A selection of intimate landscapes, seascapes and still lifes. Reception from 5- 8pm. Harold Howell is a self-taught artist, a student of art history, an observer of nature, and a follower of the mystical tradition.
From the artist: When I was young and receiving my first impressions, I remember an underlying magic and mystery emanating from the physical world. The sky, the trees, the stones, the stars, around every corner there was some potential wonder that required only the spark of imagination to ignite. My belief is that the artists’ job is to explore the mystery - not to solve it, not to offer an explanation, but to say, here it is, make of it what you will…

Roderick Hidalgo is a self-taught artist and gallery owner in Hockessin, Delaware. His work can be found in private collections across the United States as well as in Canada. His work has been featured at the Chris White Gallery where he served on the Chris White Gallery Committee that curates its exhibitions. Most recently, Hidalgo's works have been displayed in a solo exhibition at the Delaware Contemporary. He has also curated exhibitions in partnerships with CreateInWilm, ART WRX, and Moving Parts Collective, and has also worked as the lead mural artist for the Creative Vision Factory at the Chris Sturmfels Youth Center. He was featured in Issue X of Create! Magazine. Hidalgo opened his own gallery, RH Gallery & Studios, in 2017 and presents bi-monthly art exhibitions showcasing local and international artists. The studio space is rented out to local artists. He teaches art at Wilmington's Nativity Preparatory School, and he was presented with Capital One Bank's Wilmington Art Program Honorarium award. He is the recipient of the Delaware Contemporary’s 2019 Gretchen Cummins Hupfel Award.
Artist Statement: “My works are a composition of visual art and science; bringing the two together to re-create specific natural elements of the environments that surround us in our daily lives. My work is about a deeper understanding of and connection with each other, and a focus on mindful intentionalism, which enables me to notice small, seemingly insignificant details and incorporate them into my work. I combine organic compounds, powdered pigments, beeswax, and liquid resin, a unique process that has allowed me to create art that evokes life in all forms, down to pieces that even have a ‘cellular’ aesthetic. The marrying of these mediums is the beauty: the pieces themselves are like little habitats, almost as if the canvas becomes a living entity.”

Don't miss this special exhibition featuring works by visual artist and longtime Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD) professor Constance (Connie) M. Simon (1947-2021) before it closes! Twenty of Connie’s 37 years as a Wilmington resident were spent teaching in DCAD’s Fine Art Department. As a professor, Connie inspired and motivated not only students and faculty, but the entire DCAD community. While many know Connie as a generous, kind, and supportive professor, she was also a prolific artist.
With an impressive exhibition resume spanning 50 years, Connie’s work has been featured solo and group shows across the country. This retrospective of her drawings and paintings — many inspired by her travels — pays tribute to her commitment to her creative process. Her impact as a professor is in many ways immeasurable if it were not for the 1000+ DCAD alumni who benefited from the curricula she developed, and which still underpins the College’s Foundation Year curriculum. Her presence will continue to be felt at the DCAD for years to come. We invite you to join in this celebration of her life and artistry. Join us for the Art Loop reception from 5-7pm.

Baby grand Gallery: Beth Trepper
Beth Trepper: Ireland, my ancestral homeland, has beckoned me to her shores more than twenty times, many accompanied by my beloved partner, Bill. Hiking daily from the door of our rural seaside cottage in the rugged west of Ireland, we grew intimately familiar with the mountains, rivers and bog land of this gorgeous country.
Bill passed in 2014. My world was rocked; I was forever changed. I had no idea how I would forge a life without him, and I certainly never expected to return to Ireland.
But I did. Something drew me back, again and again. Ireland stirs my soul, nourishes me, bathes me in her warmth, her stirring music and breathtaking beauty. Like an intimate friend, she has helped me through my grief and brought joy back into my life.
“The Madwoman of the Bog” was inspired by my loss. To this day, when I walk the green fields and barren plains of Ireland, I look for Bill. I feel his presence, I hear his laughter. I long for him. I always will. I began to imagine a woman, so overcome with grief when her lover vanishes, that she spends eternity searching for him. Her story is more tragic than mine, yet I feel her pain and despair. I have spent the last several years shooting self-portraits to illustrate my poem. Nowhere in Ireland is there a more mysterious and mythical region than the bog - the ancient natural wetlands from where peat is harvested for fuel, where an entire ecosystem of plants and wildlife are sustained, and from where some of Ireland’s greatest legends originate.
What better place than the bog for the Madwoman to appear, to haunt the landscape, to launch her epic, futile journey?

We all have passions and dreams to be discovered, pasts to be guessed at, and futures that are still to unfold. SOULS is a collection of portraits that seeks to both capture and tell some of those stories. Long fascinated by the human condition, Flavia Loreto aims to go beyond the physical externalities of her subjects, and to capture their very essence.
The exhibition, hosted in the hallways of Wilmington’s Music School of Delaware, shows 20 black and white portraits of men and women in different ages, nationalities and professions. The portraits are labeled only with the subject’s first name, ceding power to the audience to go beyond the image, imagining the stories behind the photographs and also to create new stories of their own.
Born and raised in Rome, Flavia Loreto developed her passion for portrait photography as a way to connect to others, and to better understand emotions and feelings. After 20 years living and working as a photographer in Germany, Flavia relocated to the US, where she continues to study the human condition through her photography. Among her exhibitions: Donne (Düsseldorf 2013), A Day in Naples (San Francisco 2017). She collaborated on books like - L’arte in cucina (Mondadori 2018) - and - La Valle del Silicio (Italian Foreign Ministry 2019).
Old Swedes Historic Site

Join us for the Art Loop reception from 5-9pm with music, cash bar, appetizers and onsite, free parking.
Artists’ Statement: The History of America has always been a unique source of inspiration for artists. While growing up on Long Island and now residing in my adoptive state of Delaware I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty and historic charm of both regions. At Old Swedes and in other parts of this area there are stories of both local and national interest to be discovered.
Using my background in painting and illustration I like to express my fascination of these historic surroundings by depicting the people, both well-known or otherwise, which have help mold their communities along in this quickly changing world. I enjoy using various media such as graphite, wash and oil. My style leans toward an Americana and primitive look in many cases which I believe is well suited to the subjects I draw and paint.

Nupur Nishith is New Jersey based artist inspired by the art from her birthplace, Mithila or Madhubani paintings, an ancient folk art from India. Over the years, Nupur has evolved this ancient art form into her own distinct style by fusing the contemporary ideas with the traditional art using modern tools.
The Mithila Art form is famous for the details in the paintings in a flat two-dimensional perspective with no shading or overlapping. Taking it to the next level, Nupur draws inspiration for her art from day-to-day experiences and surroundings. She visualizes objects and situations in perspective to create the symbolic motifs and designs which makes her art unique and distinct. Mithila paintings use natural and bright colors with symbolic distinct features.

Because each of these works never really satisfied, because all needed to be reworked-sometimes drastically-to take them to a conclusion, I titled the show Recycled. Some resisted my process until I better understood what potential they held. Others just required some time aside until I caught up with them, often, I was never really able to see the final result until it was right there in front of me. That they are shown in the gallery means a work is finally done.

Cab Calloway School of the Arts
100 North Dupont St. Wilmington, DE 19805



The works by the Delaware Division of the Arts Award Winners are appearing at Cab Calloway School of the Arts from October 7 to November 4, 2022, with a reception on Friday, October 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. Meet the artists to congratulate them on their recognition, socialize in the courtyard, tour the art in the gallery, and enjoy performances and readings by the award-winning artists.
These Delaware artists have been recognized for their outstanding quality of work. The exhibition includes multiple mediums. Visual arts on display include paintings, polymer, photography, charcoal, sculptures, and media arts. Samples of literary winners’ works can be perused in a reading nook, and performance pieces are available for one’s listening pleasure.
The talent of the 2022 winners is amazing! The Division received work samples from 132 Delaware artists and 25 were awarded fellowships. The selected fellows reside throughout Delaware including Dover, Georgetown, Hockessin, Lewes, Magnolia, Middletown, Newark, Smyrna, Townsend, and Wilmington.
Masters Fellow Linda Blaskey was a writer from the start: “I was always getting into trouble in school because I was writing stories rather than paying attention in class.” Fortunately, she had encouraging teachers, and once she set out on her path, there was no turning back.
Emerging artist Stephanie Boateng has owned a business since she was 18 years of age selling prints, originals, and stickers of her art. Now the recent University of Delaware graduate is beginning her career as a professional artist, hoping to share the joy she feels when making her work. “My portraits are very emotional beings,” created to be “an experience of happiness, love, and beauty” both for herself and her viewers.
Established artist Joseph Barbaccia is “continuously excited about how a specific medium which is traditionally used in one genre can be expanded to a successful level in another.” In 2018 he moved to Georgetown, Delaware where his workspace was smaller. He landed on polymer clay as “the perfect choice.” The material – with its transparency and a full color spectrum – allows him to create in both two and three dimensions.
Emerging artist Maia Palmer, in addition to her career as an artist, is also a faculty member at Cab Calloway School of the Arts! She is the high school Visual Arts teacher, and loves sharing her talent and passion for the arts with her students. She particularly enjoys “the immediacy of drawing . . . the grittiness of charcoal. I love that I can work directly with my hands on the paper.” Her large scale charcoal self-portraits address her personal journey as a migraine sufferer.
About Cab Calloway School of the Arts: Cab Calloway School of the Arts (CCSA) is the premiere public school with an arts-based curriculum in the state of Delaware. Founded in 1992 by a group of parents seeking quality education in a motivating environment, the school is part of the Red Clay Consolidated School District (RCCSD).

ARTISTS’ STATEMENT: Prepare, then risk. Whether the project at hand is a Calligraphic Document, a Watercolor Painting or a combination of the two, the dynamic stroke is the holy grail of my work. Bravery in handling the pen and brush yields power. Much preliminary work goes into laying down the master stroke. I practice until the stroke is ready and then execute confidently and fearlessly. Hopefully, the proverbial “Stroke of Genius” is achieved. While a subject may be quiet, this is not the same as uncertainty and even calm pieces must be executed bravely.

Lynne Robinson creates brilliantly colored designs with alcohol-ink." Alcohol-ink is a fascinating medium to work in – affording a myriad of possibilities created by inking tiles, metals, or non-porous paper. What starts out as a blank space ends up somewhere totally different than was originally planned – such is the nature of how the inks blend and dry and create their own world."
Her show features over 75 framed ink works, handmade notecards, inked necklaces – All for sale.
Living in the Newark – Elkton area since 1969, Lynne attended the University of Delaware, taught in Delaware public schools, and volunteered locally since retiring in 1997. A chance rescue of a 112-pound golden retriever named Boo in 2003 changed Lynne’s life and sent it on a course toward pet therapy. Now, founder and executive director of the pet-therapy organization, PAWS for People, Lynne is a believer of the profound and positive impact a visit from a pet can have on anyone – not only those physically, emotionally, or psychologically in need. Overseeing PAWS 650+ therapy teams, 13 employees, and 190 partnering sites where PAWS’ teams visit keeps Lynne out of trouble – most of the time. When she discovered the magic and vibrancy of alcohol inks during a class given at the Newark Arts Alliance, she quickly turned her spare time from emails to inking, inking, inking! She shares her love of alcohol ink through art festivals, demonstrations, and teaching classes.

Art Loop reception from 5-7pm with live music, tasting, etc. Exhibition closes on October 30, 2022.
Artist Statement: I fling paint. I shoot it through a straw. I drip it. Splatter it. I use a brush and palette knife but mostly my fingers. Whatever my intuition says, I do. The colors that call out to me are the ones that end up on the paper.
Everyone is creative. Though we don't need any special talent to make art, many of us are too inhibited to let our creative intuition have much of a say in our lives.
Intuitive painting is a path for cultivating inner trust and becoming comfortable with not knowing what will show up. It’s about the process, not the product. Lack of concern about what the final piece looks like puts a quick end to inhibition.
My art is an invitation to the viewer to accept the beautiful mess inherent in their own lives as I welcome it in mine.

From "Mass Confusion to "New Beginnings", "Hope", "Gateway", "Passing Time", "Mitzu", and "Reconnecting", I produced Garden Sculptures that reflected the experiences we felt as we navigated through this ever-evolving epidemic. My Current project is titled "Suspended Animation" as we face the unknown once again in 2022. The show closes Sunday, March 6th. Art Loop hours: 10am- 5pm
David Burslem: My art has evolved over the last 56yrs as I have combined my design, painting, photography and sculpture inspirations into what I call "Sculptural Abstract Landscapes". My desire to produce new and innovative works of art inspired me to continue to make art as I worked mainly as a home remodeling contractor, which gave me the tools and new materials to work with.0

Special guest added to this show - the debut of sculptural artisan Bobby Weeks ‘Shovelhead’ - do not miss this!!
'Neo Pop' is largely the term used to describe Joshua's body of work. The thought process takes on a satirical view of social, popular and cultural statements and ideas. He examines the American dream thru color while combining the cult of celebrity, comic aesthetics, music heroes, portrayed by strong projective narratives. While using familiar visual signs and icons, he arranges bright, layered paintings. Joshua uses a large arsenal of mediums that include aerosol, acrylic, oil and ink to just about anything he can get his hands on to give life and form to his style.
Sip, snack and enjoy objects d'art this 4th Friday in Historic New Castle. The show will be on display through the month of March with the last day on the 25th.
