Eleven new pieces by Randolph artist Erica Sears will be displayed in the Gifford Gallery in a month-long show that will run through December 12, 2015.
Sears, who graduated from Randolph Union High School in 1985, received her bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles, where she lived for 15 years before returning to Randolph in 2000.
Sears has been making, selling, and teaching art for over 25 years. Her work has been displayed in Los Angeles and throughout the region at Chandler, First Light Studios, Gifford, in Bethel, and at the White River Craft Center. Currently a large three-panel painting of hers hangs in the Upper Ester Mesh Gallery at Chandler (part of its permanent collection), and her work is on display at the Black Krim Tavern on Merchants Row in Randolph. You can see more of Erica’s work at Etsy.com at her shop “Erica Sears Art”
“I love color and texture, so when I create I get to play and let my imagination run wild,” says Sears. “I will make art with pretty much anything. This show is a selection of paintings with and without collage that range in size from 5″x10″ to 4’x5′.”
This is her third Gifford show, and is a vibrant collection of abstract works in paint and collage that visually express the colors and emotions of the seasons and daily experiences of the artist.
This exhibit is free and open to the public, and will be displayed through December 12, 2015. The gallery is located just inside the hospital’s main entrance at 44 S, Main St. (Route 12) in Randolph. Call Gifford at (802) 728-7000 for more information.
