A slate of painters and artists who draw inspiration from the land and the air, from architectural forms and memories of childhood, will fill the Grubbs Gallery for the 2014-15 season.

The nine shows this season will include work by Marlene Rye, Lise Lemeland, David Marshall, Karen Iglehart, Rhys Davies, and Amanda Barrow and Co.

“It is going to be a year of very impressive exhibitions because they are all so talented with such distinctive styles,” noted Natania Hume, Grubbs Gallery director and curator, in an email about the upcoming season.

“Each year I curate artists whose work complements each other’s and exhibits that provide continuity for our students and our community,” wrote Ms. Hume, who also teaches ceramics, design, and drawing at the school.

As part of the selection process for Grubbs, Ms. Hume said she looked for artists who not only had exemplary work, but who could teach Williston students about techniques, materials, and the creative process. All six artists give gallery talks to students in the Advanced Studio Art course, a new offering at Williston,  or students in the arts intensive after-school program.

Talks in the fall by Marlene Rye and Lise Lemeland, for example, would cover how each artist conveyed a sense of dynamic movement, Ms. Hume noted. Ms. Rye’s vibrant landscapes relate to dancers, while Ms. Lemeland’s draws upon her experiences as a pilot.

“Although the Grubbs Gallery artists are mostly painters this year, they all get inspiration from very specific subjects and will all give very interesting gallery talks to our advanced students, who ask a many questions and are avid to learn about each artist’s life and experiences,” wrote Ms. Hume.
