Through the Looking Glass: Contemporary Ceramics
Featuring: Lisa Muller, Kate Missett, Posey Bacopoulos, Donna Rozman
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.
September 2007 through October 2007
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
Emerging Artists 2007
Featuring Emerging Artists
Meet the Artists Reception: Friday, June 15, 6-9pm
We would like to recognize the talent of young artists committed to
pursuing a career in the visual arts. We feel it is important to showcase
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.
