Artery exhibit combines glasswork and photography

MILFORD, PA — The newest exhibit at The Artery Gallery, opening Thursday, October 12 and running through Sunday, November 5, will feature photography by Randall Fitzgerald and artistry in glass by Elisa Ferracane. There will be an artists’ reception on Saturday, October 15 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Fitzgerald lives in Layton, NJ. He is a biologist, behavioral ecologist and environmental educator with Montclair State University’s School of Conservation in Branchville, NJ. Fitzgerald has pursued photography for over 35 years, photographing a variety of subject matter and studying the works of many of the great photographic artists. His love of the natural environment has permeated both his professional and photographic life, and his fine art images reflect the intimacy he enjoys with the natural world. The exhibit includes a variety of prints from Switzerland, Kentucky and the Florida Everglades.

Ferracane, a noted artist and designer, will be displaying works in glass. Her glasswork includes multicolored, hand-formed vases with etched figures and designs. Her work is highly prized by collectors and is in the collections of notables such as former President and Mrs. George H. W. Bush, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Geraldine Ferraro.

The back room of the spacious Artery Gallery will house a special exhibit titled “Jewels of the Sea,” featuring a large glass table decorated with aquatic designs hand carved and etched by Ferracane. There will be an abundance of luminescent sea creatures carved in glass along with marine life photographs by Fitzgerald.

The Artery Gallery is located in the Forest Hall Building at the stop light in Milford. Gallery hours are Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Monday 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
