Six Painters at Ashawagh

Tue, 07/08/2025 - 13:47
Paintings by Dorothy W. Kopelman will be on view with the work of five other artists at Ashawagh Hall.

“Six in the Mix,” an exhibition featuring work by Kirsten Benfield, John Kneapler, John Haubrich, Dorothy W. Kopelman, Daniel Hughs Vernola, and Grace Chun, will be at Ashawagh Hall in Springs Friday through Sunday, with a reception set for Friday from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

Ms. Benfield has worked in a variety of mediums, but she continues to push the boundaries of watercolor. Mr. Kneapler is known for his abstract landscapes and color-field paintings. With gesture, color, and form, Mr. Haubrich articulates his emotional responses to his life in the physical world.

Ms. Kopelman likes her work to suggest a known world, but one that remains more of an abstraction. An abstract painter, Mr. Vernola works in layered glazes that heighten hue and soften plane. Nature is Ms. Chun’s primary inspiration, but she feels it is to be interpreted, not copied.
