   Through the Looking Glass: Contemporary Ceramics

   Featuring: Lisa Muller, Kate Missett, Posey Bacopoulos, Donna Rozman  

   and Laurie Pollpeter Eskenazi  

   Meet the Artists Reception: Friday, October 5, 6-9pm

   Between firing techniques, hand built work, work thrown on a potter's

   wheel, and glaze applications, ceramic art allows the artist to be

   completely creative in their process.  Being functional or sculptural,

   ceramics art provides us with endless possibilities for the final products.

   Reflections

   Featuring John Costanza       

   Meet the Artist Reception: Friday, September 7, 6-9pm

   Nationally recognized, award winning artist John Costanza returns to   

   Barnstone Gallery with Reflections, an extraordinary, intimate exhibit of

   the painting themes that span his 60+ year career.  John's paintings are

   largely autobiographical with a message of tranquility; occasionally

   humorous with a surreal quality that both defies and defines the serene

   message.  Paintings by Mary Costanza (1927-2000), his late wife, will

   also be featured.  Combined, the work of John (poetic and serene) and

   Mary (compassionate and haunting) present a powerhouse of artistic

   expression.

   June 2007 through August 2007

   Featuring Emerging Artists

   Meet the Artists Reception: Friday, June 15, 6-9pm

   prospective artists and allow them to demonstrate their visions through

   their chosen mediums.  The goal of this show is to give young artists

   a chance to show their work in a gallery setting with future opportunities 

   for representation.  For further information reguarding this show please

    A Colorful Tango of Vision and Fantasy

    Featuring Florence Putterman

    As a budding artist, Florence started out painting still lifes and      

    flowers.  She then became inspired by petroglyphs created by

    the Anasazi Indians after taking a trip to New Mexico.  Florence

    Putterman’s ability to utilize abstract shapes in place of words is 

    comparable only to that of a poet who understands acrylic paint,

    sand, and crushed shells as her medium.  Through the marriage

    of paint and canvas, Florence plays with symbols and geometric

    shapes in a playful way that aims to please all who gaze upon her work.

    March 2007 through April 2007

    Enliven, Emerge, Enlighten

    Featuring John Costanza

    Meet the Artist Reception: Friday, March 2, 6pm-9pm

    John Costanza explores, invents and experiments with

    simple shapes to create visions in ceramic sculpture.

    Contrasting solid form with airy weightlessness is

    the genius behind John's mastery of his craft.
