For the month of June, Artworks@7th will host a three-artist collaborative show, Wings and Things, representing the freedom to move, and soar.

Davy Strong, an acrylic and oil artist, loves to capture the local flora and fauna of southern Maryland. Her art explores the bayside, the fields, and the living creatures within those environments. “I’ve been working with images of the wildlife I find while walking on the beach or in my garden.”

Nico Gozal has a unique process. All of his works begin with a piece of silk and colored inks. Originally from Indonesia, he has blended his culture’s crafts with his approach to the world around him. His winged creatures include penguins, fish, bees, and geese in formation.

The third artist is Mary Gault, both a 2-D and 3-D artist. For the show, expect to see detailed wood sculptures and paintings of many local birds of all sizes, such as blue herons, flamingos, egrets, and other favorites. Her attention to detail is captivating.

Our guest artist this month is Pamela Callen, a past member of the gallery. Beautiful, poignant, or striking images she has seen around the world are the reason for her painting. It is her method of communicating on some basic, universal level with viewers. She says the gift of gab is not her strong suit, so it is the most meaningful way to share her observations of far-flung or local places, people, animals or nature.
