Don't miss your chance to meet our Guest Artists, Jessilyn Dearborn and Yvon Kennon, at our June opening reception at Gallery North, this Friday, June 5th 5-7pm!
Jessilyn Dearborn and Yvon Kennon will be showing their work at Gallery North, 9 Eagle Street, North Adams, MA. The exhibit will accompany new work by permanent gallery artists Marilyn Cavallari, Barbara Patton, and Carol Shumans from June 3 to June 27, 2026. Artists will attend an opening reception Friday, June 5th from 5-7pm.
Jessilyn Dearborn is a mixed media artist creating work that exists somewhere between 2D and 3D. Her work is inspired by texture, nature, art history, and children’s book illustration. Her process involves finding colors and textures in nature to paint on paper that will be used in future pieces. While her primary medium is cut paper, she also enjoys sculpting with clay. Jessilyn holds a BFA in illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design and lives in Adams, MA.
Yvon Kennon creates functional wares by hand. These are then fired in a kiln stoked with wood, a process that takes many hands over many days. At the end of this journey, these pieces find their way into new hands, encouraging day to day moments of quiet reflection on the beauty of human-made utilitarian objects. In a busy, overstimulated world, she strives to create minimalist pieces that play with the tension between the deliberate act of creation and the unexpected spontaneity that results from the wood firing process.
Gallery North is located at 9 Eagle Street, North Adams, MA. Open Wed-Sat 2-7 pm Sun-Tues by appointment call (413) 663-1509. This show will be on display from June 3 to June 27, 2026. www.gallerynorthadams.com
