Michaela Harlow is a multidisciplinary Vermont artist with a CV spanning more than three decades. Her first solo exhibit took place in 1994 at Marlboro College. In the years since, she has shown her artwork in galleries, museums, and other public venues throughout the United States. In addition to her active studio practice and exhibition schedule, Michaela has simultaneously pursued a successful career in landscape and garden design. Over the years, these two separate but related passions have drawn closer together. Working the land in two and three dimensions, both solo and in collaboration with other artists and craftspeople, continues to push and develop her work in new ways. A Certain Slant of Light brings these elements together in one installation for the first time.
Michael Abrams is a contemporary artist whose studio is nestled in the Green Mountains of southern Vermont. Relocating from Manhattan to Vermont in 2008 allowed Abrams to increasingly embrace the natural environment as a more direct influence on his work. The abundantly varied vistas of the Green Mountains, the physicality of the terrain, the unique quality of light, and the richness of the atmosphere have become integral to his storytelling. Abrams’s ongoing experiences with nature are layered upon bucolic visual memories of sprawling, fertile land, scenic beauty, and the awe-inspiring sunsets at his childhood home perched above the Hudson River Valley, in Rensselaer County, New York. Abram’s influences include the Romantic era painters and their embrace of the concept of the sublime in nature, as well as mid-19th century Luminist painters.
