Martin, trained as an engineer, takes pride in “building” his photographs “without artificial enhancement.” Martin will present his storm-related photographs from his travels across North America.

A devoted lifelong sailor, Thurston expresses his love of the sea through his oversize land and seascapes. A professional interior designer, he received his training at the Parsons School of Design and the New York School of Interior Design. He developed his artistic style and technique at New York’s prestigious Art Students League and is currently a member of the Garrison Art Center’s Leadership Circle.

Also on exhibition is The Evolution of Shape, with mixed-media artists Carol Flaitz and Cindy Booth. David Fischweicher will exhibit his metal sculptures in the garden. Fischweicher works with steel and wood. From these few elements he creates an infinite number of shapes with motion in space.

Gallery 66 NY is located at 66 Main St. in Cold Spring and is open Thursdays through Sundays, noon to 6 p.m. For more information, call 845-809-5838 or visit gallery66ny.com.
