For the month of November, The Gallery at the Glen Rock Public Library welcomes the artwork of Kristin Marchesiello. Ms. Marchesiello is an award-winning artist from Glen Rock- previously winning recognition at the Centennial Art Show in 2022 at the Glen Rock Public Library. Ms. Marchesiello grew up on Long Island and lived in Manhattan for several years. She and her family settled in Glen Rock in 2019. Ms. Marchesiello has pursued the arts since childhood, first with drawing but then focusing on painting and printmaking. Throughout the years, her subject matter evolved often reproducing works she viewed in museums. She now largely focuses on floral still-life with vibrant colors and shadows. Although her most recent work has been in acrylic paints, she also works in oils, which she learned to use through the adult education program at Midland Park High School, in partnership with the Glen Rock Community School.
The Gallery is also showing ceramic sculptures, made by "Tiny Brownstones Ceramics, born from a Brooklyn-based journey of creativity and inspiration, offers ceramic sculptures and candle houses that encapsulate the charm of brownstone living. Founded by an artist who discovered the art of pottery during their time in the heart of Brooklyn, these miniature brownstone sculptures are not just a testament to their maker's ongoing learning journey in the world of ceramics, but also a heartfelt endeavor to bring joy and happiness to all who light them up in their living rooms or bedrooms. Each piece is a testament to the enduring allure of Brooklyn's iconic brownstones, distilled into tangible, captivating art that elevates any space it graces.
