Dyment showcases work at Firehouse
Artist Cheryl Dyment is hanging her work in the gallery at the Firehouse Center for the Arts this month.
Her exhibit, "The Importance of Floating and Other Lessons," is derived from Dyment's experience as a teen when she nearly drowned while swimming at Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester.
Dyment, of Middleton, created the images from her memories, which stem from a lesson she learned in swim class, to lie on her back and float, when getting pulled by a riptide.
"Calmness enveloped her even as the currents carried her so far out she could no longer see land," according to the exhibit's material. "What she did see was a bright sun, blue water and a 'sea of diamonds' all around her." She was eventually rescued by a lifeguard.
The show will run through March 11 in the Firehouse lobby.

Photographer Chuck Kendrick is exhibiting at Anna Jaques Hospital this month.

Provident Lobby for the Arts show centers on group

The show, "Personal Inspirations," includes pieces by Susan Wood, Martha Daigle, Rick Hayes, Mike Guidi and Agnes Guidi.
Wood, a watercolor painter, focuses on birds and nature. Daigle explores the ordinary pieces of everyday life in her works — those things and places that you always pass by. Hayes, a retired emergency room doctor, now spends his time traveling throughout the world doing volunteer work. Those travels has inspired many of his paintings.
Mike Guidi enjoys working in watercolor, pastel and mixed media. Agnes Guidi "accidentally" began taking oil paintings lessons when her daughter was attending an art program at the YMCA in Lynn. Since then, she's studied with several instructors and taken lessons from Chuck Margeson with her son, Mike.
The exhibit will be available for viewing during the Provident branch hours, 5 Market St., Amesbury. It runs throughout the month.
