SUMMARY:Overheard in the Orchard - Ellen Harasimowicz\, Linda Hoffman and Ariel Matisse
DESCRIPTION:“I am an apple tree. I come from a long line of apple trees reaching back eons.” \nAnd so begins Linda Hoffman and Ellen Harasimowicz’s collaborative artist book\, Overheard in the Orchard\, a series of conversations between one Golden Delicious tree and their orchardist written by Hoffman with orchard photographs by Harasimowicz. The exhibit at Fivesparks invites visitors into the orchard at Old Frog Pond Farm in Harvard—not only as the home of apple trees\, but also as a place of birds\, insects\, history\, longing\, and mystery. Joining Hoffman and Harasimowicz is Hoffman’s daughter\, Ariel Matisse\, who grew up working in the orchard where this very tree still bears a bountiful crop every year. The exhibit brings together Harasimowicz’s silver-toned and color photographs\, Hoffman’s sculptures and watercolors\, and Matisse’s prints and wire sculptures – a multimedia visual feast\, alive with textures\, shadows\, shapes\, and forms. \nOn view October 4\, 2025 – November 15\, 2025. \nReception\, open to all\, Sunday\, October 12\, 2025\, 3:00-5:00pm. \nExhibit closing event on Saturday\, November 15\, 2025\, 4:00pm. Book reading by Hoffman and thoughts shared from both Hoffman and Harasimowicz about the collaborative process that resulted in the book Overheard in the Orchard. \nBooks can be purchased at Fivesparks during the exhibit.

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: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.

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.  \nSusan is a painter and mixed media artist from Newton\, MA.  She seeks to capture the aliveness that is inherent in all things animate and inanimate.  She paints intuitively\, particularly loves working with color and the inspiration for her abstract work often comes from nature and fantasy. \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. \nJudith is a painter and mixed media artist from Needham\, Massachusetts. This exhibit showcases her exploration of gelli-plate and eco printing as well as collage. Inspired by nature and its intricate patterns and rich textures\, most of her work revolves around botanicals and nature-related themes.   \n4 Voices in Color is on view from Saturday May\, 31\, 2025 through Saturday July 12\, 2025.  The exhibit will end with a Closing Reception on July 12 from 2:00-4:00pm.  The artists will be at Fivesparks for 2 ‘Meet & Greet’ sessions:  \nJudith Stein & Susan Aeschbach on Friday\, June 13\, 2025\, and Margo Ezekiel and Cathie Brenner on Wednesday\, June 25\, 2025. Both days 2:00-4:00pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibiting Artist Talk with Mardie Luppold
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, April 30 at 2pm to hear exhibiting artist Mardie Luppold share the inspirations behind her collection on display in the Fivesparks Gallery – Archetypes: Making the Invisible\, Visible.   \nMardie will fascinate you in describing her progression of interests and in-depth studies of ancient cultures and belief systems that resulted in the creation of the ‘Kachina’ series.  References of Baba Yaga and deified spirits dating from neolithic and paleolithic times\, the study of work by Marija Giumbutas in excavating neolithic and paleolithic matrilineal societies\, and cultures similar to our own First Nations in North and South America as well as contemporary examples in Siberia and Central Asia.  The existence of Denisovan DNA in modern-day shamanistic peoples\, such as Tibetans\, Amazonian and Southeast Pacific peoples\, among others\, will be discussed.  \nFinally\, Jungian theory ties it all together with exploration of the ‘Collective Unconsciousness\,’  wherein lies the archetypes\, racial memory\, planetary and galactic memory\, and our connection to the Earth\, each other and all sentient life.  \nThis is a free event.
