Reception welcomes new member to gallery

SARANAC LAKE — NorthWind Fine Arts is very pleased to welcome new member Becky Johnson with an opening reception on Friday, Jan. 31, from 5 to 7 p.m. The gallery is located at 85 Main St., Saranac Lake and is open Thursday-Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Johnson brings a new dimension to the gallery with her unique wall art pieces made of reclaimed wood. Startlingly beautiful, they capture the old and new essence of the Adirondacks in a fresh way.

Johnson writes, “My evolution of working with wood in an artistic way began due to an abundance of scrap pieces from our fixer-upper, project house. I am drawn to upcycling in a way that reclaims what was heading to the garbage or the stove, and creates a new purpose for the material. Weathered farm fencing, barn boards or house renovation scraps. Experimenting with various ways they can come together to create a wood canvas. Each time, I hope that the living quality of the wood itself can be brought forward to enliven the pieces, with its own nuanced patterns, texture and patina.

Starting at $1.44/week.
