www.gravesmountaintrailrides.comDreams of Trees and Other Living Things
Arts in the Village Gallery announces the September Featured Artists exhibit Dreams of Trees and Other Living Things, a collaboration by paper collage artist Karen Oliver, and her daughter, ceramicist Amy Oliver.
Karen Oliver’s paper collages are created with an array of cut and torn papers, designed to render an impressionistic image that is captivating up close and from afar. Oliver enjoys depicting people, nature, landscapes and still life, but she finds herself gravitating towards trees, saying their strength, resilience and grace are the qualities that inspire her the most – elements that she looks for in all her subjects.
Ceramic artist Amy Oliver of Monkeytown Pottery uses colored slip and bare clay to carve and sculpt images on functional and non functional forms. The vibrancy of nature, trees and birds capture her interest. She is heavily influenced by Art History and the early sculptures and pots of ancient Mesopotamia and the energy of Vincent Van Gogh’s landscapes. Amy is also inspired when drawing with her friend Maria Nicklin, by critiques with her mother, and by her family.
Meet Karen, Amy and other gallery artists at the open to the public reception on Saturday, September 10th, from 5-8 pm.

Classical Guitarist Andrew York
Multi-Grammy award winner Andrew York is one of today’s best loved composers for classical guitar and a performer of international stature. His compositions blend the styles of ancient eras with modern musical directions, creating music that is at once vital, multi-leveled and accessible.
“Andrew York’s eclectic writing and playing constitute one of the hippest styles in American classical guitar . . . his writing projects levels of honesty, spirit and magnetism that are rare in contemporary guitar composition.” – Jim Ferguson, Guitar Player Magazine
Andrew received a Grammy as a member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet during his sixteen years with the cutting-edge ensemble. York’s compositions have been featured on Grammy-winning recordings by Jason Vieaux (CD “Play”, featuring Andrew’s iconic composition “Sunburst”, 2015) and Sharon Isbin (CD “Journey to the New World” featuring “Andecy”, 2010). In 2006 Andrew recorded and performed with the Atlanta Symphony for the opera “Ainadamar” by Osvaldo Golijov. The recording of “Ainadamar” (Deutsche Gramophone) won two Grammy awards.
