This exhibition investigates how the artistic vision of Edward Hopper (1882-1967) coalesced during his youth in Nyack until he moved away in 1908, at age 26, to pursue his career in New York City. It features selections of the artist’s early drawings and sketches on loan from the Whitney Museum of American Art, private collections and the Arthayer R. Sanborn Hopper Collection Trust, as well as school notebooks, artmaking materials, and costumes, memorabilia, and artworks by Hopper and family members from the Edward Hopper House Museum’s collection and its Sanborn-Hopper Family Archive. Together, these objects provide a glimpse into Hopper’s early years, the influence of his boyhood proximity to the busy waterfront and commercial district of his hometown, and insights into his life at home and his family’s support of his developing talent and ambitions.

Who is the Cailleach?
The ‘Crone’. A powerful personage, full of wisdom and experience…A seasoned deity who rules the winter months…In keeping with the triple aspect of the Celtic tradition, the Cailleach evolved from the Maiden and The Mother. She is the embodiment of our Wise Selves. She is the Wise Old Woman.
Our guide, Patricia (Patsy) Brennan is a native of Ireland and a lover of the Old Ways. Formerly a scientist, she is a folklorist, breathwork trainer and crystal lover, Patsy considers herself a fully evolved Cailleach, and Creative Researcher Of New Experiences (CRONE) as she continues to research Life and all that intrigues her.
Over the course of three evenings, Patsy will explore the influences of each of the triple aspects (Maiden, Mother and Crone) and through them, how it is that we have come to be who it is that we now are. Through exploring the lore, meditation and cognitive practices and by sharing our collective wisdom, this series is designed to be a celebration of the wisdom and gifts of women in their middle and later stages of life.
Only $33 per person for all 3 classes
