May 6 - June 28:  exhibition -- Photographs and Memories

Reception May 10, 5-7pm

Cheryl Frey  and Lynn Aliamo

Cheryl Frey is a painter, illustrator, designer and art instructor living and working on Long Island. Recently, I have been exploring life’s destinations and how they are recorded. I am fascinated with how people have documented their memories; presently and in the past with social and pictorial fervor. My images deal with the contradiction of letting go but at the same time wanting to forever hold on. Filtered photos and high definition videos help create an over the top and almost “too sharp” memory. I believe the photographs that we take are never the complete story of our memories and our minds fill in the blanks of what was left behind. My work combines the forgotten with the documented to create a surrealistic image of our memories. Art Description: acrylic/canvas and cut paper and resin on panel. www.freyrichards.com  freyrichardsart@gmail.com 

Lynn Aliamo is a photographer whose work showcases landscapes and places of architectural interest. Always in search of the “perfect shot,” Lynn’s love of natural light allows her to capture “the true flavor, or essence, of that particular place.” With an impeccable sense of detail, her photography works to capture the cultural zeitgeist of each given location.
