"Fish Sticks"
Cassie Doyon works in mixed media with a focus on mosaics. Her work has been exhibited throughout the Northeast and
in Guatemala. Doyon, who earned degrees from Salem State University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts/Tufts University, uses a variety of materials, including natural, foraged and found items such as sea glass, bone, driftwood and stone. Her use of color is widely variable, from muted earth tones to bright, psychedelic hues.
“Mosaics tend to be structured and planned; I often incorporate spontaneity and serendipity within my pieces. I am particularly focused on surface design and pushing the boundaries of sculpture with unconventional, repurposed materials.
“Much of my artwork is abstract in style and form, reflecting my
lifelong interest in tribal art and artifacts from around the world.
I was born and raised in a seaside town; the ocean has been a
powerful, repetitive theme through most every piece of art I have
made. I like to create ‘color and texture memories’ of places I’ve visited over the years, and to explore macro and micro-environments in nature.”

"My Love"
My art responds to the personal and the universal human experience.
I strive to transform these experiences into sculptures, both abstract and figurative, to capture motion and to express deep emotions.
I utilize a range of mediums such as clay, resin, bronze, stone, natural and exotic wood, and I continue to explore and try out additional mediums and techniques.
Memy Ish-Shalom is a sculptor working in clay, bronze, resin, stone and wood.
Born in 1960 and raised in Jerusalem, Israel, he initially relocated to the USA in 2002, and later emigrated and settled in Newton, Massachusetts. In 2014, he ended a 30 years career in technology, thus allowing himself to focus entirely on making sculptures.
Ish-Shalom’s works were exhibited in several museums and included in over 40 group exhibitions and one person shows. He received several awards. His works appear in public and private art collections. Two of his large granite sculptures are part of the permanent – “New Art Archeology” art collection - of the YV Art museum in Acton, MA.

"Safety Net"
Joyce Audy Zarins studied at Massachusetts College of Art and the University of New Hampshire and holds a degree from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts / Tufts University, where she learned to weld and cast. Her work has been exhibited in New England, New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, and other outdoor sculpture shows and museum-affiliated exhibits. She is a New England Sculptors Association member and recipient of grants from the New Hampshire State Council for the Arts and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
“Exploring the intersection between the natural world and humanity, I use steel, bronze and other media to express impressions in solid form. The focus is on environmental concepts, shapes, or materials in order to reexamine who and what we are. ‘Safety Net’ is a response to societal pressures on significant segments of the population, yet it is ultimately the natural world that supports our existence.”
As for “Wind Elaborator,” the artist says, “Air currents and wind can be subtle or forceful, yet they are invisible. Only their effects on entities — pushing, turning, lifting — can be seen. Lightweight objects stir with the slightest breeze, while a stronger gust will cause more dramatic movement. In contrast with fixed or geometric form, moving air is ephemeral, though no less powerful.”
