“Wild Places – Wild Things” – Photography by Chris Bazer

“Together Again” is an inspirational exhibition, reuniting four North Fork art educators who have crossed paths in multiple schools districts for the past thirty-five years.

Having retired as full-time North Fork educators, these four inspirational artists have shifted their focus from process to practice. Lisa Baglivi is focusing on printmaking, Jeanne Fallot on mixed media artwork and 3D assemblages, Lee Harned on landscapes and capturing moments in time, and Jane Utz on her love of nature in exceptional watercolor renderings. Together they have assembled examples of creativity and diversity indicative of their commitment to their teaching careers. Together they hope to provide inspiration to all the students they have worked with on their beloved North Fork.
