Happy Holidays!
This year I am excited to be showing several new artists in our holiday show. Andrew Sjodin creates quiet, simple still life pieces that encourage pausing…which it seems we all need these days. Linda Hefner executes intricate renderings of old New England buildings that evoke simpler times. Julie Aroldi captures the beauty of the vast, unpeopled spaces outside our doors, and Kate de Ruiz, an American expat in Nicaragua, paints colorful, patterned works on paper that celebrate her adopted home. In addition to these newcomers, we have fresh works from Caren Wynne, Dale Zinkowski, Ginny Williams, Donald Jurney, Frank Strazzulla, Phoebe Delaney, Brian Sindler and Tim McGuire.
While I have the pleasure of working immersed in art, I am always aware of the chaos in our world, and the seeming disconnect between the "real" world and the art world. But I believe that art connects us to varied places, outlooks, and people. Art elevates us out of the ordinary- the painful even--and directs our gaze toward the beautiful and the good. The poet and playwright, Johann von Goethe famously wrote, “A person should hear a little music, read a little poetry and see a fine picture every day in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul”.
Art represents what we strive for–each human using their abilities for the greater good–whether a call to action, or a reminder of hope. That is what keeps me passionately pursuing art and helping others to do the same.
I hope you enjoy the works assembled here, and encourage you to contact the gallery with any questions, or if you would like additional photos or video of a piece you are considering. Additionally, there are more works on our web site: Williamsfineartdealers.com.
May your days be merry and bright.
Cheers!

"I heard a bird sing in the dark of December
A magical things and sweet to remember
We are nearer to Spring than we were in September
I heard a bird sing in the dark of December."
