Small Art Works: December, 2024

Her work has been shown throughout the Cape and Western Massachusetts. DaSilva lives and works in Truro.

Artist Talk: November 12th @ 6pm.

Sheryl Jaffe, October 2024

“Made With Water"

Prints, sculptures, pulp paintings and installation with artist made paper of local, exotic and invasive plant fibers.

Sheryl Jaffe has been exhibiting her artwork throughout New York and New England for over 30 years. She works with organic materials, handmade paper from local and exotic plant fibers, and found objects to create 2 and 3 dimensional works that are reminiscent of the human body and the strength and frailty of skin. Her work includes installations, sculpture, artist books, once alive and continue to “breathe”: fibers absorb moisture from the air, the paper “remembers” the process it went through in becoming paper.

Opening Reception: Thursday, October 5th, 4-6pm

Artist Talk: October 16th @ 6pm
