‘Transition’ opens November 26

YOUNGSVILLE — Jeffersonville artists Kevin Gref and Lucy Sardonia are featured in a holiday exhibit opening Saturday, November 26th at Domesticities at 3 pm.   

Kevin’s work in painted wood and mixed media is a complex adventure in shape and color which visually interprets words and their meaning.  Lucy works with a variety of materials as she explores and reimagines everyday scenes from her childhood in the Caribbean and our local landscapes.  The subtlety of color in Kevin’s work is complemented by the colorful portrayals of strength in nature and humans that Lucy has created. 

Born in the Dominican Republic, Lucy Sardonia immigrated to the US with her family at a young age. While in high school her talent was recognized by her art instructor who trained and encouraged her. Although she took incidental courses in art and fashion at Syracuse University she is primarily self-taught. 

Kevin Gref received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree FA from the University of Buffalo, specializing in Sculpting.  After retiring from a career as a carpenter, he returned to his artwork with the opening of his studio Jeffersonville Steamworks in 2013 where he began to experiment with steam-bent white oak, cherry, and other hardwoods.  His work has appeared in group shows at the DVAA, Catskill Art Society as well as the Broadway production of Harold and Maude. Gref is presently working out of the studios of the late abstract painters Elizabeth Harms and Douglas Craft in the village of Jeffersonville.    

The show can be seen through December 30th.  Domesticities is located at 4055 State Route 52, Youngsville, NY 12791.
