, a ceramicist based in Northern Virginia, is a member of multiple associations of artists, including the Studio Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the Art League Gallery in Alexandria. This is her first show at Gay Street Gallery.
Kevin H. Adams, the Gallery’s resident artist, unveils new paintings from Virginia, Cape Cod, and his travels. Kevin is a member of New York City’s Salmagundi Club, the oldest association of artists in the U.S., and also of The Provincetown Art Association and Museum. His work is regularly on display in both venues. His focus when capturing the landscapes he witnesses is on the light and its impact on color as we see it.
Aster da Fonseca is a self-taught artist born in Volta Redonda, in the state of Rio di Janeiro, Brazil. He moved to Washington, D.C., in 1995 and began painting in 1998. Gay Street Gallery has had the pleasure of showing Aster’s work in recent years and is excited to feature him in this new exhibition. Aster paints and cuts tape, applying it to the paper or board, to create his gorgeous, detailed, abstract landscapes.

Contemporary studio furniture makers, like painters and sculptors, eloquently balance line, shape, texture and visual rhythm. One difference—their works of art have an added dimension: function.
Form + Function features accomplished artists who paint surfaces, forge steel, carve and steam-bend wood. The finished products are both stunning and functional. You can make these pieces, available at Cottage Curator part of your home.
