The Jaffrey Civic Center is thrilled to announce that it is hosting an exhibition of the work of Kimberley Miller & James Ferguson. Titled “Little Bits of Beauty” the show which will take place in the display case exhibition area, will feature small scale paintings and sculptures by the artists.

      Miniature paintings capture the beauty and essence of nature while the sculptures take the discarded elements of nature and fuse them together to mirror our modern humanity. We experience nature but we are also part of nature. 

      Kimberley Miller & James Ferguson are two sides of the same coin. Kimberley’s miniature paintings seek to capture her experiences walking through the New Hampshire woods & landscapes. She experiments with both a literal interpretation of what is seen and more abstract interpretations of what is felt through the color & brushstrokes.

      James uses sculptures to show that nature is experiencing humanity. The discarded wooden scraps are shaped into what he sees in modern society. Some of these scraps saved from being incinerated are from exotic tree types that may, someday, be gone. James wishes to capture them and hold them dear for memory. 

      There will be a opening reception June 9th from 5:30 to 6:30 period and the exhibit will be available for viewing until July 15th. Come by the Jaffrey Civic Center during its open hours Wednesday through Friday 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM or Saturdays 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
