SUMMARY:Free Demo with Master Pastelist Robin Frisella
DESCRIPTION:Copper Bowl by Robin Frisella \nRobin Frisella’s pastel paintings are known for their rich textures\, natural light effects\, and nostalgic grace. Drawing from a carefully curated collection of antique vessels\, vintage glassware\, and fresh flowers and fruit\, she creates serene tableaus that weave together the past and present – objects rich with history pared with nature’s ephemeral gifts. The paintings Frisella creates have an almost photo-realistic quality\, but they are hardly images captured in a flash. Each painting is meticulously arranged and rendered in layer upon layer of pastel pigment. Speaking of her process\, Robin explains “working in pastel allows me to build soft\, buttery layers that bring a richness and depth to each piece – capturing light\, texture\, and atmosphere in a way that feels both vivid and intimate.  \nRobin began her creative journey in 2000\, when a local pastel class sparked a passion that quickly grew into a full-time calling and her work has since garnered numerous national and regional awards. She is a juried member of the Copley Society of Art and a signature member of the Pastel Society of NH. In October 2016 she received the designation of Master Pastelist from the Pastel Society of America. In addition\, Robin’s work has been published in the Best of America Pastel Artists Vol. II\, The American Artist Magazine\, New Hampshire Magazine\, Artscope Magazine\, Monadnock Table\, The American Art Collector\, The Artist Magazine\, and the Pastel Journal. \nThis is an amazing opportunity to hear Robin talk about her work and process! Presented by the Central Mass Pastels Society\, as part of the National Juried Show Marks of Distinction.

SUMMARY:Autumn Equinox Illuminated Labyrinth Walk & Handheld Labyrinth Creation
DESCRIPTION:The Autumn Equinox is the perfect time to consider how our lives are balanced. Do we need to let go of some commitments in order to make more room for joy? Join Karen Szklany on Sunday\, 9/21 at 1:45pm in The Loft for an illuminated labyrinth walk to support your journey toward a balanced life full of joy. \nThe walk will be followed by an opportunity downstairs in The Cove to create your own handheld labyrinth path meditation tool on canvas\, with paints and a variety of materials for a 3D effect. \nKaren will begin promptly at 2pm with a quick introduction to labyrinths and a reading before opening the labyrinth for the group walk. \nTo allow for maximum benefit\, this workshop will be limited to 12 participants and is appropriate for those 18 years and older. $25 per participant.  \nTo register\, click HERE.\nAbout the Instructor:\n \nKaren Szklany is a Veriditas-certified Labyrinth Walk Facilitator (2017) who’s been dedicated to walking labyrinths every day since 2005\, when she was introduced to this type of walking meditation to support her creativity at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral in Boston.  It was love at first step! Since then\, she’s moved into co-housing in 2009\, where she began walking the outside labyrinth located in a grove of trees and has facilitated group walks for friends and neighbors.  She has also facilitated group walks on temporary labyrinths she has built with rainbow lights at her UU church for various occasions\, including for the youth in the church’s RE program. \n \nKaren is currently a member of and Regional Representative for The Labyrinth Society.  She is very excited to facilitate a walk for you and offer an opportunity to create your own handheld meditation tool!

SUMMARY:4 Voices in Color - Artist Meet & Greet
DESCRIPTION:4 Voices in Color\nSusan Aeschbach\, Cathie Brenner\, Margo Ezekiel and Judith Stein are Boston-based abstract artists. “4 Voices in Color” showcases their different views on both the natural world and the fantasy world. Each artist has a unique approach to creating abstracts incorporating a variety of materials and mediums. The exhibit includes mixed media works\, acrylic paintings\, oil paintings\, collage\, fiber arts\, and eco prints.  \nBonded by their shared passion for abstract work and a determination to deepen their own art practices\, Susan\, Cathie\, Margo and Judith have created a group with two other artists called the Black Sweater Artist Group. This group meets regularly to share ideas\, exchange resources/techniques\, encourage further experimentation in their work\, and exhibit collaboratively when possible.  \nCathie Brenner & Margo Ezekiel will be at Fivesparks on Wednesday\, June 25\, 2025\, 2:00-4:00pm to meet visitors and talk about their art.   \nCathie is a painter and collage artist from Brookline\, MA. Her mixed media paintings incorporate old scraps from family fabric\, found images\, writing\, sand and seaweed\,  and other plant life. She is inspired by textures\, color\, memory and meaning.  \nMargo is a contemporary collage artist from Newton\, MA. She prints her papers using a gelli-plate\, which allows her to create rich textures and patterns without a press. She works organically and  rarely starts with an idea; she looks to her very messy table for a spark of inspiration. \nStop by to meet the artists\, hear about their inspirations\, processes or to ask your own questions about their art.  \nFree and open to all.
