Exhibitions The gallery mounts about six exhibitions per year. Generally each Spring we focus on an artist's estate and each Fall we focus on our contemporary program. Summers are often a time to experiment and will sometimes feature shows not necessarily related to our program. In between exhibitions we are open to the public and will often hang gallery inventory.

    • In 2004 we made an exhibition of Abstract Expressionist collage titled "Well Put Together." The show was very well received and now comes version II. This time we are combining a far flung assortment of artists including the young, the old and the departed. We are showing both gallery regulars and specially invited artists who we admire. We like collage and we think you do too!

    • Lynne Mapp Drexler was born in Newport News, Virginia in 1928. In the late 1950s, after attending the College of William and Mary in Virginia, she immersed herself in Abstract Expressionism, studying with Hans Hofmann in both his New York and Provincetown schools. From there she went on to graduate study at Hunter College in New York City with Robert Motherwell. In the 1950s that she set her foundation—a synthesis of Post-Impressionist landscape painting and post-war painterly abstraction. The results are something not familiar to most students of the period and her crisp, colorful brushwork allows the artist to sing with a completely original voice. Drexler lived the last 16 years of her life on Monhegan Island with her husband, the painter John Hultberg, she passed away in 1999. Drexler exhibited extensively throughout her life at venues such as Tanager Gallery, Esther Robles Gallery and Westerly Gallery. She is slated for upcoming shows at the Monhegan Museum and the Portland Museum of Art in Maine. Her work is part of the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Monhegan Museum, Farnsworth Museum, Brooklyn Museum and the Queens Museum among others.
