JUDITH FERRARA
Judith Ferrara b. 1942 Exhibit Statement These works are from two series. One is made with ink and pencil on clay board and is called “bibelots,” a French term for small objects of curiosity, beauty, and rarity. In 2016, when I decided to reduce the size of the boards to just 6” by 6” by 2,” I named them bibelots because they are objects that mimic small boxes. Curiosity draws viewers close to examine intricate abstract patterns and shapes. Beauty – I believe each work possesses that quality. Rarity – that’s the one-of-a-kind nature of most art.
In 2019, I began to work on the second series, one in which I layered art tissue over older works that were ready for a new life. Through the translucence of or gaps in the tissue, former lives are still visible, which could be understood as either a rebirth or an encore!

EVELINE LUPPI
Eveline Luppi b.1951 Capturing the moment's complexity of the human psyche is the driving force of Lara B.'s paintings. The pensive physiognomies, ethereal scenes, and complex textures open gateways into worlds full of hidden secrets and emotions.
Luppi was strongly influenced by the Dutch painter Mondrian: she was drawn to his painting Broadway Boogie Woogie with its rhythmic movements, colorful geometric forms, and overall structure. Its great title—referencing a lively dance on an energetic street in the center of Manhattan. Eveline Luppi’s work is both highly emotional and emblematic of the complexities of contemporary life. She is committed to self-discovery and makes her personal narrative accessible to the viewer.
MARY MUGURDICHIAN
Mary Mugurdichian b. 1924 d. 2010 of New York City and East Hampton, Mary was born in Providence and lived for a short time in Cranston before moving to New York, where she lived most of her adult life. Mary had an extensive career on Wall Street for over 40 years. Mary had many interests, including the theatre, opera and traveling, but her passion was painting. She studied art at the Art Students League, and had in the past been on the Board of Directors there.
HELENA STOCKAR
Helena Stockar b. 1933 d. 2013 received a degree in industrial design from the School of Design in Prague. Seeking political freedom, she emigrated to the US in 1968. Helena brings to her work a deep knowledge of the history of art, as well as an obsession with people and color. She has exhibited in major cities in the US, Czech Republic and Scotland. Her paintings and drawings are in art collections all around the world, including Johnston & Wales University and Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, RI
