Imago Foundation for the Arts (IFA) is featuring collages created by IFA exhibiting artist Howard Windham along with the artwork of guest artists Olivia R. Watson and Carol Anne Teague (C.A.T.) Wiseman, two student guest video artists and other IFA exhibiting artists April 25 – June 2 at Imago Gallery, 36 Market Street, Warren, Rhode Island
A public reception for all the artists will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 5 to 8 p.m. with musical accompaniment by guitarist by John Birt.
Windham has titled his series “Misadventures with the Muse.” The artwork he is presenting was partially influenced by the artistic quilt making of his wife, Carolyn Windham, and memorable, milestone quilt exhibits he saw at the Whitney Museum in New York in 1971 and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston in 2002. He says, “I make quilts, too. Mine are perfectly useless, made of wood or, in this collection, paper.”
Windham is a Rhode Island School of Design graduate and professor emeritus from UMass/Dartmouth, where he completed his MFA. His collages, paintings, and sculptures have been exhibited throughout New England.
Watson is a multimedia visual artist. Originally from Oklahoma, she has called Rhode Island home since 2012. Currently she works primarily on mixed media paintings, but has created bodies of work in printmaking, video, and assemblage. She holds a B.A. in Modern Culture Media and Visual Art from Brown University.
She says, “Through my work, I explore quiet moments, usually solo and introspective or intimate and tender. I get to daydream about the lives of houses, forest clearings, and red dirt plains and draw out their spirits.”
Wiseman, a RISD graduate so old she remembers when “cut and paste” meant using an Xacto blade and rubber cement, has had a long and –self-described– checkered design career. However, since 2000 she has concentrated on ribbons and fabric and sold her work in craft shows from Camden, Maine to Lincoln Center in New York, as well as on Etsy. She currently works on fabric collages in her converted garage/studio overlooking the Providence River in Pawtuxet Village (Cranston), RI.
She says, “My widely varied career after RISD has included calligraphy, stenciling, visual merchandising, retail management, jewelry design in India, textile design in West Africa, polymer clay jewelry, ribbon weaving, and most recently fabric collage. I love fabric but am less keen about sewing, so all of my pieced are collaged with occasional embroidery, both hand and machine.
The two student video artists whose work will be displayed are Catherine Noa Ashley and Jiyeon Johnston. Ashley is currently finishing up her MFA in Digital Media at Rhode Island School of Design. Johnston is currently pursuing a BFA in Digital Media with a minor in Art History at Rhode Island College, expected to graduate in May 2024.
IFA exhibiting artists who will be participating in this group exhibit include Bill Chisholm, David Clarke, Eileen Siobhan Collins, Mary Dondero, Stephen Fisher, Philip Gruppuso, Gary Heise, Carl Keitner, Lisa Lowenstein, Eileen Mayhew, Linda Megathlin, Catherine Moylan, Rina Naik, Mercedes Nuñez, Anne Marie Rossi, Howard Rotblat-Walker, Duff Schweninger, Pamela Seymour Smith Sharp, Lenny Rumpler, and Meredith Wolf.
As an accompaniment to this exhibit, Windham and his artist daughter Brett Day Windham will be offering a one-day workshop on collage called “Facing the Music” on Saturday, May 11, from 2-5 p.m. at Imago Gallery. The Windhams will provide a brief introduction to collage, share examples of their work and engage participants in making collage faces as they play with color, tone, texture, perspective, and reality. More information is available at: https://www.imagofoundation4art.org/collage-workshop.
Regular hours at Imago Gallery for the exhibit are Thursday 12-3, Friday and Saturday noon to 6 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.

Imago Foundation for the Arts (IFA) will be offering a two-day workshop on Chinese and Japanese-style ink and brush painting led by IFA exhibiting artist Gary Heise on Sundays, April 21 and 28 at Imago Gallery, 36 Market Street, in Warren, RI.
“A Creative Approach to Chinese/Japanese Ink and Brush Painting” will provide a brief introduction to traditional Chinese brush painting (Japanese sumi- e), and how to use monoprint techniques as a springboard for creative landscape painting on rice paper.
The workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a short break for lunch on Sundays, April 21 and 28. Heise is a Rhode Island School of Design graduate who has painted the American landscape using Chinese brush painting techniques and materials, integrating both Chinese and Western approaches to watercolor painting for many years.
Artists of all levels and experience are welcome and asked to register in advance at: https://www.imagofoundation4art.org/sumi-eworkshop or stop by the gallery during regular hours to register in person. The fee for the workshop is $90, plus an optional materials fee of $45 for that will cover three brushes, ink, and a set of Marie’s Chinese watercolors.
Additionally, participants may bring in other brushes, watercolors and gouache; newspaper/newsprint, a suitable watercolor palette or dish, and a couple of jars for clean water. Paper for the workshop will be provided to all students for no additional fee.
On Day 1, Heise will demonstrate the practice and the basics of traditional “sumi-e” brushwork – the “bone” stroke and lead basic exercises. The workshop will include demonstrations of basic tree, rock and landscape elements with emphasis on black ink. Black ink — and its gradations–is the foundation of Chinese painting. It is referred to as the bones of the landscape; color is referred to as the skin. Handout reproductions from The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting, originally published in 1679, will be provided as examples to study. Students will practice their own landscape.
Participants will be encouraged to continue their practice during the week at home by copying one of the paintings from the handout, or creating their own composition using what they have learned.
Day 2 of the workshop will reinforce techniques and concepts from the previous week, with an emphasis on compositional aspects, plus the introduction of color. Also covered will be the use of color in painting landscapes. Participants will be creating colorful, abstract compositions in the morning, using crinkled paper and monoprint techniques. In the afternoon, these compositions will be used as the foundation for a contemporary approach to landscape painting.
About Gary Heise
Shortly after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Painting, Heise studied Chinese brush painting with noted Taiwanese painter and printmaker Liao Shiou-Ping. Since that time, Gary has painted the American landscape using Chinese brush painting techniques and materials, integrating both Chinese and Western approaches to watercolor painting.
Heise and his wife, Janelle, moved to Rhode Island in 2022. Prior to that he served as president and program director for the Asian Brush Artists Guild (est. 1989) associated with the Hammond Museum in North Salem, New York. View his work on Instagram @garyheisepainting.

Gain insights into what makes the author-bookstore and author-library relationship thrive with Faye D’Avanza, a writer-editor and professional librarian who is also the marketing and communications event coordinator at Ink Fish Books.
Bookstores and libraries are a writer’s best friend. But when a writer grows to become a published author, the relationship balance can change from fun-loving customer to awkward sales rep. And this makes sense because writers are taught to write books, not how to sell books. Fortunately, for readers, many authors are eager to learn how to meaningfully connect with bookstores and libraries to promote their book, expand their author brand, and contribute to the growth of more engaged communities.
This is a free creative engagement talk for writers, published authors, supportive friends, and anyone interested in growing and nurturing their relationships in the book world.

A public reception for all the artists will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 5 to 8 p.m. with musical accompaniment by guitarist by John Birt.
Windham has titled his series “Misadventures with the Muse.” The artwork he is presenting was partially influenced by the artistic quilt making of his wife, Carolyn Windham, and memorable, milestone quilt exhibits he saw at the Whitney Museum in New York in 1971 and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston in 2002. He says, “I make quilts, too. Mine are perfectly useless, made of wood or, in this collection, paper.”
Windham is a Rhode Island School of Design graduate and professor emeritus from UMass/Dartmouth, where he completed his MFA. His collages, paintings, and sculptures have been exhibited throughout New England.
Watson is a multimedia visual artist. Originally from Oklahoma, she has called Rhode Island home since 2012. Currently she works primarily on mixed media paintings, but has created bodies of work in printmaking, video, and assemblage. She holds a B.A. in Modern Culture Media and Visual Art from Brown University.
She says, “Through my work, I explore quiet moments, usually solo and introspective or intimate and tender. I get to daydream about the lives of houses, forest clearings, and red dirt plains and draw out their spirits.”
Wiseman, a RISD graduate so old she remembers when “cut and paste” meant using an Xacto blade and rubber cement, has had a long and –self-described– checkered design career. However, since 2000 she has concentrated on ribbons and fabric and sold her work in craft shows from Camden, Maine to Lincoln Center in New York, as well as on Etsy. She currently works on fabric collages in her converted garage/studio overlooking the Providence River in Pawtuxet Village (Cranston), RI.
She says, “My widely varied career after RISD has included calligraphy, stenciling, visual merchandising, retail management, jewelry design in India, textile design in West Africa, polymer clay jewelry, ribbon weaving, and most recently fabric collage. I love fabric but am less keen about sewing, so all of my pieced are collaged with occasional embroidery, both hand and machine.
The two student video artists whose work will be displayed are Catherine Noa Ashley and Jiyeon Johnston. Ashley is currently finishing up her MFA in Digital Media at Rhode Island School of Design. Johnston is currently pursuing a BFA in Digital Media with a minor in Art History at Rhode Island College, expected to graduate in May 2024.
IFA exhibiting artists who will be participating in this group exhibit include Bill Chisholm, David Clarke, Eileen Siobhan Collins, Mary Dondero, Stephen Fisher, Philip Gruppuso, Gary Heise, Carl Keitner, Lisa Lowenstein, Eileen Mayhew, Linda Megathlin, Catherine Moylan, Rina Naik, Mercedes Nuñez, Anne Marie Rossi, Howard Rotblat-Walker, Duff Schweninger, Pamela Seymour Smith Sharp, Lenny Rumpler, and Meredith Wolf.
As an accompaniment to this exhibit, Windham and his artist daughter Brett Day Windham will be offering a one-day workshop on collage called “Facing the Music” on Saturday, May 11, from 2-5 p.m. at Imago Gallery. The Windhams will provide a brief introduction to collage, share examples of their work and engage participants in making collage faces as they play with color, tone, texture, perspective, and reality. More information is available at: https://www.imagofoundation4art.org/collage-workshop.
Regular hours at Imago Gallery for the exhibit are Thursday 12-3, Friday and Saturday noon to 6 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
IFA is a non-profit organization run by artists for artists whose mission is to inspire creativity and promote art-making that enriches our communities.
