Bluestone's first show

Milford — The BlueStone Gallery is hosting its first major exhibition since its opening earlier this year. Starting July 3, BlueStone will exhibit the work of Laurie Mason Goddard, a nationally known artist exhibiting in the Hudson Valley for the first time, in a show entitled “Lyrical Abstractions.” Goddard’s paintings are contemporary abstract landscapes created with smooth layers of glazes and colors that reflect her time spent in Italy, Japan and western Massachusetts. She is influenced by the great modernists and abstract expressionists. “It is a great privilege to have Laurie Goddard join the amazing group of talented artists who are already part of the BlueStone Community” said gallery owner Robert Levine. BlueStone Gallery features a unique collection of fine and functional art and has already become a center for intimate cultural events in Milford. “Lyrical Abstractions,” will run from July 3 through Aug. 16, with an artist’s reception Friday, July 3, from 5 to 9 p.m. BlueStone Gallery is located at 104 East Ann Street in Milford and is open Friday through Sunday each week from 11 a.m. through 6 p.m.
