The owner/artist of Nuthatch & Bluet Studio, Susie Secco is a printmaker whose work focuses on creating pieces that combine color, patterns and practicality. Her creations include table lines, kitchen towels, aprons, pillows and handbags. Judith Secco, a native of Connecticut’s Northwest corner, has been an avid self-taught photographer all of her life. She began with an in-home darkroom focusing mainly on black and white images and later realized a passion for digital photography. Developing her own technique by using textures and layers, she gives her images a unique quality, enhancing nature’s beauty with an artist’s eye and neutral background, bringing nature to life. Christina Giebner of West Springfield, MA showcases one of a kind precious gemstones and metals in a limited-edition jewelry line. Julia Rose Miner a local painter from Stockbridge, MA most recent collections of textural abstracted landscape paintings, has explored and continue to experiment with vibrant colors, materials, size, and nature subjects. Through subject matter and creation, she finds beauty in the innocence of decay and abstraction. At the age of seven she was diagnosed with a visual impairment, called Stargardt Disease, leaving her world altered with a constant vibrating visual texture. She uses the sense of touch as a source of sight to navigate through life and art. Art by Dave Nevue’s work embodies a deep connection with nature, particularly within the serene and captivating world of wildlife. Utilizing pastels, he enjoys the playful vibrancy they offer, which allows him to engage with the textures and moods of the natural environment. Each piece is a reflection of the stories that unfold in the wild, with a particular focus on the personalities of the animals he depicts.
