Ellen C. Gower – A Retrospective
at the Menino Arts Center and online in a 3D gallery
January 30 – March 6, 2023
Now extended through March 13!
Reception: Saturday, February 11, 330 – 530 pm
Curated by Holly Gower Boots, Ann Turley, Maria Luongo, Tamara Safford, Jane Estella, and MAC Curator Sasja Lucas.
The title of this exhibition and the corresponding catalogue, ab ovo usque ad mala (from eggs to apples), was once used by the artist, Ellen C. Gower, to describe a series of still life photographs she exhibited in 2005 and 2006. She explained at the time that “[t]he epigram refers to the Roman banquet (for us it would be soup to nuts), but it has acquired the connotations of from beginning to end, birth to death and alpha to omega. Eggs to apples runs the gamut of the human lifespan.” In light of this understanding, it was deemed an appropriate title for the present catalogue as well, which provides a retrospective window into Ellen’s artistic output over many decades, from oil paintings during her teenage years in the late 1950’s to pen and ink drawings during the years before her death in 2021.
In conjunction with the exhibits, there is also a catalogue of the works with images and text about Ellen’s process of art making that are not seen in the exhibits.
$25 per catalog.

More info at https://violencetransformed.com.
A poem from the curators about the exhibition:
“When the art reveals the ignored and is about troubling times.
The image exposes problems
The truth bursts into color on canvas and into 3D
When the art celebrates affirmations, resilience and quiet.
Our voices join to find solutions
and our hope for the future endures.”

Family Portraits
As isolation set in during Covid, I made most of these paintings. My dad died a month before that fateful March weekend when many of us started to socially distance, an awkward phrase for a practice that runs counter to everything I believe is important. The paintings helped me grieve my dad and they brought to mind sweeter, closer family times.

A Retrospective of Collages by Rosemarie Michmerhuizen, 1967-2012.
March 1 – April 26, 2021
Virtual Reception: Friday, March 12, 7 – 8:30 pm
Curated by Sasja Lucas.
Rosemarie was a member of the Hyde Park Art Association since its origins, and her recent passing has left nearly five decades of collages to admire. This exhibition is a visual memorial to this outstanding artist.
artist bio
Rosemarie Ferraro Michmerhuizen began assembling images in 1966, in an emotional response to Life-magazine images of the terrible floods in Florence that year. She was, at the time, an operating room R.N. at a hospital in New Haven; she had no professional training as an artist.
Rosemarie continued to create these visual remixes in the following decades, but never exhibited until September of 2003, when her work was shown at the Church of Our Saviour in Brookline, MA. Since then she has taken two first prize ribbons at Scollay Square Gallery, Boston City Hall, and has shown at Artists-At-Large gallery in Hyde Park, the Curran Gallery in West Roxbury, Cafe Cantata in Jamaica Plain, the Menino Room of the Hyde Park Public Library, Riverside Theatre, Boston Arst Academy, the Milton Library, Boston Public Library, Hyde Park Open Studios, and Members Exhibitions at the Menino Arts Center.
artist statement
My media is collage. My work is a journey from reality to fantasy: I disassemble and reassemble images.
The most important activity in collage-making is seeing. Believing what you see and knowing it is real.
I do not attach hidden meanings or stories to these pieces. Each work arises from mutual attraction among several images. I free those from their context or their original surroundings, so that they can become acquainted with each other in the final construction.
technical notes
short version: I cut out pictures and glue them together in new arrangements. Then they are scanned into a computer and retouched if that’s necessary.
long version: The tools I use in making my collages are a staple remover, pair of nippers, magazines, glue stick, plastic shields, and a computer. I disassemble a magazine in which I’ve found an image that attracts me. After searching for other images that connect (whether because of shape, color, subject, or just a hunch) I cut them out and work on assembling. This can be tricky sometimes; other times it can just fall into place. Then I paste the pictures together or – if there are not too many pieces – just place the whole assemblage into a transparent plastic sleeve. Then we scan the assembled image into a computer. It’s retouched if that’s necessary. We have the completed image professionally printed on high-quality paper – or canvas – and my daughter and I do the matting if that’s appropriate.

a 3D exhibition created and presented by the 54th Regiment Re-enactors and Historical Society
The exhibition will be available from March 15 – April 27, 2018.
A must see, this is a rare and exciting 3D exhibition that visually brings to life what it was like to be part of the historical camp of the brave men who served in the 54th Regiment, the first African-American regiment organized in the northern states during the Civil War. An actual mock camp with tents and period artifacts along with photos will be set up in the hall and rooms at Menino Arts Center. Members of the re-enactors will be on hand during the exhibit to answer questions. This installation and presentation will highlight and educate this important period in US history and Hyde Park history. It is proudly in partnership with the celebration of the Hyde Park’s 150th year of incorporation (1868- 2018).

WOMEN INK
An exhibit of works by 14 local calligraphers
(December 29, 2017 – March 1, 2018)
Members Gallery & Gallery 26
Curated by: Sasja Lucas
Coordinated by: Chris Roberts
WOMEN INK is a community of lettering artists in the Greater Boston area who have been studying calligraphy together for many years—some for more than 25.
The study group developed from years of taking formal classes together at The deCordova Museum School, and, after the studio art programs were discontinued, stayed together, working in other spaces. The Ryan Estate in Lincoln is their current home, and each week they meet to experiment with paper, paint, ink, and letters, and to find inspiration and support from one another.

Portraits, A Juried Exhibition
Exhibition Dates: September 13 – October 19, 2017

BFA in painting, an MFA in sculpture from MassArt, and a BA in Theater Arts from Vassar College.
