Works of two artists on display

NEWBURYPORT — The Newburyport Art Association at 65 Water St. is hosting a dual exhibition of abstract art Aug. 10-21 in the first-floor Hills Gallery. The show, titled "Color in the Creative Journey," features works by Sharyn Dahn and Ethel Hills. Dahn's work offers a new perspective on familiar elements such as sailboats and birch forests, oftentimes breaking them down to color and form to more accurately capture the feeling of seeing them in passing. Hills draws inspiration from landscapes, emotions, and memories with a goal of creating artwork that stirs deep feelings of warmth and nostalgia in the viewer. Both artists use color as the primary language to speak to their viewers, with bright and expressive palettes throughout their art.

A closing reception with the artists is Saturday, Aug. 20, from 5 to 7 p.m. The show will be on view concurrently with the NAA-affiliated North of Boston Print Collaborative's annual exhibition, North of Boston Print Collaborative. All work is for sale.

The gallery is free and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is handicap accessible.
