Artists Talk - Untold Stories
2023-06-03 16:00 - 17:00 | Rockland Center for the Arts,27 South Greenbush Road, West Nyack, NY, USA
Join the artists of Untold Stories – Tara Sabharwal, Mary Ting and Yeon-Ji Yoo as they talk about their individual works. Their art tells the tales of the cleavage of families from each other and their homes, separated by oceans, the slammed shut doors of nations at war, and the violence of fear.
Untold Stories explores three artists’ individual pilgrimages into the hauntings of our century. They are the tales that inhabit bodies – the histories, memories, dreams and whispers – dissected, reassembled, and metamorphosized into another imagining, and the landscape of resilience.
The paintings, drawings and prints of Tara Sabharwal are intuitive in process -a melding of the unconscious self and the raging global migration crisis. Tara was born and educated in Delhi, India and resides in New York.
In her four decades career, she has had 45 solo shows in the U.S., UK, Germany, India, Japan, Pakistan, Italy, China, Portugal and France. The drawings, installations, and books of Mary Ting reflect on Chinese cultural history, trauma, grief, and the loss of nature. Mary teaches environmental justice and does research on the wildlife trade. Mary is an American born Chinese, who also studied and worked in China. Her solo exhibitions include the Lambert Foundation, Dean Project, Metaphor Contemporary Art, and the Kentler Drawing Space. She has lectured on the endangered wildlife markets at the Jane Goodall Institute Nepal; The Explorer’s Club, NYC, and Conservation Action Trust, Capetown, SA, among others.
The sculpture, photographs and collages of Yeon-Ji Yoo are infused with her childhood memories, family struggles, and reconstructed narratives. Yeon Ji has a graduate degree in fine arts and also environmental science. Yeon Ji spent her early childhood in rural South Korea before immigrating to the United States. She has exhibited throughout the NY area including Wave Hill, Brooklyn Museum, Samek Art Museum and the Children’s Art Museum of Manhattan.

Roost Restaurant and Union Arts Center are pleased to present two new exhibitions featuring the work of Andrea Baruffi and Suzanne Auer.
In Gallery 1, Andrea Baruffi showcases a collection of prints made from his original acrylic paintings. Baruffi’s artistic style is characterized by whimsy and humor. Many of the original acrylic paintings, from which the “Playful” series of art prints are made, range in size from 60″ x 80″ to 80″ x 80″. They are available for purchase directly from the artist’s studio, located two hours north of Florence. His work is widely exhibited throughout Italy.
Baruffi, a former illustrator and longtime resident of Piermont, returned to Italy after his retirement, having worked in New York for major advertising agencies and children’s book publishers. He received classical training in art at the prestigious Liceo Artistico in Bologna and holds a degree in architecture from the University of Florence. He cites Edward Hopper and Caravaggio among his favorite artists. To learn more about Baruffi and his work, visit Instagram page @andrea_baruffi_paintings. For inquiries about sales or further information, please contact Kathy at (845) 652-0737 (Piermont) or kathleenbaruffi@gmail.com.
In Gallery 2, Suzanne Auer presents a series of paintings that highlight her love of color. The paintings evoke a sense of nostalgia and a feeling of revisiting favorite places and things. Auer showcases her process of planning a painting around a specific color and creating a visual path through it.
Auer received her BFA in Jewelry and Silversmithing from SUNY New Paltz and started her own business painting children’s clothes and murals. This led to creating The Art
Studio, a business teaching drawing and painting to children and adults for over 20 years in Highland Mills, NY. She is now retired and painting every free moment she
gets. For more information, visit www.suzanneauerpaintings.com.

Roost Restaurant and Bar is an American brasserie where co-owner Chef Kevin Reilly serves elevated fare, utilizing the freshest seasonal ingredients for a variety of exquisite meat, seafood, and vegetable dishes. In 2020, Roost moved around the corner from its initial Sparkill location to its present home inside the iconic Union Arts Center. The century-old firehouse was meticulously renovated in 2010 by Simon Basner and repurposed as a venue for multi- disciplinary artistic expression. When Roost leased and subsequently purchased the building, co-owner Maria Santini created a space which patrons often describe as having a cool, unique vibe and much more than just a place to dine – it’s an experience that is not soon forgotten.
Restaurant Reservations are highly recommended. For Private Event Inquiries visit Roost at roostinsparkill.com. For Reservations: 845-359-6700

Encore Encounter features the works of Poramit Thantapalit. Poramit’s work is inspired by the relationship and connection between humans, nature and the surroundings such as trees, flowers, the ocean, people and animals. The artist focuses on using both recycled and non-recycled materials to create his artwork. Discarded shopping bags, cereal boxes, and plastic bottles that were once considered “trash” are altered into unexpected visions of beauty such as coral clouds hanging from the ceiling and bluetanica gardens growing on the wall . Poramit’s artwork is created from small parts and are uniquely assembled like puzzles. Each piece can stand alone as an individual object or together to create a large installation. Cyanotype prints are often made of the recycled objects of art. Beautifully created sculptures, installations, mixed media and drawings exemplify just how much waste we generate. It also His work inspires viewers to protect our environment.
A native of Thailand, Poramit Thantapalit has a degree in journalism and a master’s in computer graphics from New York Institute of Technology. He has over 15 years experience as a graphic designer, artist and photographer with global marketing organizations. His installations and artworks have been exhibited at the Arcadia Earth Museum, National Academy Museum, the James Rose Center, IPCNY Print Fest at Robert Miller Gallery, the Jersey City Theater, and the Sodertalje Arts Gallery in Sweden. His installation “Masked Arts” that he created during the pandemic was featured in the New York Times Sunday edition in May 2021. Poramit now lives in New Jersey.

Cemeteries are a record of our nation’s past. There is a rich collection of history located on their grounds. Here in our village we are fortunate to have fantastic examples of period gravestones dating back to the 1700s. Bethel Cemetery is a most charming space, located in the virtual center of our community, surrounded by our schools, library and neighborhoods. Residents pass by and through it on a daily basis making it a part of our village. Croton Village Historian Marc Cheshire will tell the story of Bethel Cemetery, Croton’s lost Quaker Burying Ground and the Van Cortlandt family cemetery.
