On Thursday, December 3, The Nave Gallery opens its December Salon featuring the work of almost a hundred artists.  Below you can read more information about the Salon, and get a sneak preview of my artwork on display, as well as sneak peeks at works by two excellent artists, Zoe Langosy and Stephen Horne.

One of Two Framed Photographic Prints by Cynthia Staples

Framed Photographic Print by Stephen Horne

Steve Horne is a scientist who works with light, and that interest is reflected in the photos he takes.  Photography is in his blood.  His father, Joseph Anthony Horne, was a photographer in the 1940’s for the Farm Security Adminstration- Office of War Information  (alongside such esteemed photographers of the day including Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks and Walker Evans).

Framed Original Artwork by Zoe Langosy

Zoe Langosy is a Somerville-based artist who does beautiful work with pen, ink and collage.  If you look closely at many of her collages, you’ll notice that they are often made up of butterfly wings!  The piece she has submitted for this exhibit is quite lovely.  Her work has appeared in galleries nationwide.
