Exhibit Features Art and Photographs by Joann and Lou DiNicola
An exhibit of works by artist Joann DiNicola and photographer Lou DiNicola is on display through January 6, 2016, at the Gifford Medical Center art gallery.
Joann “Rig” DiNicola taught art in the public schools for 29 years and now works out of The Arte di Luna Studio in Randolph. She is a signature member of the Vermont Watercolor Society and a member of the Northern Vermont Artists Association, the Valley Arts Foundation, and the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville, VT.
“Portraits of people, animals, and old vehicles are favorite subjects for me, but I am always on the watch for inspiration wherever it may be found,” she said. “I work in a variety of media: transparent watercolor, pastels and acrylic paint, and photography.”
Lou DiNicola, who is also a pediatrician at Gifford, had his first camera at 13 and has been taking pictures ever since. After moving to Vermont in 1976 to begin his career in medicine, he continued with photography in his spare time. For more than 40 years he worked with film, mostly in landscape and nature photography, but now works exclusively in digital format.
“With digital format I have control over the entire process, and in composing, editing, printing, and framing I can present something that is my own work,” he said. “My passion is to use my camera to capture a moment in time that will linger in the minds of the viewer, hopefully evoking a renewed sense of wonder of the world around us.”
This exhibit is free and open to the public, and will be displayed through January 6, 2016. 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.
