Today we're spotlighting Carrie Sheffield, the fourth artist who will be on site at our studio Labor Day Weekend for the Art Trail Hub Tour!

Today's Artists Spotlight: Carrie Sheffield
Hub location: #15 Jamestown

"My work is inspired by the natural world around me. I create pieces with an organic feel, using color and shape to intertwine a new story with lingering history. I create pieces that are constructed in layers, weaving together unique narratives that connect viewers to emotions past, present, and future. I am inspired by movement and view my creativity as a journey of exploration. As I find inspiration in the world around me, I also discover myself. My expression represents hope, determination, and second chances, as I pursue art in everything."

We'd like to introduce you to Terry Lair, one of the four artists who will be present at our studio Labor Day Weekend for the Art Trail Hub Tour!

Today's Artists Spotlight: Terry Lair
Hub location: #15 Jamestown

"I’m Terry Lair, and I‘m thrilled to share a bit about myself with you. My work is about capturing the simplicity and ever-shifting dance between shadows and light that I find so captivating. I specialize in pastel paintings, with forays into charcoal drawing, acrylic and oil painting and, often quite by accident, watercolor. Through my art, I try to tell a story that stirs something within you. Whether it's a sense of wonder, nostalgia, or peace, I hope my work evokes emotion and invites you to pause and appreciate the hidden narratives and stories in the seemingly mundane."

We're proud to spotlight another of the artists who will be located at our studio Labor Day Weekend for the Art Trail Hub Tour, Katherine Kepner!

North Shore Arts Alliance

Today's Artists Spotlight: Katherine Kepner
Hub location: #15 Jamestown

"I’ve recently relocated here to Jamestown from rural Orleans County, the small town of Lyndonville near lake Ontario where I lived for 30 years. I mostly grew up in Kenmore (Buffalo) and raised my two daughters there. I have roots here. My father was born here and it’s here that I visited my Grandmother, Katherine Palmer. I’m a self taught and still learning watercolor painter. I mostly paint landscapes, sometimes from life, plein air, sometimes using photos as references but mostly from my imagination and memories of places that I find beautiful. Watercolor as a medium interests and challenges me, particularly how it flows and blends on wet paper, I’m a member of Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society and NSAA."

We want to spotlight the artists who will be located at our studio for Art Trail weekend. Meet Susan Gutierrez, who also is the Art Instructor at our Art House.

Today's Artists Spotlight: Susan Gutierrez
Hub location: #15 Jamestown

"I am an artist living in Jamestown, NY. Chautauqua County has been my home for over 40 years. Through my art I try to capture the life and energy that surrounds us. I use mostly a palette knife to pay tribute to the beauty that encompasses this region. My paintings are a way to share an experience; a recollection; a moment. I hope that my paintings can be a conduit for viewers to recall a memory, stir an emotion, or transport them somewhere familiar."

Make plans to stop by Labor Day Weekend!

Art Trail: Labor Day Weekend presents Hub #15:
KeyBank Art House at Edgewater Jamestown
Featuring artists: Susan Gutierrez, Terry Lair, Carrie Sheffield, & Katherine Kepner

Welcome to the next development of The Resource Center’s growing art program – the KeyBank Art House at Edgewater.

The KeyBank Art House at Edgewater is situated on the waterfront of the Chadakoin River on Eighth Street, adjacent to the Riverwalk and across from McCrea Point Park. This location allows indoor/outdoor classes to be held on a patio overlooking the water.
Over the ensuing years, we have grown from small to large classes as well as individually tailored classes for people who need carefully structured environments and support. What began as simple painting projects has grown into ceramics, clay, print-making, jewelry-making, and more. Works produced by artists with disabilities at The Resource Center have been showcased at venues locally and throughout New York State.
