Diane Landro: It Was All a Dream
July 1 – August 31

With over two decades behind the lens, Diane Landro’s photography is rooted in curiosity, movement, and human connection. Her work is shaped by years of travel and a love for capturing authentic moments and ethereal photoshoots. Outside of photography, Diane spends her time with family and friends, her cat Rhys, and building her charity-focused skincare brand, Inky Aftercare, which she co-founded.

Rachel Williams: Works on Paper

June 29 – September 29

Rachel Williams’ works on paper relate to personal memories and nostalgia. She began experimenting with a variety of papers that were directly associated with these memories, such as paper doilies, newspapers, library cards, menus, sheet music, receipts, and book pages. Some of the book pages were from classics that she grew up reading. These classics slowly turned into topics of controversy. Her latest series, The Banned Book Series, investigates the connection of symbolism and allure within each of these powerful novels.

Rachel’s work has been exhibited in Jersey City, New York City, and throughout the Hudson Valley. Her paintings adorn the walls of many private and corporate art collections. Rachel studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Orange County Community College, The School of Art and Design at Alfred University, and SUNY New Paltz. She is a full-time Art teacher, wife, and mother of two beautiful little girls.
