Event Details

Cooper & Smith is please to present Wild Inside: Paintings by Laura Westlake. The exhibit opens with a reception on Saturday, May 18 from 5 – 7 pm at the Cooper & Smith Gallery, 10 Main Street, Essex, CT.

Laura Westlake plays with composition, color and pattern to hint at the intersecting boundaries between art and nature. Her paintings frame birds in interior spaces. They perch quite “at home” next to animal figurines and among china and fabrics designed in motifs drawn from the natural world. As a licensed rehabilitator of migratory birds, Laura brings to her art a keen eye for avian details and an affectionate sense of humor.

Details in a lace hem resemble the layered breast feathers of two society finches resting atop wine glasses in “The Wedding.”

In “Blue Buttercup,” a blue jay perches on the rim of a white bowl, its jagged edge and yolky interior mimicking a cracked egg. A sky-blue tablecloth becomes a field patterned in buttercups.

“Three Mice” is comprised of living creatures and their ceramic counterparts. A mouse sits politely on a corner ledge. A cut-glass vase of smoky topaz holds a clipped narcissus. A titmouse balances on its stem and gazes down at its manufactured “reflection,” a cartoon bird figurine. The keyhole in a drawer reminds us that here nature is locked in art.

Laura studied at Santa Barbara College (CA) and The School Of Visual Arts (NY). Her interest in commercial illustration led to a 15-year career, which included work for television, magazines and print ads, portraiture and book illustration. She then returned to the fine arts and has been exhibiting in galleries for over thirty years.

Wild Inside runs through July. Gallery hours: Wed – Sun, 10:30 – 5:00 PM.

Event Details

The inaugural Young Southpaw Presents…BAT SOUP Comedy Night
Tuesday May 21st, 8 PM, $10

Young Southpaw is the surrealistic alter ego of writer and musician Aug Stone.

“From the existential thread that ties Jean-Paul Sartre to Jon Bon Jovi, to the skinny on what’s floating in TLC’s ‘Waterfalls’, and the possibility that Al Pacino is coaching boxing kangaroos in space, wise-fool Southpaw’s ramblings lead listeners on a surreal journey through doors they didn’t even know existed, into a highly original, deeply funny land of pop culture confusion.” – popbollocks.com

Brooke Louellen is fresh on the comedy scene, with only a year under her belt. But you’d never know it from her wealth of material. Brooke charms audiences with hilarious tales of dating disasters, womanly woes, and Mississippi misadventures with her outlandish Southern family. Brooke is a local Connecticut comic, but will surely soon be bringing laughter far and wide.

Cliff Mula’s done comedy in LA, New York, and comedy clubs throughout New England. He can’t snap his fingers or whistle but he’s from Hartford so he’s got a story to tell.

Stosh Mikita is a New Haven, CT based comedian whose comedy combines observational humor, self-deprecation, and dark personal stories from an unusual upbringing. Starting in 2013, Stosh has quickly become a regularly featured comedian in New England and NYC, performing on WNPR’s Colin McEnroe Show, New York Comedy Club’s Roast Battle, and Comedy Fight Club on the Gas Digital Network.

Mega Harrison became a comic because she told someone she already was one. The crushing anxiety of living with such a spurious claim forced her into a life of publicly confiding her secrets for the amusement of strangers. Mega has been featured in showcases from Connecticut to Massachusetts where she is described as “a favorite” and “special”.

Ish Gupta is a Hartford area comic who has been performing for a year and a half. He’s been lucky to share stages with headliner comics such as Andrew Kennedy, Kevin McAffrey, and Katie Hannigan. He regularly performs at the Treehouse Comedy Club, The Elbow Room, and numerous other venues all over CT, MA, and RI. His comedy addresses a number of topics including weird jobs, his confusing hair, and silly things white people do. He hopes you are having a wonderful day!

And musical guest for the evening is Aug’s favorite discovery this year, Owen McMahon. A singer-songwriter from Thomaston, CT, Owen has played shows and open mics in coffeehouses, dive bars, and backyards all over the Northeast. He writes inspired and ambitious songs on an acoustic guitar and harmonica that, according to Aug, sum up perfectly the experience of what it’s like to hail from Connecticut.

COME SEE THE SHOW, BRING YOUR FRIENDS, RAISE YOUR GLASSES, REMEMBER THERE IS NO ‘I’ IN ‘OPTOMETRY’.
