SUMMARY:Artist Reception: James Kimak
DESCRIPTION:James Kimak: Painting Light\nArtist Statement\nFrom my start as an inker at Marvel Comics to work as a newspaper designer and illustrator\, to an Art Director in the early years of interactive media at NBC and CNBC\, to the creator/designer of murals for large health and education institutions\, I have always been active as an exhibiting fine artist. \nIn 2019\, I shifted from my previous focus on pastels to larger pieces in acrylic on canvas. From a gallery statement\, “Through the use of vibrant hues and strong light/shadow contrasts\, he skillfully captures the interplay between light and form in his paintings. Drawing inspiration from such renowned artists as Edward Hopper\, Degas\, and Fairfield Porter\, among others\, his works suggest a hint of abstraction along with its explicit realism.  ‘Something catches my eye when I’m not actively seeking a subject. Often\, these subjects have a strong structural shape at their core.’ While his paintings are based on specific locations that evoke a distinct sense of place\, he also brings his own imagination into the compositions\, often omitting or altering details to align with his vision.” \nSince 2005\, I have also used my graphic and photography skills—often including images of my fine art—in the creation of narrative murals for such clients as Columbia University\, Montefiore Hospital\, NYU Langone Medical Center and New York Presbyterian Hospitals\, among others. \nI earned my bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the University of Bridgeport. I have participated in numerous exhibitions in galleries in New York and New England\, and in museums\, including Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center\, the Parrish Art Museum\, and the American Museum of Illustration\, winning a number of awards\, including Gold Medals\, along the way. My newest honor is the inclusion of a projected image of my painting\, Man with Tattoo\, Havana\, in a dance and choral stage performance\, PORTRAITS\, at Washington DC’s Kennedy Center (6/2024) \nFollowing my first solo show at the Edward Hopper House in 1993\, I became a founding member of the Flywheel Gallery in Piermont\, NY. Afterwards\, I was represented by the Allen Sheppard Gallery in New York City\, where I held several solo shows. I have also shown at Carrie Haddad in Hudson\, NY\, Edgewater Gallery in Middlebury\, VT\, the Jessie Edwards Gallery on Block Island\, RI\, Ned Kelly & Company in Tappan\, NY and Perry Lawson Fine Art in Nyack\, NY. \nI live and work in Rockland County\, NY. \nFollow James on Instagram: @kimakart \nVisit James’ website: www.jameskimakfineart.com

SUMMARY:Sparkill Concert Series Presents: Matt Nakoa in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Matt Nakoa was born on a small goat farm in rural Upstate NY and studied piano with Anita B. Humer\, a student of Kyriena Siloti and Freda Rosenblatt. Nakoa attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and has made his career as a pianist\, singer\, guitarist\, and composer in many musical genres. The Boston Globe has declared him “a hot-handed phenom who can go from Chopin to beer-drenched honky-tonk in one set.” In addition to performing his own works\, Nakoa regularly appears with folk music icon Tom Rush\, national touring British Invasion act The Brit Pack\, and gives recitals of the classical masters. When not touring\, Nakoa divides his time between the New York’s Hudson Valley and NYC. \nOn May 5th Matt will be performing works by Mozart\,Chopin\, Liszt\, Rachmaninoff and his own compositions entitled ” Antique Dances” \nNotes From the Composer (“Antique Dances”) \nThese melodies were rediscovered in notebooks from my youth\, where they had collected dust for decades. In fact\, a juvenile incarnation of Waltz No. 1 appeared in my very first piano recital! In early 2012\, at the urging of my friend\, pianist Vassily Primakov\, I went to work resurrecting a few of the tunes. I polished them up\, fitted them with harmony\, and attempted to breathe new life into them. I took myself to an antique shop\, seeking inspiration for my own “antiques”. As I crouched before landscapes and self-portraits by unknown painters\, I imagined their toils and triumphs at the canvas. As I read brittle\, yellowed love letters\, I imagined soft\, flushed faces pressing together. I found innumerable old-world toys – model ships and dancing dolls – and heard little ghosts giggling. As I pawed through bins of old photographs\, I peered into faces no one recognized while clearing out the attic. I was stirred by the pervasiveness of impermanence. I was spurred to add my relics to the great pile. \nOn April 13th\, 2012\, the first six pieces of this collection were premiered by the great Vassily Primakov at the University of Vermont. I attended\, of course\, and it was joyous trip with much celebrating. \nThe remaining six works were compiled in 2020 while retreating at my childhood home in Smyrna\, NY. They had been written at various times since the premiere of the first batch\, and are also largely based on youthful sketches. In one remarkable moment of divine creative grace\, my father and I were watching silent 8mm footage of my grandparents when I heard a melody floating through the ether. I recognized it from a long-forgotten brass quintet I had attempted and abandoned in the 8th grade. When I rushed to find the notes on the piano\, it poured out in its complete form. \nFor more about Matt\, recordings and other releases\, visit www.MattNakoa.com \n \n\nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:Artist Exhibition: Norman Galinsky and Alberto Reyes
DESCRIPTION:Experience the works of Norman Galinsky and Alberto Reyes. On display for purchase in the Union Arts Center from January 9th to April 9th. Make sure to mark your calendars\, you do not want to miss these ethereal works. \nGallery 1: Norman Galinsky\nNorman Galinsky’s abstract geometric art has been inspired and informed by his background in science and engineering\, and his ongoing interest and study of meditative and energy healing disciplines and consciousness explorations. \nHis work represents the intimate relationship between the energetic and quantum nature of reality and the spiritual essence embodied by art. He believes that art expression is energy itself –an aspect of what the Chinese term Qi\, the universal life energy. The images depict a “stillness in motion”\, drawing the viewer into a meditative dialog with the present moment. His over 30 year practice and teaching of Chinese martial arts\, Tai Ji Quan and qigong exercises\, as well as study of other energetic healing disciplines have been foundational in helping him generate\, cultivate\, and utilize energy patterns that often find their way into his images. Additionally\, his earlier career and professional background in chemical engineering was instrumental in combining his use of mathematics with “permutational” and intuitive approaches to making art. His understanding and study of sacred geometry became a roadmap to explore how energy\, science\, and esthetics can be related. \nwww.normangalinsky.com \nGallery 2: Alberto Hernandez Reyes\nAlberto Hernandez Reyes (b. Havana\, 1976) \nBehind the appearance of natural shapes\, hidden behind the beauty of the landscape is the living spirit of the world (Anima Mundi). That invisible\, but intuited\, soul manifests itself in multiple signs. A sustained contemplation makes us listen to the primal music that comes from the forest\, the mist in the morning transforms the old road into an unknown country\, a forgotten language makes us understand the underlying codes in the waves of the sea. So many messages\, many of which we are not conscious. \nThrough my paintings I have tried to explore the visuality of this ethereal dimension: The elements of Nature are recognizable on the surface of the canvas but\, as the viewer will see\, the representation patterns go beyond pure mimesis. It is about exploring and materializing that mystical world through atmospheres full of mystery\, giving trees almost human emotions\, concentrating\, or limiting color in an ascetic\, monochromatic range\, evoking silence. \nThe use of light is essential. The spaces addressed are practically surreal scenarios that gravitate between the perception of the birth of Creation and apocalyptic shadows. And light is capable here of tipping the balance towards one concept or another. \nLet this be an invitation to discover another physiognomy of the landscape through the inner vision of the artist. \nalbertohreyes.com

SUMMARY:October Latin lounge with The Carlos Jimenez Mambo Quartet

It was there that his musical training began. From a young age\, Carlos had an aptitude for percussion and played timbales\, bongos and congas. His first lyrical instrument was trumpet. Carlos soon changed his instrument to flute\, feeling inspired listening to the music of Mongo Santamaria and how he utilized the flute in his arrangements. He performed with his school’s big band throughout the Island. Thus began his early days as a flutist and his passion for the instrument. \nCarlos returned to New York as a young adult to pursue his dream of becoming a jazz flutist. He began studying classical flute at the Music Conservatory of Westchester before expanding his repertoire to include jazz. \nTo date\, Carlos has recorded nine albums of his own compositions as well as his own arrangements of jazz and Latin music classics. As in a fantastic dream come true\, some of the very musicians who inspired him in his youth have participated in these recordings. https://carlosjimenezjazzflutist.com/epk-jazz-music \n******** \nWe have two dinner seatings upstairs with the concert: \nDoors open at 5pm first come first served \n6pm (arrive by 5:30) and 8pm (arrive by 7:30) \nPlease arrive promptly.

Her art education includes coursework at SUNY Binghamton\, the Rockland Center for the Arts\, the Pastel Society of America\, and the Art Students League in New York. She currently teaches a class in Pastel Painting at the Clarkstown Community Learning Center in Congers\, NY. \nGallery 2: Dan Lukens: Nurtured by Nature\nWith a focus on local themes\, Dan Lukens’ work is an ode to the familiar places characteristic of his home in the lower Hudson Valley. A life-long Rockland native\, Dan earned his BFA from Purchase College art school in 1979 though drawing and painting have been a passion since early childhood. \nArtist’s statement: The beauty in the world and the good in it\, are in the things we choose to see\, appreciate and find value in. In exploring the often overlooked aspects of daily life\, I find the points of reflection that are my inspiration.

SUMMARY:Sparkill Concert Series Presents an All-Rachmaninoff Program
DESCRIPTION:Four extraordinary artists performing an all-Rachmaninoff program in honor of the 150th anniversary of his birth. \n_________ \nPlease Note: \n– Capacity will be limited so purchase tickets now! \n– Concerts take place on the second floor of the Arts Center\, a fully renovated 100-yr old building without ADA access. \n– Reserve your table for dinner downstairs at Roost after the concert** – Call 845-359-6700 \n**Union Arts Center is now the home of the highly acclaimed Roost Restaurant\, a casual American bistro providing elevated fare and an inventive cocktail list. \n__________ \nBios \nCELLIST DANIEL GAISFORD \n American cellist Daniel Gaisford enjoys a career that has expanded over 30 years as a soloist\, chamber musician\, recording artist and teacher.  Hailed by the New York Times as “transfixing\,” and The Philadelphia Inquirer as “remarkable.” \nAfter hearing Gaisford perform\, the Senior Editor at the National Review and Critic for The New Criterion Jay Nordlinger wrote… \n“Gaisford is an American cellist and not well known. Why this is so is a mystery – and it teaches us something about the music business. When I first heard Gaisford in Philadelphia\, I was stunned: How could there be so good a cellist I had never heard\, or even heard of?  Evidently\, not every master is on the covers of magazines\, or the covers of CDs; some have unorthodox careers. Gaisford has a formidable technique and a formidable mind.  He can make a hundred sounds : fat\, thin\, spiky\, lyrical\, rich\, sickly\, piercing\, warm. “ \nOn the Barge series in New York\, Gaisford played with a grave mien throughout.  He gave the impression that he was not merely performing a sonata\, but doing something supremely important.  The Chief Critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer had a similar reaction\, calling Gaisford  “America’s greatest unknown cellist.”  The New York Times also stated that “Gaisford deserves more recognition.” \nGaisford continues to infuse with new life the great works of the past\, while fiercely advocating for the music of our own time. As soloist\, Mr. Gaisford has appeared with orchestras throughout the United States and Canada; among them the major orchestras of Saint Louis\, Seattle\, Toronto and Montreal\, under the direction of conductors such as Robert Spano\, David Zinman and Hermann Michael. Equally active as a recitalist and chamber musician\, Mr. Gaisford has performed throughout the U.S. and abroad in cities ranging from New York\, San Francisco and Berlin\, to Boston\, Rome and Tokyo. He has been a featured guest at major festivals throughout the world including New York City’s Mostly Mozart Festival\, the Chautauqua Festival\, the Caramoor Festival\, and the Davos Festival in Switzerland. Other festivals appearances include the RomaEuropa\, New Jersey’s Festival of the Atlantic\, Michigan’s Matrix Festival\, the Prince Albert Festival in Kauai\, the Aspen Music Festival and the Vail Valley Music Festival in Colorado. Mr. Gaisford has been a frequent guest on radio programs around the country and his performances can be heard on NPR’s Performance Today series. In 2001\, Mr. Gaisford recorded composer Michael Hersch’s Sonata No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello and gave the NY premiere at the Tisch Center for the performing Arts to great acclaim. In 2004\, he recorded Hersch’s Sonata No. 2 for Unaccompanied Cello\, which was dedicated to Mr. Gaisford. The performance was recorded on he Vangaurd Classics label and selected by The Washington Post as one of the most important recordings of 2005 by chief critic Tim Page.  In 2015\, Last Autumn was released on Innova Records. \nNew releases also include the Bach Suites for Solo Cello and the Piatti Caprices for Solo Cello.  Daniel Gaisford grew up in Salt Lake City\, Utah where he studied with Richard Hoyt and Gayle Smith. Further studies took him to the University of Southern California where he studied with Gabor Rejto and Ronald Leonard. Gaisford continued his studies with Harvey Shapiro and Channing Robbins at The Juilliard School of Music in New York. While at The Juilliard School of Music\, Gaisford was principal cellist of the symphony orchestra and was the first prize winner of the Shostakovich Cello Competition which resulted in his Lincoln Center debut. \nMr. Gaisford’s recordings can be found at the iTunes store and on his website\, as well as many other online music vendors. \nGaisford has an online cello class of talented students and professionals and is currently in video and recording projects soon to be released. \n____________ \nVIOLINIST FILLIP POGADY \nPogády has performed in some of the most renowned concert venues in the world including Lincoln Center (New York)\, Rudolphinum (Prague)\, Konzerthaus (Vienna)\, Tel Aviv Opera House\, Lotte Hall (Seoul)\, and Seoul Arts Center. \nHe also makes TV appearances\, including guest starring on Louis CK’s “Louie”. \nAs a firm believer that music should be available to everyone\, Pogády joined Yehudi Menuhin’s “Live Music NOW!” Foundation\, which is dedicated to bringing music to orphanages\, nursing homes\, prisons and hospitals. Pogády has played over 30 recitals for “Live Music NOW!”. Pogády decided to take this concept to the next level and has been performing the Sonatas and Partitas by J.S. Bach in the New York City subway throughout his studies at the Manhattan School of Music until present. “Most of these people have never heard this kind of music before\, and yet it touches them on a basic human level\, because this music is just SO good\,” he says. \nPogády gave his solo debut with orchestra at age 11 at the Wiener Konzerthaus in Vienna after winning the 1st prize at the Tsusuki Violin Competition as the youngest contestant. \nHe participated three times at Austria’s nationwide music competition “Prima La Musica” and won the 1st prize each time. He was also honored with special prizes by the Austrian String Society and the Raiffeisen Bank for extraordinary results at this competition. \nPogády earned his Master’s Degree in Violin Performance under the tutelage of Maestro Pinchas Zukerman at the Manhattan School of Music\, where he was awarded a full scholarship. \nBorn in Bratislava (Slovakia)\, Pogády moved with his family to Austria as a child and began his violin studies at age 7. Just one year later he was admitted to the Bruckner Conservatory Pre-college in Linz. He gave his first recital at age 10. \nPogády resides in New York City. \n____________ \nOXANA MIKHAILOFF \nOxana Mikhailoff was hailed in a recent review by Jon Sobel as “a titan of the Romantic Piano Literature.” Of her playing\, Vladimir Feltsman said “…(Oxana Mikhailoff) is a mature and accomplished musician…Her playing has character\, imagination\, and is poetic. She has a strong personality and stage presence.” \nOxana has performed throughout Russia and Europe as a recitalist\, concert soloist and chamber musician. Her United States debut took place at Carnegie Hall in 1999. She later returned to Carnegie Hall to play an all-Chopin recital on the 150th anniversary of the composer’s death. \nOxana maintains an active teaching studio in Westchester County less than one-half hour from New York City. Along with Vassily Primakov\, Oxana is co-Artistic Director of the Sparkill Concert Series and the Midland Music Series in Bronxville\, NY. \n_____________ \nVASSILY PRIMAKOV \nIn recent years\, Vassily Primakov has been hailed as a pianist of world class importance. In 1999\, as a teen-aged prizewinner of the Cleveland International Piano Competition\, Primakov was praised by Donald Rosenberg of the Cleveland Plain Dealer: “How many pianists can make a line sing as the Moscow native did on this occasion? Every poignant phrase took ethereal wing. Elsewhere the music soared with all of the turbulence and poetic vibrancy it possesses. We will be hearing much from this remarkable musician.” \nVassily Primakov has released numerous recordings for Bridge Records that include works by Bach\, Mozart\, Beethoven\, Schubert\, Schumann\, Mendelssohn\, Brahms\, Chopin\, Dvorak\, Debussy\, Tchaikovsky\, Scriabin\, Rachmaninoff\, Philip Glass\, Arlene Sierra and Poul Ruders. \nIn 2011\, Mr. Primakov\, along with Natalia Lavrova established a new and vibrant record company\, L.P. Classics\, Inc. Their first release was Anton Arensky: Four Suites for Two Pianos. Most recently\, they released Primakov’s Live in Concert Album that includes works by Medtner\, Schumann\, Brahms’ Handel Variations and Ravel’s La Valse. www.lpclassics.net \nIn March 2012 Vassily Primakov became a Yamaha Artist. \nVassily Primakov is Artistic Director of Sparkill Concert Series since 2018 together with Oxana Mikhailoff. \n  \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:Peripheral Visions
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nOpening Reception: Meet the Artist // Sunday\, March 20th\, 12 PM – 3 PM | More Info \nThrough Monday May 2nd \n\nMacrophotography by Laure Leber  \n“This is what I see when I’m relaxing\, looking at the light dancing\, looking deeply\, going inward… finding the small things that inspire a stillness within. My current exploration into macro photography focuses on finding the extraordinary in the ordinary\, of capturing moments that sparkle with light\, life and hope.” –Laure A. Leber\, 2022 \n \n \n \n \nLaure A. Leber is a documentary photographer whose work explores the visual sociology of subcultures\, most notably capturing the lives of empowered women and social rituals that are often hidden and unavailable to non-participants.  \nWorking in New York for the past 30 years\, Leber’s raw photographs include an early look at the sport of women’s boxing; behind the scenes portraits of the seminal New York performance art band “The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black”; intimate glimpses at performers of the Neo-Burlesque movement; two generations of the Native American Sunrise Ceremony Na’ii’ee\, a female coming of age ritual; and insights into the private world of Coney Island Sideshow’s ‘natural born’- performers empowered through overcoming their physical disabilities.  \nIn response to the global pandemic\, during a time of universal upheaval and transition\, Laure takes a departure from her typical journalistic style and journeys into macro photography and a study of botany as a form of meditation and centering\, culminating in this collection of photos. Peripheral Visions is not simply a celebration of beauty for beauty’s sake. It’s a reflection of the healing quality of color\, and the evolving understanding of floral life as a window into the deeper interconnection of all living things. \nVisit Laure’s Website: laureleberphoto.com

SUMMARY:LatinLounge with Cuban Singer & Pianist Ariacne Trujillo Duran
DESCRIPTION:GRAMMY NOMINEE ARIACNE TRUJILLO DURAN\nJust listen to 30 seconds and you’ll know why you need to buy tickets now: \nAriacne was born in Havana\, Cuba. She began her career as a child prodigy. Blessed with perfect pitch\, she’s had an extensive career as a concert pianist and composer. She achieved Master prizes and Special Mentions in national and international Cuban competitions and performed at the country’s top theaters and halls. At age 14\, Ariacne was chosen to perform with Matanzas and Santiago de Cuba’s symphonic orchestra. While working as a lead singer\, dancer and pianist at the legendary Cabaret Tropicana\, she pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in music piano performance from Cuba’s hyper-competitive ISA Conservatory. \nIn 2002 she arrived in New York City after winning a Residency Fellowship in musical composition at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Since then\, Trujillo has been in numerous significant projects\, such as the 14 piece New York Times-acclaimed Timba band “La bola\,” where she was the Musical Director\, pianist\, and lead vocalist. She was the lead vocalist and pianist with The Pedrito Martinez Group for over 6 years\, where she performed in many of the most important Jazz Festivals around the world such as: \nRed Sea Jazz Fest. Newport Jazz Fest\, Umbria Jazz Fest\, Montreaux Jazz Fest\, Peruggia Jazz Fest\, Daegu International Jazz Fest\, The Murton Percussion Fest\, San Fransisco Jazz Fest\, etc. \nWith her powerful musical presence and versatility\, Trujillo has become one of the virtuoso pianists and vocalists from the New York area. \nTrujillo recently graduated with a Suma Cum Laude Bachelor of Art in Music at the New Jersey City University and is already on the Master Jazz Program. In 2018 she accepted the Musical Director’s position for the off-Broadway production “Carmen to Havana and Back.” Performing with her Quintet\, she has received critical acclaim as the production’s arranger\, singer\, and Master of Ceremonies. In 2022\, she was the pianist of another off-Broadway production “My Broken Language”\, written and directed by Quiara Alegria and musical supervised by Alex Lacamore. One of Trujillo’s compositions was included in Terri Lyne Carrington’s book New Standards\, published by Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. \nTrujillo’s Unique Style derives from her countless professional participations mixed in with her intrinsic musical instinct. Her music characteristically carries a special treatment of the implicit rhythm of the “Tumbaos\,” mixing the traditional Cuban Music with “Timba” and classical highlights\, charged with aggressive harmonization with great technical complexity and creativity. \nTrujillo has performed\, shared a stage\, and recorded with legends such as Paul Simon\, Paquito D. Rivera\, Wynton Marsalis\, Steve Gadd\, Jonny Pacheco\, John Scofield\, Javier Limón\, Steve Turre\, Brian Lynch\, Lew Soloff\, Taj Mahal\, Diego El Cigala\, Alain Perez\, Jimmy Busch\, Derek Trucks\, Isaac Delgado\, and Esperanza Spalding. \nHer vocal technique stems from an opera background with an extensive and sometimes slightly raspy range where she constantly phrases and uses methods of R&B\, Opera\, Funk\, Blues\, Jazz\, and Soul. \n******** \nWe have two dinner seatings upstairs with the concert: \nDoors open at 5pm first come first served \n6pm (arrive by 5:30) and 8pm (arrive by 7:30) \nPlease arrive promptly. Seating is first come first served. Roost will be offering a delicious seasonal menu with the concert ($25 minimum per person at tables) \nWe recommend purchasing tickets at least 48 hours in advance. \nEntrance to the concert is through the door on the LEFT \nNOTE: Concerts take place on the second floor.

It was there that his musical training began. From a young age\, Carlos had an aptitude for percussion and played timbales\, bongos and congas. His first lyrical instrument was trumpet. Carlos soon changed his instrument to flute\, feeling inspired listening to the music of Mongo Santamaria and how he utilized the flute in his arrangements. He performed with his school’s big band throughout the Island. Thus began his early days as a flutist and his passion for the instrument. \nCarlos returned to New York as a young adult to pursue his dream of becoming a jazz flutist. He began studying classical flute at the Music Conservatory of Westchester before expanding his repertoire to include jazz. \nTo date\, Carlos has recorded nine albums of his own compositions as well as his own arrangements of jazz and Latin music classics. As in a fantastic dream come true\, some of the very musicians who inspired him in his youth have participated in these recordings. https://carlosjimenezjazzflutist.com/epk-jazz-music

SUMMARY:Floral Expressions… Layered & Gilded Photography By Laurie Peek
DESCRIPTION:About The Exhibit\n\nThrough Extended Through January 16\, 2023 \n\nStatement \n“My ongoing In Lieu of Flowers series of multi-layered photographs of floral elements is dedicated to my son Jackson Turner (1983-2020) and other individuals I’ve known whose funerals I could not attend. And\, this work is for all those who’ve suffered the loss of a loved one\, especially in these covid times. \nWith this memorializing project—presenting the flowers I was not able to give—I draw on my long-time fascination with layers\, abstraction\, and plants\, as well as my practice of East Asian brush painting. Somehow they all work together. \nThe images themselves are digital composite\, pigment photographs printed on translucent vellum. Hand-applying gold or gold/silver metallic-leaf gilding to the backs of the pigment prints creates a shimmering glow evocative of sacred art. Varnishing each print three different times\, painting on the adhesive\, and methodically rubbing the gilding onto the vellum\, hearkens back to the slow developing and handling of prints made from film negatives in the darkroom and\, for me\, establishes a strong\, physical connection to the work.” \nImmersion in creating this “tribute” series\, with its acknowledgement of past significant relationships and the grief of losing my child\, has been healing and is meant to heal others.”–L.P. \n  \nBIO \nWith an MFA in Photography from SUNY Buffalo/Visual Studies Workshop\, Tappan\, NY resident Laurie Peek has been a photo librarian\, photography educator\, photojournalist\, PR photographer and art gallery administrator. For the past decade Peek has been exhibiting her photography widely across the US and internationally.  \n  \nFor inquiries\, please email laurie@lauriepeek.com \nVisit Laurie’s website: lauriepeek.com \nInstagram: @lauriepeek \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n  \nSolo shows include: \nFlowers Everywhere\, Davis-Orton Gallery\, Hudson\, NY \nFlow\, Lagstein Gallery\, Nyack\, NY \nCar Parts: Metallic Transports\, Union Arts Center\, Sparkill\, NY \nRockland Reverso\, Rockland Center for the Arts\, West Nyack\, NY. \n  \nAccolades \nIn 2022 Peek was awarded “International Garden Photographer of the Year\, 3rd Place \nAbstract Views\,” Kew Gardens\, London\, UK\, and for the last five years she has been \njuried into the Julia Margaret Cameron Awards for Women Photographers exhibition \nat the FotoNostrum Gallery in Barcelona\, Spain.
