Photographs by Chris Demeter

 bjsartworks Gallery is dedicated to educate and support emerging artists in the area. Upon visiting my gallery a few months ago, Chris Demeter came in and asked some questions about where to go with his photography and I encouraged him to take on a project in hopes of giving him a direction in his love of photography. We came up with the theme Matt. 7: 7-8.

Chris did the work of traveling around the area to take photographs of area church doors.

What he came up with is a beautiful variety of styles, color and texture that reflect our community of church doors.

Along with this photography show bjsartworks is hosting the 4th Annual

Lake George High School Ceramic Show

She started out in 2006 in a small unit on 152 Main Street in Hoosick Falls, NY.  It wasn't too long that an opportunity arose for her to quit her day job, move to Glens Falls, NY and try out her business at a cool place called "The Shirt Factory" where a whole community of artists, artisans and healing arts established themselves in the historical 100 year old factory.  The business is growing and the gallery continues to represent regional artists, serve the community with professional picture framing and offer original work in pastel which include portraits of people, families, homes and animals along with landscapes and still life.

Bev is co-founder of the Adirondack Pastel Society and is now president of this well respected group of pastel artists. You can find this group on facebook for the latest news and postings.
