Touching each one of the six exhibiting artists in a unique way, the inspiration of the natural world can be seen in the variety of forms and expressions on display in “Flora Fauna Stone.”

Barbara Roth  Walks through the woods inspire Barbara’s sculptures, which are “love letters” to the trees, mirroring a sense of calm and connectedness.

Anne Ferril  Increasingly aware of, and inspired by, the natural world since moving to the Berkshires, Anne’s pieces in this show reflect her delight in that awareness.

Caryn King   Animals and the rich textures of nature inspire Caryn’s sculptures. Crafting her own narrative, she invites viewers to interpret and create their own stories as well.

Ingrid Raab  Drawing inspiration from historical pottery shapes, Ingrid’s functional forms are altered by using shapes found in the plant world or glazes that are reminiscent of stone.

Moira O’Grady  Fascinated by leaves, nests, shells and stones, Moira uses various and unique sculptural, woodcutting and painterly techniques to create tiles, bowls and other vessels.

 Paula Shalan. While creating her smoke fired seedpods, Paula “hovers in that place between fact and inventiveness” to distill visual information into intuitively imagined artwork.
