The gallery is incorporated as a non-profit organization of representational and non-representationa
Blue Mountain Gallery, founded in 1980, is located in the heart of New York City’s Chelsea art district. The original mission of the Blue Mountain Gallery was to show the work of strong representational painters and to stimulate the representational tradition of painting which was almost totally absent from New York’s commercial galleries in 1980. Over the years the mission has grown to include bo
th representational and abstract painters. To accomplish this, the members regularly view the slides of artists for inclusion in the gallery, exhibit their work and invite the public to openings of the shows and educational talks. The gallery has held public poetry readings by such notable poets as the late Kenneth Koch, collaborations between poets and painters with the poets reading their work, talks by the late film maker and member, Rudy Burckhardt, and occasional dance recitals. In the last few years it has held an annual juried exhibition as well as an annual small works invitational to encourage larger community involvement for new and emerging artists and has shown artists from Germany and Finland and participated in an exchange show with the Galerie Mani in Berlin. Over the last 30 years, Blue Mountain Gallery has provided artists a gathering place of ideas where painters can communicate visually and verbally and find the support and inspiration of their peers. The Gallery’s longevity in the ever-changing and chaotic world of New York galleries is witness to its value and to the loyal dedication of its members.

The Department of Art at Western Connecticut State University is pleased to announce the 2024 Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition at Blue Mountain Gallery, 547 West 27th Street, Suite 200, New York, NY.
An opening reception will be held on Thursday, June 20, from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibition will run from June 18 through July 6, 2024. The gallery is open for viewing 11 am to 6 pm, Tuesdays through Saturdays.
The MFA Thesis Exhibition is the capstone experience of WCSU’s Department of Art’s Graduate Program. MFA degrees are available in Painting, Illustration, and Interdisciplinary Visual Art. The exhibition is supported by the Jason and Ellen Hancock Student Endowment Fund at WCSU. Six MFA graduates will present their work:
Amy Caco is an Albanian-American illustrator born in Waterbury, CT. Working in a variety of mediums, including colored pencil, watercolor, ink, and digital, she continually explores new materials and methods. Her work is delicate and vulnerable, often influenced by fantasy and folklore, and recently incorporating poetry. “The work should speak for itself,” Amy has said, “but sometimes there are just some things that I want to say.” She values beauty and decorative elements in illustration, while still conveying a sense of mystery and symbolism. In her artist statement, she writes, “I want to experience the world through someone else’s eyes, the same way I want someone to look at my art and understand me.”
Amy earned a BA degree in Illustration from WCSU and has been a Graduate Teaching Assistant in undergraduate illustration courses. Her artwork has been published and exhibited in Danbury and Ridgefield, CT, and she works as a freelance artist with private clients. In 2022 and 2023, she was commissioned to paint two large murals for the Great Hollow Nature Preserve in New Fairfield, CT.
Lucy Gallagher is an artist from Waterbury, CT. She received her BA in Studio Art from WCSU. Her artistic practices include paintings, works on paper, and sculpture. They are a direct reflection of her life, both past and present. Lucy has worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in several art courses, including painting and printmaking. In her own words, she “is inspired by the creative energy that flows through each of us and the importance of nurturing that flame.”
Lucy’s work has been shown in CT galleries, including Alix Gallery in Waterbury and Art in Common Gallery in Ridgefield. Her work was also included in “Human Connection”, a group exhibition curated at the Danbury Fair Mall in 2023. In her artist statement, she writes, “I have this insatiable desire to figure out my identity through creating. My work focuses on moments from my past that remain in my internal narrative, invade my dreams, and constantly remind me that I am human. I embrace the inspiration that comes from my observed world and from within. In response, I create my fantastical truth through the use of color, light, and line.”
Taylor Green, from Waterbury and Danbury, CT, received a BA in Anthropology and Sociology from WCSU, with a minor in Studio Art. She is a visual anthropologist who attempts to not only observe the world around her, but to understand it through creation. Her artwork stems from the human experience of wonder and exploration, as well as research and advocacy. Taylor’s paintings are strongly influenced by her background in social science and social justice; not only painting about humanitarian crises, but more broadly about human experience. Additionally, she is a curator who believes that art can bring people together to spark important conversations.
Taylor’s paintings have been shown at Art in Common Gallery, Ridgefield, CT. During the past year, she has been a Graduate Assistant in The Gallery at the Visual & Performing Arts Center. In summer 2023, she was invited by the Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut to guest curate a group exhibition at the Danbury Fair Mall, which she entitled “Human Connection.” .by.green
Andrew Mark, an illustrator and designer based in Hudson Valley, New York, graduated from Marist College with a BS degree in Digital Media. He typically works in digital illustration, as well as acrylic painting, and pen and ink. His work consists of bright colors and bold outlines reminiscent of animation and comic books, with a focus on character design. In his artist statement, he writes, “I am a passionate storyteller, building entire worlds from scratch and breathing life into characters I create. I enjoy introducing fun and zany characters that are familiar, yet out of this world. My subjects are influenced by folklore and mythology, as well as graffiti art. I also draw much of my inspiration from life experience, particularly within my heritage of being a fourth-generation Chinese-American, and of being bilingual and bicultural.”
Andrew grew up going to anime and comic book conventions through his family’s import toy business, a key influence on his art studies and art career. Andrew is the founder of Kalun Studios, a lifestyle brand dedicated to producing unique, upbeat designs. He has also created work for a variety of clients, including colleges, dining services, local businesses, and festivals.
William John Parrott III is an interdisciplinary artist who utilizes a multitude of processes that draw inspiration from his background in photography, painting, printmaking, spray painting, sculpture, and collage. He was born in Waterbury and resides in Naugatuck, CT. He earned his B.A. in Photography from WCSU. In his artist statement, he writes, “Process is what really drives me in the creation of my art. Using traditional tools in unorthodox and unusual ways to achieve specific marks, indentations, brush strokes, and more, is what helps me set my work apart from the traditional. Getting deeply in touch with the processes I use allows me to enter the state of flow of creation where my hands seem to work on their own, but the touch is still mine. . . This is my method, and where I draw my energy to create.”
William has worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the photography department at WCSU, as well as a Graduate Assistant in The Gallery at the Visual & Performing Arts Center. His work has been exhibited in several galleries, including Art In Common Gallery in Ridgefield.
Denise Rosa of Danbury, CT, is a painter who received her BA degree in Studio Art from WCSU. Her current work is primarily portraiture, some self-portraits, and others of people close to her. Her artist statement reveals much about her painting: “I was born in Brazil and proudly became a U.S. citizen in 2004. My life experience has taught me the importance of balancing reality with a spirit of hope. I am inspired by stories of people who have crossed my life. My landscapes and figurative oil paintings translate memories and recreate those narratives. My work is instinctual, allowing my inner child to express feelings. Light, color, and texture are important elements. There is always a message to be revealed through the viewer’s interpretation. I believe in the power of diversity and creative viewpoints, pushing me to be flexible as an artist and human being.”
In the summer of 2022, Denise was awarded a scholarship to study at the Rome Art Program in Italy. Her work has been shown in various exhibitions, including a mural project in 2022 at the Danbury Fair Mall, where her painting is now in its permanent collection. In March - April 2024, a solo exhibit of her paintings was held at the Danbury Public Library in CT.

Theresa Bartol : Bach to Nature
May 21 - June 15, 2024
Closing Reception and Group Discussion: June 15th, 3-5 pm What are we seeking and responding to in NATURE AND THE WOODS
Blue Mountain Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of landscape paintings by Theresa Bartol. The paintings take us on her journey in which she withdraws from all associations of the material world created by man and surrenders herself to Nature and its messages. Each painting presents a musical composition of light and colors.
Early influences of Music and Nature.
In the 1970's Theresa was given an old Horizon Magazine which contained a page of J.S. Bach's musical composition to the Prelude in B Minor. Upon seeing this page, she instinctively began to paint floral compositions inspired by the printed musical notes. As a teenager she played the violin and saw how the series of notes suggested movement graphically and in musical harmony. From then on, she has woven ideas about music into her work.
As a child Theresa started to explore the woods with her grandmother, a teacher who taught her how to pick leaves which were used for food. Thereafter she would walk the woods frequently finding the woods nurturing and peaceful. She continues to seek refuge and nurture in the woods, guided by her Grandmother in spirit.
Her undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Physics from Brooklyn College expanded her vision of Nature and the woods. The woods now became a series of objects whose growth was determined by the light each object reflected. Each tree reflects its own unique color, each leaf its unique color.
Theresa has been exhibiting her work in solo and group shows since 1972. Her paintings are in collections in America, Japan and Europe. She wishes to acknowledge her gratitude to Milton Resnick, Philip Guston, Esteban Vicente and Philip Pearlstein all who gave her their knowledge, enthusiasm, inspiration and encouragement.

Lost Trees - Alive on Gallery Walls
April 23 - May 18, 2024
Blue Mountain Gallery presents Janet Sawyer’s exhibition entitled Lost Trees, paintings done from 2000 to 2023. The artworks were painted in addition to the work she exhibited during that time span. They often reflect personal encounters with much loved trees, recalling Jonathan Goodman’s Art in America review which noted her ability to convey “the joy that comes from intense involvement with one’s surroundings.” Realizing that these trees no longer exist (due to mudslides, pine beetles or new property owners) and that the works had not been shown previously, she has decided to present them this spring, as trees revive.
There are eight acrylic on canvas paintings, including a 48“ x 144“ triptych and 48 x 90“ diptych as well as 18 gouache or acrylic works on paper.
Janet Sawyer has exhibited continually since 1972. Her work is in collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Reviews include the New York Times, Art in America, Art News, Ms magazine and Where, New York..

Last Days! Carol Heft : Discord and Mercy
March 26 - April 20, 2024
Artist present on Saturdays
The Blue Mountain Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of drawings and paintings by
Carol Heft entitled Discord and Mercy.
The compelling theme of this exhibition is human suffering and resilience; it reflects the ongoing crisis of violence, fear, and ultimately, courage as part of the human condition. There is no specific political agenda reflected in this body of work; the universal themes resonate in our troubled times, as they have throughout history. Interwoven in this theme is the promise of hope, born of empathy through common experience.
Carol Heft is a New York based artist who studied with American master Robert Brackman, became skilled at printmaking and drawing in her youth. She attended the Rhode Island School of Design before moving to New York in the late 1970s. Her eclectic range of mastery includes animated drawings, painting, collage, and both traditional and nontraditional materials and subjects.

Last Week! Helene Manzo: now and again
February 27- March 23, 2024
Artist present on Saturdays throughout exhibition
My paintings and prints begin with observation of the natural world. Mountains, water and skies have been continuous sources of inspiration. All are powerful life forces, ever changing, yet constant. They serve as a point of departure for my exploration of form and the movement color and light. The visible material world is transformed, evoking an emotional reaction to light, color and space.
Monotypes are a unique one-of-a-kind print. The process begins with a smooth plexiglass surface and continues with etching ink that is applied by rollers and other implements to create an image. The image is transferred to acid-free paper by one pass through an etching press. Hence the name “monotype,” as only a single print can be made, an edition of one unique print.
As a painter/printmaker, the qualities of these prints inform my work, blurring the line between painting and printmaking. The pressure of the press facilitates the transfer of the image and also adds to the energy and spontaneity with the uncontrolled movement of the inks. I agree with Roberta Smith, a New York Times art critic, who refers to Monotypes as “the most seductive of all print mediums.”
