Lifescapes, Seascapes and Selkies
Watercolors and Quilts
Ann Lawson Adamek
Penny Sisto
November 7 – December 12, 2010
Reception: Sunday, November 7, 2:00-4:00 pm
Gallery Talk: Wednesday, November 10, 5:30pm
The Huff Gallery is free and open to the public
A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Ann Adamek began painting watercolors in 1989. A Marriage and Family Therapist by profession, Ann considers her painting to be her therapy. Although she has had no formal training in art, she has attended numerous classes and workshops taught by nationally recognized instructors. Ann says “the process of watercolor painting is a journey of self-discovery. As I become more familiar with the limits and possibilities of watercolors, so I discover the limits and possibilities in myself that have been hidden to me. The challenge and the delight for me is to allow watercolors to ‘do their own thing’, yet have some semblance of control over what they do. I want my paintings to invite emotional connections – - – with oneself, with Nature, with all of life. I have always loved the concept of interconnections.”
Penny Sisto was born in the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. As a health worker for the British Ministry of Overseas Development, she utilized her skills as a midwife and aided in health clinics for the Maasai, LuBukusu and Kikuyu tribes of East Africa. During this time, Penny combined the embroidery, applique and quilting techniques she learned from her grandmother with the beading and collage methods of her African friends.
As admirers of each other’s work it seemed a natural step to collaborate on this exhibit. It was the perfect balance to put together Ann’s deep love of Nature as evidenced through her evocative watercolor paintings, and Penny’s desire to tell the Selkie stories she grew up with through piecing together the fabrics of their lives.
The Huff Gallery is located in the Spalding Library, 853 Library Lane, between Fourth and Third Streets and Breckinridge and York Streets /campus-map/.
The gallery is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
For information about the gallery contact Joyce Ogden at (502) 585-9911 ext.2360 or e-mail jogden@spalding.edu.

Patsi Trollinger’s childrens book, Perfect Timing (Viking) and Frank X Walker’s new collection of poetry, Isaac Murphy: I Dedicate This Ride (Old Cove Press), both of which are about the famous African American jockey, Isaac Murphy will be the subject of a statewide reading project this school year. Unlike most reading projects designed around a single book, this two-book project is not only designed to promote literacy, it seeks to engage entire families, appeal to a broader audience and to engender intergenerational multi-racial dialogue, conversation and enthusiasm around reading.
Spalding University’s College of Education will host a workshop on October 9th to train representatives from participating host organizations and schools. Registered participants will receive complimentary copies of Walker’s book. Both authors will be available at the workshop to read from and discuss their work. Facilitators will share links to web-based support materials and copies of age appropriate study guides, discussion questions and additional thematic materials that are covered in the two books.
