"Come Sit With Me" Paintings by Suzanne Jepson Tuesday June 2 through Sunday July 5, 2009
"In these hectic and stressful times we all need a quiet place to unwind and relax. For me one of those places is an Adirondack chair in my back yard. There is something about its look that really appeals to me. Its long outstretched arms call for me to sit and when seated I have the feeling of being hugged.
It is my hope that when you view my show you are drawn into the paintings and experience this feeling of quiet relaxation."
Suzanne Jepson retired in 2005 and since then has been following her dream of becoming a full-time artist. Her acrylic paintings can be viewed at the Loft Gallery in Occoquan, Va (loftgallery.org), her website, loft750.com and at various venues in Richmond, VA

Every Picture Tells A Story Photography by Tom Billone Tuesday, August 4-Sunday September 6, 2009
Meet the Artist Reception Saturday August 15th, 1-5
Tom Billone is an award winning photographer from Centreville, Virginia. Tom has traveled to South America, England, Belgium, Russia, Czech Republic, Germany, France, China, Australia and the 50 United States in an effort to capture images that tell a story.
“Photography has been a passion in the Billone family for generations. In the early 1900’s my ancestors realized the value of preserving the past and family history. I am grateful for that since I can now look at a photograph from 1917 and see my father when he was 5 years old and the grandmother I never knew.” Said Tom.
“In 1967 I entered the Air Force and was stationed at some very remote locations. One of these, Saglek Bay Labrador, was the most desolate place I have known. Desolate, as it was, it had its own beauty. This is where I started to really learn photography, expanding my horizons from just family photographs.
“I have taken college level photography courses at Nassau College and C. W. Post/Long Island University and have a Certificate in Photography from the New York Institute of Photography. I am a member of the Photographic Society of America, the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, Northern Virginia Handcrafters Guild, Fairfax Art League and now The Loft.
“I am very excited about this opportunity to present my work to a larger audience and I look forward to a long lasting, mutually satisfying relationship with the members of the Loft and the Arts community of Virginia and the Metro DC area.”
