Spring rites


Monica Bradbury’s paintings of baseball players and landscapes and Sondra Gold’s small sculptures signal the arrival of spring at the Upstream Gallery in Dobbs Ferry (through April 24).   __________________________________________________________________________

Sondra Gold's highly kinetic yet formal sculptures are energized by their relationship to the light around them. Says Gold: “The shadows these pieces cast are as important as the negative spaces that appear and disappear as the piece is viewed from different angles."

Bradbury's drawings offer a view into the language of her paintings, while being highly gestural in their own right. Of her work, she says:  "I am a landscape painter, constantly responding to and being challenged by what I see of the world around me.  Everything interests me, from water running over rocks in a river to the New York skyline. There is a whole universe of possibilities in every scene.”

The gallery is at 26 Main St. 591-7135, upstreamgallery.com
