Art Beat: ‘Reflections’ by Mattituck artist Patricia Feiler
• “Reflections,” paintings by Mattituck artist Patricia Feiler, will be exhibited through May 10 at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center. An artist’s reception is set for 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 29.
In a press release Ms. Feiler, a former music educator in the Eastport and Southold school districts, said, “Painting a landscape feels like music to me … There’s a rhythm that is familiar to me in the motion of the brush across the canvas. The process has energy and a crescendo.” Many of her works depict East End scenes: beaches, sailboat races, vineyards and farmland.
• Alex Ferrone Photography Gallery in Cutchogue will present ‘Small Works: The Botanical Exhibit’ from Nov. 29 to Feb. 15. An artists’ reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 29.
