Art Reception, Friday, May 8
From 5–7pm, the public is invited to attend a reception for an exhibition featuring paintings by Tim Schloemer and Julie Gargan, both of whom are inspired by the natural world.
Tim Schloemer has been a landscape painter for over 30 years, but most of his career has been spent behind the scenes handling some of the world's greatest masterpieces as an art handler or preparator. He has staged exhibits for the MIT Museum, a large private art collection in Boston, and the New York State Museum. After living in Germany and traveling in Europe for a few years, Tim came to New York State to work on his Master's Degree at SUNY Albany, where he found inspiration in the rolling hills and mountains of the Adirondacks, the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Monadnock Region. Tim and his wife, Denise maintain a farm and studio in Greenfield, New Hampshire, just a few miles from Mount Monadnock, which has served as a source of inspiration for countless landscape painters. Tim has exhibited locally at the Spring Hill Studio in Sharon, NH and the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Stowe, Vermont.
Based in Harrisville, Julie Gargan’s work is inspired by the natural beauty of the Monadnock Region. Since 2022, she has participated in the Monadnock Art Tour, and has exhibited at the Jaffrey Civic Center, the Monadnock Center for History and Culture, and other local venues. Primarily self-taught, Julie continually explores new techniques and approaches to her work. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Large Animal Science, which informs her keen attention to anatomy and lends authenticity to her depictions of wildlife. The landscapes surrounding her home, along with her travels in Africa and her husband’s Zimbabwean heritage, influence her subject matter. Whether working on canvas or found materials such as slate, birch bark, or salvaged barn board, Gargan enjoys using organic mediums, creating art that invites viewers to step inside the landscape and feel a deeper connection to the subject.
Exhibition runs Wed, May 5 - Tues, June 2, available for viewing and purchase during Dubhub open hours and by appointment. For more information about these artists, please visit our website.
