Meet the artist at this First Friday Opening Reception at Gallery North!
Sarah Sutro will be showing her paintings at Gallery North, 9 Eagle Street, North Adams, MA. The exhibit will accompany new work by permanent gallery artists Marilyn Cavallari, Sean McCusker, Barbara Patton, and Carol Shumans from May 1st to May 30th, 2026. Artists will attend an opening reception Friday, May 1st from 5-7pm.
Sarah Sutro’s work expresses patterns and rhythms of the natural world, especially the vast expanses of river she experienced living in Thailand and Bangladesh, and ocean inlets and marshes on US East and West coasts. Her acrylic and watercolor landscape paintings at Gallery North are filled with abstract marks and washes of color vividly representing nature. Bands of paint shimmer and overlap, suggesting movement and light on water. Passages of color contrast and dissolve into the atmosphere of late day sunlight and heat.
Sutro’s work has been shown and is in collections nationally and internationally. She has had residencies at the MacDowell Colony, Ossabaw Island Foundation, Millay Colony for the Arts, Blue Mountain Center, American Academy of Rome, Art Dulcinium (Montenegro) and the Goetemann residency in Rocky Neck, Gloucester. In 2009 she took part in a water residency at Blue Mountain, where artists, writers and filmmakers came together to share their work and discuss the issue of water conservancy and environmental awareness. She is a recipient of Po***ck Krasner, Mass Cultural Council, and Taconic Foundation grants, and been a faculty at colleges and universities in the area, including Emerson College, AIB at Lesley University, Mass College of Art and Design, Union Institute and University and UMass Boston.
