​​​LYNNE FRIEDMAN: Where the Earth Breathes

A longtime member of the Wired Gallery family, Lynne Friedman returns with Where the Earth Breathes, a solo show of radiant landscapes and abstract works inspired by her recent residencies in Provence and Umbria. Her vivid oil paintings transport viewers to sun-drenched hills dotted with iconic cypress trees, while her Dancing Molecules drawings explore the unseen energetic fields that shape our physical world.

Friedman’s art reflects a lifelong engagement with place, light, and elemental forces. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the country and internationally, with paintings held in numerous public and private collections. She holds degrees from Queens College and Columbia University and is a former college art teacher and past president of the New York Society of Women Artists. Friedman is based in Rosendale, New York.

CAREY CONAWAY: For the Love of Color

In her second solo exhibition at Wired Gallery, Carey Conaway brings together a bold collection of abstract works in For the Love of Color. Using oil paint, colored pencil, ribbon, and silkscreened paper, Conaway explores how color and geometry intersect to reflect our inner and outer worlds. Her compositions reveal unexpected visual shifts, emphasizing the balance, contrast, and transformation that occur through color interaction.

​

Influenced by Josef Albers, Hans Hofmann, and Frank Stella, Conaway’s work is joyful yet thoughtful—born of a post-traumatic life shift that led her to pursue art full-time. A student of color theory at Parsons and the Woodstock School of Art, Conaway now lives and works in Olivebridge New York. Her artwork has been included in both regional and national exhibitions and is known for its bold experimentation and emotional resonance.
