Meet Carole Rabe and Christiane Corcelle. For Carole Rabe, painting is a dialogue between the artist and the “spaces, shapes, colors, and light observed.” “Remarkably,” says Christiane Corcelle, “the way I create my artwork mirrors how I live—a potpourri of diverse elements that may seem unrelated but come together harmoniously.”
Non-profit groups are at the core of Concord’s beloved cultural and historic heritage. They preserve our history, foster our creativity, educate, inform, and even feed our community. These are the people and volunteers that serve Concord year-round, and our town would be so much less without them.
So please remember to include Concord’s non-profit organizations in your year-end giving.
Meet Kyle Johns, whose work deconstructs traditional industrial mold-making processes to create unique new forms that explore “the grey area” between the practical and the sculptural, and Barbara H. Willis, whose extraordinary fiber artworks are always unique.
Henry David Thoreau’s younger sister, Sophia Elizabeth Thoreau (1819–1876), was a botanist, artist, editor, and abolitionist who worked as a teacher and managed the family’s pencil business. She significantly shaped her brother’s legacy to an extent that modern scholars argue was under-acknowledged by Thoreau’s early biographers.
Meet Fiona Kennedy, a collage artist who finds her greatest source of inspiration in color. Harmony, tension, and aggression—Kennedy uses her artistic practice to explore these dynamics that emerge from relationships between colors. Printmaker Joan Dix Blair practices primarily in woodcut and etching, and has exhibited her work across the United States and around the globe—from Berkeley, California to Galway, Ireland.
