The Hills Gallery at Newburyport Art hosts a dual exhibition of abstract artwork — Color in the Creative Journey — by featured artists Sharyn Dahn and Ethel Hills. Both Dahn and Hills are artists deeply influenced by their surroundings. Hills, who has been an active artist for over 30 years, draws inspiration from landscapes, emotions, and memories, with a goal of creating artwork that stirs deep feelings of warmth and nostalgia in the viewer. Similar, Dahn’s body of work offers a new perspective on familiar elements, such as sailboats and birth forests, oftentimes breaking them down to color and form to more accurately capture the feeling of seeing them in passing. Both artists use color as the primary language to speak to their viewers, with bright and expressive palettes throughout their art.

Closing Reception (free and open to the public) | Saturday, August 20th (5-7pm)
