NorthWind Fine Arts Gallery is pleased to welcome former member and woodcarver Rachel Lamb back into the gallery for a guest show this March,

“Revealing Visions.” 

There will be an artist’s reception on Friday, March 6 from 5-7 pm, free and open to the public, 11 Woodruff Street, Saranac Lake, NY.

Rachel writes, “My exhibit is a collection of relief carvings, wood block prints, and three-dimensional utilitarian pieces. This show symbolizes my growth as an artist as it showcases pieces I made when I was a beginner carver and culminates with several newer abstract pieces that demonstrate my progress as I execute more challenging designs and continue to develop my technical and aesthetic skills.

I carve for the love of the process; for my process is a long and sometimes daunting task. I carve for the sense of calm and focus that lures me to work for hours at a time and for the joy I experience as I watch the curls of wood lift from the board and slowly reveal what is hidden beneath.  

Feeling a deep connection and appreciation for nature, much of my inspiration stems from the region's intrinsic beauty. I also enjoy creating abstract pieces that flow from within me without much planning as they give me the freedom to express my imagination.”
