The bright green tips of the daylilies are just beginning to break through the ground in my muddy leaf infested garden. Spring cleaning beckons on all levels – Gallery and home! We’ll be closing the Gallery for two weeks to prepare for the opening of the Spring season. This is your last chance to see – Surface Tension – the show closes on Saturday, March 15.

Mary Pritchard continues to deliver on the tremendous success she achieved when we introduced her work to the Gallery during our Holiday Show. Her iconic Eastern Shore imagery is fresh, bold and dynamic. Mary will be joining the roster of Gallery artists so you will have ample opportunity to see new work, but this exhibit should not be missed!

Larry Schroth’s digital studies from Kalambaka Series will leave you champing at the bit to see what comes out of the studio when these inspiring images become the basis for his new paintings.


Chris Brownawell, Director of the Academy Art Museum, and Brian Young, their new curator, stopped by to see the show and were quite taken with Emmy Savage’s pastels. No surprise, Emmy challenges us to see the ordinary in a new dimension.

Saturday will be cold and dreary – too early for the garden, boat, or golf course. So plan a visit to Chestertown, have lunch, shop the great sales, and stop by the Gallery!
