IT'S POSSIBLE!
It's Possible, Gallery on Grant's newest art show, is opening on October 29, 2025 and running through January 2026. This art show gives homage to Axelrod Performing Arts Center's performance of Cinderella, running from November 6 through 23 as the final production in the 2025 Season. Art Director and curator Randye Krupnick has created this fairy-tale like aura among the chosen works of art. She describes the exhibit as "a journey through beauty, hope, direction, achievement, while transpiring within an enchanted surrounding." It's Possible consists of four artists: MaryAnn Goodwin, Jeffrey Robinson, Daniel Natale, and Mary Klawetter.
Artist MaryAnn Goodwin brings a modern twist to the iconic glass slipper in her watercolor and acrylic paintings of shoes, especially in the featured piece "To The Ball." MaryAnn Goodwin describes her passion for painting shoes: "I love to paint shoes because a woman can instantly change how she can be perceived; maybe an athlete, dancer, or business owner."
Jeffrey Robinson painted "Cinderlla's Dreamscape," an sequential series representing the story of Cinderella. The paintings utilize both realistic and magical scenes, rendered in soft earth hues and prismatic bright colors. The pivotal work "The Secret Garden Door" portrays both a literal and metaphorical threshold. Jeffrey Robinson explains that "this weathered portal marks the transition from the naturalistic early paintings into the series' transformation into bright overlapping geometric forms." Within the magical realm, works like "Destiny's Reflection" and "Midnight's Radiance", Jeffrey Robinson describes his works as utilizing "sophisticated strategies: fragmented planes, crystalline light effects, and dynamic movement that suggest both the disorientation and exhilaration of sudden change." The series concludes with" A Dream Come true," a return to realism. The artist describes the journey's dual nature as "rooted in human experience yet elevated by transformative vision."
It's Possible includes seven landscape paintings from Daniel Natale. Each landscape invites the viewer into a specific moment in nature, from storybook-like village houses to a scene of forboding clouds. The Two River Times said of Daniel Natale's works that "familiar as they may seem, you haven't seen these places before. Natale paints from imagination, informed by mental snapshots of the effects of sunlight and atmosphere on the landscape..."
The exhibit concludes with five soft doll sculptures by Mary Klawetter. A featured artist in "Art Doll Quarterly," Mary grew up in Iceland and was influenced by folk stories. These stories sparked her passion for creating these dolls, and in addition , these stories have filtered into her work. "The Mushroom Gatherers" portrays a young couple in love, definitely similar to Cinderella and her prince. The dolls are made of fabric over wire armature, needle sculpted face and hand painted eyes, and dressed in her own patterns for clothing.
