Autumn captured in art on display at arboretum

Beginning Thursday, Sept. 26, Women Sharing Art Inc.’s autumn fine art exhibition, titled “Impressions of Nature,” will be on display at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum.

In a longtime friendship between the two pillars of the community, this is the seventh multimedia exhibition of Women Sharing Art to be held at the arboretum.

Women Sharing Art Inc., a professional artists association, “helps [members] pursue and promote their artistic passions,” according to president, Sue Miller.

The 36 members of the organization are “multitalented women who possess a common bond as female artists sharing and exploring their artistic energies,” said Miller.

The media used by the three-dozen members included mosaics, fused and stained glass, jewelry, textiles, pottery, photography, water, acrylic and oil paintings and other mixed media.

“Inspired by the beauty and diversity of nature and [offering] a captivating and aesthetic experience, it’s perfect for art lovers, nature enthusiasts, and those with a curiosity for the unexpected. The exhibit immerses visitors in a dynamic celebration of the natural world, encouraging them to see familiar environments in new and imaginative ways,” said the organization in a statement.

“Showcasing the work of our members is always a proud moment for me. I never tire of the preparations for a show, of which there are many,” said Miller. “It’s astonishing how, in the 17 years since our beginning, we’ve grown to be a consistently professional art presence on Long Island.”

The exhibit is on view at the arboretum from Sept. 26 through Oct. 20, Thursday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a number of pieces available for purchase via check or PayPal.
