GREEN SPACE Gallery at TF Green International Airport, a partnership between the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) and the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC), announced the opening of its winter exhibit featuring works by John Chamberlin, Rafael Medina and Masha Ryskin, all are from Providence. The exhibit runs through mid-May.

John Chamberlin taught for 31 years at RISD in the Department of Teaching and Learning in Art + Design, retiring in 2019. Around 2014, John began taking lessons in quilt making and has since made more than 120 quilts. He has traded several, sold a few, and donated to both St. Mary’s Home for Children, and the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Foundation. The remainder have been donated to Rhode Island Child Family Services, who distributes them to foster children.

Rafael Medina is a Dominican-American street photographer whose work seeks to see past skylines and popular buildings to explore the crevices of the city, finding those brief moments and overlooked spaces that reveal the narrative of a place. Rafael is also a well-known portrait, event and concert photographer.

Masha Ryskin is a Russian-born immigrant artist. She received an academic art education in painting in Moscow, Soviet Union, followed by a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the University of Michigan. Her recent projects, both individual and collaborative, focus on the ambiguity of a sense of place and displacement through landscape, and its elements and the direct experience of the environment.

The 2023 exhibitors for the Block Island Gallery were chosen by panelists Lois Harada, Providence, and Jon Baylor, Wakefield.

Exeter’s Suzanne Taetzsch was born and raised in New Jersey and has lived and worked in Rhode Island since 2008. She trained as a metalsmith and earned a BFA from State University of New York at New Paltz. After exhibiting in the craft and jewelry world for many years, a connection with other artists led to a position at a non-profit artists’ space, where she was introduced to photography. When she found abstract painting, it felt like coming home. Learn more, click here.

GREEN SPACE Gallery at TF Green International Airport, a partnership between the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) and the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC), announced the opening of its winter exhibit featuring works by Meris Barreto, Jessica Hines and Kelsey Miller. Exhibit runs through mid-May.

Meris Barreto lives and works in Providence and is a graduate of RISD. Her work engages ideas and materials that seem inherently opposite in nature and are stripped to their basic elements. It is multidisciplinary, combining aspects of sculpture, painting and writing. Ceramics with paper, bronze with stone, glass with metal, and visual with verbal are dualities that are often paired in single works. Learn more, click here.

Jessica Hines is a Rhode Island native and graduate of RISD. She taught art to students in grades pre-K through eight for 23 years in Catholic Schools, and currently teaches both children and adults at her studio Artful Expressions in Warwick. Jess currently lives in West Warwick. Learn more, click here.

Kelsey Miller is a multi-disciplinary artist born and raised in Antigua and Barbuda, West Indies, and is now based in Portsmouth. Her work is guided by everyday cycles—the rapid pace of news and weather, the slow build of archives and observations—toward an iterative practice of recording, altering, accumulating, and distributing that manifests in prints and large-scale installations. Kelsey currently lives in Portsmouth. Learn more, click here.

“RISCA is thrilled to be highlighting three exceptional RI artists at this gallery, which provides travelers coming and going to our state a vision of the creativity here,” Faye Zuckerman, spokesperson for RISCA, said. “It’s a treat for first time visitors and residents to discover RI’s thriving and diverse arts community.”
