FARMINGTON — The Upfront Gallery, a new gallery connected with the Upfront & Pleasant Gourmet at 155 Front St., will present “Wilderness Edge,” an exhibition of paintings by Shelah Horvitz from Aug. 4 to 31.
Horvitz’s paintings of animals, landscapes and plants explore the shifting balance between the wild and the domestic where wilderness meets civilization. The artist has exhibited in galleries and museums across the U.S. Her paintings and drawings have appeared in Art in America, Art New England, the Boston Globe, on billboards in Albany, New York and Atlanta, Georgia.
The Weld resident is currently exhibiting with Saatchi Online, and the bulk of her work can be viewed at http://www.shelahhorvitz.com.
