I found refuge in nature\, animals and occasionally my twin sisters.They were a year younger than I was. My schizophrenic /autistic brother\, 5 years my junior\, was often left in my care – and was part of the reason\, as an adult \, I would work as an arts therapist. But back in grade school with 40 children in a class\, desks nailed to the floor all in a row\, I would look out the window\, draw and write poetry. We used pen and ink and I remember writing once over and over\,”I will not talk.” \nBut talk I did\, and mostly I was not understood. In college I would loose sight of the topic in stories and metaphors\, never knowing why I was not understood. I would become overwhelmed with my passion for the subject\, and see other relationships to it. I could not understand how the subject wouldn’t be related to all the other things I thought of. \nThe only subject that made any sense to me was art. \nI could never understand how every subject didn’t have to do with every other subject. I didn’t see the point in math or history\, which seemed to be only the history of killing and its dates. I was finding my way.  I looked out the school window\, drawing and writing poetry to pass the time. \nArt put it all together for me. I first fell in love with the abstract expressionist work of sculptor Peter Voulkas. It was emotional and natural looking and I had never seen anything like it. Inspired by him\, I made pots out of rough black clay that looked like big organic rocks. Looking back I see them as expressions of despair as if I were looking to go home into a cave. \nI was born in 1943 just before the war ended and nowhere – not in my family nor any where else – did anyone ever talk openly about fear\, despair\, beauty or anything deeply personal. I remember wondering about that and why no one ever looked at me directly in the eyes. This was New England and people then were very emotionally reticent. \nSo making art became a way for me to find within myself a connection or communion with the world that was otherwise missing. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n VANCOUVER\, CANADA Series\n \n \n \n I painted this series – Vancouver\, Canada – from the window of the overnight train crossing Canada from Toronto to Vancouver just before Covid broke out. It was four days and nights – no distractions but the vibrating of the train\, the penetrating light\, and the endless wilderness that is most of Canada. Throughout my life I have stared at landscapes – especially drawn to neglected urban landscapes and the wilderness. Shaken free by the constant movement and vibrations of the train I was able to condense a sense of the light\, space\, pine tree forests and occasional box like buildings that would appear randomly along the journey. In Pine Tree with Boxes\, I am probably the little light green square in the middle of the tree. \nAs is the case with all of my work\, I recognize in this painting a connection to my childhood that feels timeless – though the images may be disturbing they are beautiful to me. I would come home from school\, which I disliked\, and walk along the railroad tracks beside our house in Springfield\, Massachusetts where I grew up. There were no adults\, the tracks went on and on\, the sand was everywhere and there were red scrub pine trees which I loved and would sit in for long periods of time. I sang to the birds and they answered me. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Vancouver Boatyard  (2020) Watercolor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Flying Canoe (2020)  Watercolor 10″ x 14″\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n TRANSITIONS Series\n \n \n \n Painted in 2020-2021 during the years of Covid19\, these paintings are about transition – into winter and solitude. They are inspired by the snow on the Vermont landscape\, as well as a chronicle of my move from an urban environment to a rural one – from Red Hook\, Brooklyn to Brattleboro\,VT. I spent this time studying the snow over the fields and forests of Vermont and adjusting to a rural environment from an urban one. After growing up in New England\, I lived in the New York City area for 40 years\,  and then relocated again to Brattleboro\,VT . I loved New York\, where I’d found a community of artists and a career as an Arts Therapist. I worked as a social worker using the arts at South Beach Psychiatric Center on Staten Island\, NYC.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Transition #1 (2020) Oil 24″ x 24″\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Transition #2 (2020) Oil 36″ x 36″\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n RED HOOK (BROOKLYN) IN GRAY Series\n \n \n \n I painted these paintings from 1996-2009 while living in Red Hook\, Brooklyn \, which was an abandoned urban environment near the sea 20 and minutes from NYC. In the winter the warehouses\, water towers\, backyards\, granary and bridges were gray\, stark and monumental with fog and snow. The effect I try to achieve is one of a mysterious space.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Red Hook Gray #1 (1996) Watercolor 18″ x 24″\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Red Hook Gray #2 (2000) Watercolor  18″x24″ URL:https://118elliot.com/event/tina-olsen-landscapes-visages-past-exhibit-may-2021/ LOCATION:118 Elliot CATEGORIES:Past Exhibit ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://118elliot.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/tina_exhibit_wide.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210414T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210418T235900 DTSTAMP:20260425T111339 CREATED:20210412T130513Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220106T173138Z UID:6804-1618387200-1618790340@118elliot.com SUMMARY:April 14 - 18 Online Film Screening | Architecture & Design Film Series DESCRIPTION:NEUTRA: SURVIVAL THROUGH DESIGN | April 14-18\, 2021 \nDirected by PJ Letofsky2019\, USA\, 100 MinutesPREVIEW \nOnline access at: https://adfilmseries.org/ \nThis comprehensive documentary into the 125 year life\, work\, and times of Austrian/American Architect Richard Neutra begins in 1892 Vienna and takes you inside his most important works – the Luckenwalde Forest Cemetery\, his first built house design in Berlin\, working with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin\, Rudolph Schindler’s Kings Road House\, the family home VDL House in Los Angeles\, and the Palm Springs Kaufmann House.

Shortly before his passing at the age of 86\, influential gardener and plantsman Frank Cabot recounts his personal quest for perfection at Les Quatre Vents\, his twenty-acre English style garden and summer estate that was opened to a film crew for the first time ever in 2009. Nestled amongst the rolling hills of the Charlevoix County in Quebec\, Les Quatre Vents has become one of the world’s foremost private gardens. Created over 75 years and three generations\, it is an enchanted place of beauty and surprise\, a horticultural masterpiece of the 21st century. Through the words of Cabot and his family\, and with the participation of gardening experts and writers\, the film looks back at this remarkable man’s personal story and the artistic philosophy that gave birth to one of the greatest gardens in the world. \nIn conversations with curators\, patrons\, family\, and fellow artists\, we come to know von Rydingsvard as a driven but compassionate sculptor with a deep commitment to her art and the world around her. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n more exhibits\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n No Results Found\n The page you requested could not be found.

But the film also delves into the artist’s personal life\, and how it has shaped her work. Born in Poland during the Second World War\, she was partly raised in a displaced persons camp and came to the US as a refugee with her nine-person family. Her younger brother shares memories of being raised by their violent\, domineering father – a man whose influence von Rydingsvard continues to feel. Brought up in a blue-collar environment\, she became a teacher and then\, as a single mother\, moved to New York in the 1970s to take up her artistic practice full-time. \nIn conversations with curators\, patrons\, family\, and fellow artists\, we come to know von Rydingsvard as a driven but compassionate sculptor with a deep commitment to her art and the world around her. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n more exhibits\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n No Results Found\n The page you requested could not be found.

He grew up in the Caribbean and moved to the United States in his teens. Roxcell rediscovered his interest in painting while in the military. He says: “I realized that creating has always been a tool for acknowledging and processing the indescribable elements of my experience. Whenever I am creating\, there is no choice but to be present within the space called me. I simply try my best to breathe life into the surreal colorscapes\, geometric shapes and human forms that arise within my stream of consciousness.”  \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jillian Farwell \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jillian Farwell has spent most of her life in West Dummerston where her family has lived for more than 100 years. She says: “I was born into a philosophical\, very verbal intellectual heritage\, but I was always more comfortable in the natural world. I found meaning through art making. It is the process of clarifying as you work – a whole-body way of knowing. I began with clay\, which brought me into my body\, and now I work in oil paint. I don’t know how that unfolds. I understand my life better when I paint and look at my paintings.” \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ursula von Rydingsvard\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lauren Watrous grew up in Brattleboro and teaches studio arts at The River Gallery School and The Community College of Vermont.

We found that our drawing sessions were enhanced when we drew each other. Not only did it give us an opportunity to develop our skills of observation but we found it created a more relaxed relationship among online participants. The rhythm of our conversations became more natural and less strained as people worked quietly together. Conversations seemed to come and go in a natural easy-going way. We realized that the process of drawing and painting each other created a social connection that had been missing in other online activities. \nSince then we have created a program to encourage others to engage in online portraiture. This is an idea open to all and there are no rules. Our objective is to help people make satisfying social connections while creating art that chronicles our difficult journey through the pandemic. We hope that others will find it a way to have a satisfying personal experience as much as a creative one. \nIf you would like to join a group send an email to tinakolsen@aol.com. She will send you an invitation to a Zoom session. If you are doing portraits on your own and would like to share them on our archive\, please send images to plum@dti.net with subject bar PORTRAITS. \nThere will also be a curated show of portraits at 118 Elliot sometime in the spring.

She moved to Vermont 4 years ago and has been teaching and refining the technique ever since.\n\n“After so much travel\, I was yearning to live close to the land. At the Art Monastery (now in Springfield\, VT) we explore contemplative practice\, creative practice\, and communal living. With my background and passion for movement\, once we landed in Vermont\, I started developing Catalyst Training based on what I did in my own daily practice. What I’m really excited about is blending opposites to refresh and awaken the body and mind.”Catalyst is both a full on work out and an awareness building session. We go from dance music to breath work\, we jump around the room and we do yoga poses on a mat. It’s my dream 2 hours of training the body and mind to be more awake\, more free\, and honestly\, happier.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCockrell will offer two 4-week workshop series at 118 Elliot on Saturdays from 10:00am-12:00pm from February 29-March 21 and April 4-May 2.\n\n\n\n\n\nPreregistration is required for both series by emailing Neva at Neva@LoomEnsemble.com​. \n\n“I experienced in myself and observed that Catalyst is incredibly accessible for a wide range of abilities and mobilities.” —Becky Miller\, Burlington\, Vermont\n\nOne of the beautiful things about the way this workshop is structured is that it can really meet you where you’re at. All levels of movement experience and ability are welcome. “It was a goal for me that the class could be diverse\,” Nevasays\, “when we share any space\, but especially a movement space with all different types of bodies\, each person learns more.” \n\n“Catalyst creates a container that allows me to give my body what it needs\, while also pushing me to push myself. I achieved more than I thought I could\, worked harder than I thought I wanted\, and loved it way more than I thought possible. This isn’t “exercise” or “strength training\,” it’s an expression of joy in sweat.” —Shawn\, Brooklyn\, NY\n\nCatalyst was birthed at the Art Monastery\, where Neva currently lives and is a co-director. When she was first creating Catalyst\, she taught it everyday for an entire summer to anyone who happened to be at the Art Monastery for a residency or retreat and asked for their feedback. The technique is therefore inherently steeped in similar values of bringing awareness into our everyday movements\, building community through kindness and connection\, and bringing creativity into even the smallest parts of our lives. \n\n“My experience of Catalyst Training with Neva was a full mind\, body\, spirit nourishing and full contact experience.” —Maria Pilar Pina\, Alexandria\, Virginia\n\nLearn More URL:https://118elliot.com/event/catalyst-training-with-neva-cockrell/2020-02-29/ LOCATION:118 Elliot CATEGORIES:Classes & Ongoing Events,Dance,General ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://118elliot.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/neva_wide.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200221T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200221T213000 DTSTAMP:20260425T111340 CREATED:20200211T171652Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200211T171652Z UID:5147-1582311600-1582320600@118elliot.com SUMMARY:"Democracy: Can it be saved? (and why bother)" A Debate Between Ambassador Basora & Dr. Wilking DESCRIPTION:“Democracy: Can it be saved? (and why bother)” A Debate Between Ambassador Adrian Basora & Dr. Andrew Wilking \nFollowing by Q&A and discussion \nFriday February 21\, 7:00 PM \nThis event is a followup of a 2017 volume entitled Does Democracy Matter? The United States and Global Democracy Support\, of which Ambassador Basora is the principal author.  This work provided the conclusions of eleven scholars from widely different backgrounds who ask whether and\, if so\, how the U.S. should support democracy beyond its own borders. The authors agree that American strategic interests are served in the long run by the spread of democracy abroad\, but they differ as to how this support meshes with other national security goals. The concluding chapter outlines a system of triage for realistically assessing where and how such assistance can be effective in promoting US security interests. \nSince the publication of this work\, both the world\, and U.S. government actions regarding democracy abroad\, have changed significantly. And so has the state of our own democracy. \nThe program will start with a debate between Dr.Wilking and Ambassador Basora\, but will leave ample time for questions and dialogue. We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a lively and thought-provoking evening!

Kahn and Robert Ventura\, he has influenced every modern American student of architecture. He has shaken the hand of Prince Charles and received the National Medal of Arts from George W. Bush—in the United States\, nearly wherever you look\, you can see Vincent Scully’s influence. At Wednesday’s A + D Film Series screening\, Vincent Scully’s son Dan Scully\, whose internationally-known architecture firm is in Keene\, NH\, will lead a discussion on his father’s life and influence. \n\n\n\nThe Architecture + Design Film Series\, started six years ago in Burlington\, selects diverse films celebrating design in all its various forms.  Their success in Burlington led local architect Jim Williams\, who designed the popular 118 Elliot\, to extend the series’ reach to the opposite end of the state in Brattleboro with support from the American Institute of Architects Vermont Chapter (AIAVT) and numerous local business and individual sponsors.  Now the monthly screenings are held simultaneously in Burlington and in Brattleboro at 118 Elliot through April 2020. Film showings are free and open to all\, presented to foster understanding and stimulate conversation about the impact of design and beauty in our daily lives. \n\n\n\nThe Architecture + Design Film Series website www.adfilmseries.org tells the history of the film series and presents film trailers for movies in this upcoming season. 118 Elliot is a modern\, fully accessible arts and educational center in downtown Brattleboro.
