BRATTLEBORO: "Two roads diverged:" Painting and Sculpture by Nine Women

mixed media painting by Ann Stokes
An ongoing exhibit at The Dianich Gallery 
Weekends in March 2013:
Fridays & Saturdays, 12-3 p.m.

"Two roads diverged:" Painting and Sculpture by women who have started––or returned to––making art in later life

Artists included in the show are Barbara Baribeau (sculpture), Arlene Distler (painting, and curator), Kathleen Gatto-Gurney (sculpture), Marcia Hammond (painting), Marya Koskoris (painting), Lynn Martin (painting), Meris Morrison (painting), Ann Stokes (painting), and Muriel Wolf (mixed media mono-prints).

A surprising exhibit by women who have been writers, dancers, teachers, all the various paths that did NOT lead to a life in the visual arts, and have discovered or returned to their muse in their later years.

"Dream of Haiti," mixed media by Meris Morrison
The exhibit, "Two roads diverged" will be open for viewing each weekend in March, Fridays and Saturdays, 12-3.
