Art by Scott Hartley. Submitted.
Fine Line Designs will present a three-day pop-up exhibition featuring nationally recognized glass artist Scott Hartley on July 8-10.
Art collectors, design enthusiasts and the general public are invited to explore Hartley’s work – blown and sculpted pieces that celebrate the interplay of color, light and form while capturing a timeless elegance that resonates with both modern and traditional aesthetics.
Hartley will be on hand July 10, 4-6:30 pm in conjunction with Fine Line Designs’ opening reception for Exhibit II, featuring long-time gallery favorite Pamela Murphy and bronze artist and painter Nathan Bennet.
Murphy, a Door County favorite, returns with her evocative oil and mixed-media paintings. Known for her ability to blend personal nostalgia with a contemporary aesthetic, Murphy uses vintage photographs as the basis for her haunting compositions. Her layered works invite viewers to reflect on memory, identity and the passage of time.
Bennett, a nationally recognized patina painter, returns to Door County with his richly textured metal works. Using heat and chemistry to oxidize bronze surfaces, Bennett transforms metal into vivid, atmospheric scenes, bridging the line between sculpture and painting. Having spent 20 years controlling and developing his process, Bennett seeks to create images that capture his inner workings through the subjects of trees, moonlight and solitary pathways.
“This show offers a rare dialogue between two artists who explore memory and material in vastly different, yet surprisingly complementary, ways,” gallery owner Shari Gransee said.
Fine Line is located at 10376 Hwy 42 in Sister Bay.
