Life Expressions: Paintings by the Tuesday Painters of Frederick County
Hello All,
From June 7-29, Links Bridge Vineyards will be hosting an an exhibit of artwork by The Tuesday Painters of Frederick County. This group includes Sandra Cook, Linda Goddard, Saboora Haider, Noralie Katsu, Jodi O’Connell, Don Ouelette, Mary Pfister, Val Raba, Kristin Simanek, and Emily Sloviko.
The Tuesday Painters originated over 33 years ago when Mary Pfister first offered her “Tuesdays with Mary” art instruction. Since that time, artists from those classes, having reached a high level of excellence, have continued to come together on a regular weekly basis. The weekly gatherings in Mary’s studio provide an opportunity for producing paintings and a place to offer and receive support and encouragement. Gathering in the studio provides a comfortable place for the artists to learn, motivate, and inspire each other.

These accomplished painters work in representational styles, using oil or acrylic in a variety of techniques and individual expression, ranging from detailed realism to more impressionistic methods. The artists regularly exhibit and sell their work, having inspired devoted collectors for years. A common thread is the expression of the love and appreciation of nature in their work.
In addition to forming lasting friendships, Tuesday Painters is a group that has grown to respect each other and the intense work that goes into creating beautiful and enduring art.

A reception for the Tuesday Painters will be held in our tasting room on Sunday June 8 from 1 to 4 pm. Many of the artists contributing to the exhibit will be on hand to chat about their paintings, goals, techniques and methods. We are looking forward to meeting visitors, greeting old and new friends, and enjoying the lovely surroundings of the vineyards.
Y’all come!

Hello all,
Throughout March (known far and wide as Maryland Wine Month) the Links Bridge tasting room will be hosting an exhibit of photographs by Luna (Monika Greene) entitled Elements of Grandeur: A Journey Through Nature, Light, and Form. In these photos, you will experience a world where nature, structure, and light collide in moments of boldness and serenity. These scenes are not simply sights; they are experiences, alive in their stillness. At the heart of this collection, a single portrait offers an intimate glimpse into the human soul as a quiet anchor for this journey through the external world.

Luna is an award-winning photographer, artist, and author of several books. Her photography has been showcased at Ty Framing and Art and in locally produced movies. She is gaining recognition from other professional artists and movie producers for her ability to capture emotion and light through her unique artistic approach.
Available to view in the Links Bridge tasting room from March 1-30, 11 am – 6 pm on weekends and on other days by appointment (301-466-2413).

Hello All,
We have just reopened after a short winter’s nap and we’re looking forward to seeing you again!
We wanted to let you know that from February 1-28, we will be hosting digital artwork by Allen Hirsh, a mathematician/biophysicist by profession who has used the tools of his trade to construct fascinating pictures from ordinary photographs made around Links Bridge Vineyards. Hirsh has created a massive mathematical program that manipulates both the color and position of each pixel in the photograph, and weird and wonderful scenes result when the transformed pixels are reassembled into a new image. You will like them!

Hirsh lives and works in Chevy Chase, Maryland. He received his BS in Biology from Cal Tech and his Ph.D. in Plant Physiology at the University of Maryland at College Park. Inspired by the power of mathematics in the sciences, he has crafted a new form of mathematical art. He has been juried into over 90 shows and has won twelve awards. He is a member of The Foundry, the Chevy Chase Artists Group, the Capitol ill Arts League, and the Maryland Federation of Art. He is a juried member of the National Association of Digital Artists and of the Cape Cod Art Center in Barnstable, Massachusetts. To view more of his work, and learn about his conception of mathematical art, see his The Abstract Gardener and AllenHirshArtist websites.

Reception: If you come by the Links Bridge tasting room on Saturday February 8 between 2 and 4 pm, you’ll find Allen on hand to talk about his work and demonstrate his novel methods. He will bring his computer and make additional Links Bridge images while people watch. You’ll see the computer rapidly process millions of pixels, producing images that are surprising and often stunningly beautiful, revealing a hidden world of fascinating and unanticipated scenes.
We hope you’ll come by, either for the reception or just to see these pictures!
Cheers,
Bob & Joan
