Fairy Village by Louise Adie, Flying Fairies by Cori Vogel, Misc Works by Handwork Artists
This month we are featuring two visiting artists from Trumansburg and a mixture of work from Handwork artisans to celebrate the Spring Awakening!
Louise Adie is a naturalist who constructs her fairy houses using whimsical found objects along with natural materials creating a world that you might hope to stumble upon in a secret corner of the woods. In this display you will find something new every time you take a peek into this magical realm. Her work connects us to a world that is living alongside our own, hidden yet felt by those who choose to take the time to stop, listen and observe.
Floating above Louise's Fairy houses are Cori Vogel's beautifully handcrafted Fairies. Cori makes her fairies using wire, thread, natural materials and silk. Each fairy is a one-of-a-kind art piece with unique and charming features.
To finish off the display surrounding the village is an assortment of pottery, photographs, fiber arts and jewelry from Handwork Artists that reflect the spring woodland theme. Come take a wander with us through the woods and revitalize your childlike wonder.

Terry Plater: Landscapes and Portraiture
Terry Plater enjoyed a fulfilling career in higher education before earning an MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art in 2023. Prior to that, with degrees in architecture and city and regional planning, she worked and traveled widely in the US and abroad. That work and travel often figures significantly in her portraits and landscapes.
A lifelong painter raised in a family that valued art, literature, and music, Plater likes to say that art chose her. Her natural curiosity, her wide range of professional experiences, and her extensive work-related travel in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Europe infuse her art practice with a sense of beauty, urgency, and a search for equanimity. Her work, including her current project on her family history, centers on questions of equity and aesthetics; in painting she continually asks if and how the two conditions can be reconciled.
