2024: Fall Art Show

Whimsical Art by dd Design

dd Designs can be defined by one word, whimsical. Using bright, bold, vivid colors, Devin creates artwork that perks people up, uplifts them, and makes people smile. The designs themselves seem 3 dimensional, as if they are popping off the canvas. After Devin creates a piece of art, she always names it, but she is so interested in hearing what others “see” in her art. Art is subjective, no two people will see it the same way. Her desire is to inspire young people to pursue their dreams and to dream in color!

Please join us for the opening reception of our spring art show, Bridging the Abstract, featuring works by Lisa Hayden of Melted Theory, and light refreshments.

Lisa Hayden's Website: 

This mini art show invites viewers to slow down, reflect, and find beauty in their own world. Through her paintings, Atefeh Yazdanparast strives to portray the beauty hidden in the ordinary, a cup of coffee steaming in the morning light, a colorful stack of French macaroons, or two little red apples resting side-by-side. These paintings are a gentle reminder to savor life's simple pleasures and treasure the joy found in everyday objects.

             

The Sherborn Library's Fall 2023 art exhibit featured two local artists who both focus on capturing moments in nature and the world around us.  Aidan Garrity is a wildlife photographer, based in Framingham, who captures detailed photos of wild animals in their environments. Obie Miller is an en plein air painter who learns directly from nature by immersing himself completely into the environment. For this show, Miller has focused on nearby locations in Sherborn, Dover and Holliston.

The Sherborn Library’s inaugural art show in the newly opened library featured 10 local artists from Dover and Sherborn.  These artists all contributed pieces that represent their collections and together, these pieces created an amazing assortment of art from the community.
