CHESTER — DaVallia Art & Accents will present a fine art exhibition, “Vermont Life” featuring a new collection of paintings by Gail Nathanson, through March 31 at 39 North Gallery.

Inspired by how a space evokes a feeling of familiarity and comfort, Nathanson transforms a familiar subject and captures it in a new light and manner. Her works add a new style and dimension to the gallery’s collection, according to a press release.

Nathanson is an oil painter who paints on location and in her studio.

“What interests me the most, as a visual artist, is to tell a story of the familiar. I am moved to render images of the ordinary and unexceptional. Glimpses into the unremarkable corners of life are what inspire me to photograph and paint. When I paint, I act as a storyteller, often leaving the viewer with the task of filling in the blanks or finishing the story for themselves. I don’t want to give away too much detail, but enough to get the viewer started. One of the greatest influences on my work is the American painter, Edward Hopper,” she said.

Established in 2015, DaVallia’s second location 39 North Gallery is on Route 103 in the historic Stone Village of Chester, and includes sculpture gardens that provide an inspiring atmosphere to experience a diverse array of art.
