Flying Fish - Mosaic by Jeanne Ellsworth
Poet Sharon Israel will recite the six poems that she wrote in conjunction with the mosaics by Jeanne Ellsworth to be displayed and the musical compositions by Robert Cucinotta at the opening of In Flight at the Orphic Gallery in Roxbury on Saturday April 6th from 5 to 7 pm.
Sharon Israel has studied poetry with Robert Pinsky, Henri Cole, Lynn Domina and Lee Slonimsky. Her poetry has most recently appeared in the American Liszt Society Newsletter, and her work has been featured in Courier-Life publications in NYC, Women’s E News and the Brooklyn Phoenix. In January 2013, her poem “Pie Bird” was selected for inclusion in an exhibit of poetry and photography entitled “Be Mine Forever” at the Alliance Gallery in Narrowsburg, NY. Jeanne Ellsworth created a poem-object to accompany the poem at the Alliance Gallery show. Sharon also hosts a poetry show on WIOX Community Radio 91.3 FM and www.wioxradio.org in Roxbury NY (as Sharon Israel Cucinotta).
The Orphic Gallery is located at the Roxbury Corner Store at 53525 State Highway 30, Roxbury, NY, at the corner of Main and Bridge Streets. The exhibit will continue through May 2013 and be open to the public during the gallery’s normal business hours, Wednesday through Sunday, 12-5 pm.
