Art Gallery Opens in Rhinebeck


With its quaint downtown full of shops and restaurants and its reputation as an artists’ haven, Rhinebeck is the ideal spot for an art gallery. Owners Joel and Linda Weisbrod and Executive Director Jeff Romano invite you to the grand opening of Gazen Gallery the weekend of May 1-4. Gazen will feature Hudson Valley artists working in photography, painting, sculpture and mixed media. They’ve got an exclusive to sell some of my best-known photographs from the Dutchess County Fair and Cowgirls collections. Other work for sale includes Elizabeth Watt’s gorgeous b+w photographs of flowers and nudes, Joann Klein’s striking paintings, Jeff Romano’s intriguing constructions and drawings, David Borenstein’s playful ‘paintings,’ Barry Entner’s groovy glass sculptures, Kari Feuer’s oil-painted landscapes and Joel’s photographic giclĂ©es on canvas. If you’re interested in showing your artwork in the gallery, contact Jeff.

Centrally located in the Montgomery Row building (around back), make visiting Gazen part of your May Day weekend plans. They’re open from 10am to 7pm. The official address is 6423 Montgomery Street. Phone 876.4ART (4278).

Spring Moments in Central Park



Strolled through the park on my way to and from aipad a couple of weeks ago. The mild 55-degree weather brought everyone out into the park. Didn’t have time to stop and enjoy it, but shot a few as I walked.

Insider's Look: Sunflower Portrait

My Photo Stories
Infused with the spirit of her work, Doris brought her class of terminally ill students to a field
of sunflowers.
Or…
Vincent’s obsessions were all born from his fervent belief in God.
Or…
Mothers think the world of their children, but Cassandra took it to a whole new level when it came to her son Chad.
Or…what are your story ideas?

Behind the Photo
Every year I admire this field of sunflowers just outside of New Paltz. I persuaded my son to paint a portrait for this Truth, Lies and Legends image. His then eight-year old eye captured their sunny, happy feel brilliantly. (Proud mama.) He came along when I shot the actual photo and was more interested in playing in the dirt than helping.
