The Arts Committee at All Souls UU Church in West Brattleboro invites the public to meet April Judd and Bev Larson at an opening reception for their two-woman exhibit from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 12. This first major gallery show for Guilford residents Judd and Larson (aka the Home Gnomes, offering a variety of free-lance services to the area) is a celebration of their 13-year history together. Featured in All Souls gallery spaces through the end of June are both large-format and smaller acrylic landscapes and portraits by Judd, as well as a number of oils and a wide variety of found-object sculptures by Larson. Judd, originally from Texas, holds a degree in painting from Texas Woman's University. "Creating art has always been a way for me to express my deep spiritual connection with nature," she shares. For her, the dramatic landscapes of Vermont provide endless inspiration and subject matter. Larson grew up in Connecticut and fell in love with Vermont while attending Saint Michael's College in Colchester. A history buff, Bev chooses antiques or forgotten items from bygone decades for her sculptures, exploring and recreating their connection to her views on our current world. All Souls Church is at 29 South St., across the way from the West Brattleboro fire station and village green, just over a mile west of Exit 2 off I-91. General gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9 to 12, during Sunday worship or other public events in the building, and by appointment. For further information, call (802) 254-9377 weekday mornings.
