"Hackard Law is excited to support the KCRA 3 Kids Can! Food Drive, which has been assisting our local families since 1987. Running from October 4th to November 7th, this event will provide food aid across Northern California. We are proud to be involved and encourage others in the community to join us! Schools can participate by signing up as donation locations, and we welcome individuals to join our effort by contributing non-perishable food items. Together, we can make a difference!

Time is the framework for my drawing and painting practice. In working with the figure, I seek to capture both a moment and the internal landscape of the sitter. Daily drawing sessions function as a meditation—repetition that sharpens vision, timing, and the choices I make with color, line, positive and negative space, and other principles of art-making.

Between looking and seeing, there is a fleeting gap: a split second where an image imprints itself on my mind before I translate it to canvas. This gap, described in Buddhism as a place of stillness and equilibrium, is central to my work. It is a space beyond words or thought—just presence.

Roses are also a recurring motif in my practice. For me, they serve as a metaphor for the human spirit. Through the use of multiple roses and mirrors, I explore light, reflection, and metaphor, creating spaces that attempt to hold and extend a moment.

Ultimately, my work is an inquiry into memory, perception, and the impossibility of holding on. To capture the fleeting is like trying to grasp smoke before it disappears into a black hole.

Opening Reception: Sept 20 - Oct 25, 2025
No On-Site Parking

Bridge Street Theatre presents the U.S. Premiere of Red Like Fruit by award-winning playwright Hannah Moscovitch, October 2–12, 2025, on its “Priscilla” Mainstage in Catskill. Moscovitch, hailed as “the dark angel of Canadian theatre,” has earned international acclaim for her fearless works including East of Berlin and Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes. In Red Like Fruit, journalist Lauren (Elizabeth Narciso) investigates a domestic violence case but soon finds herself reckoning with her own long-suppressed past. Her narrative is voiced by an actor (Johnny Travers), forcing audiences to question whose stories are told and whose are silenced. Winner of a “Fringe First” Award at the Edinburgh Festival, the play is directed by Margo Whitcomb, who previously helmed BST’s Berkie Award-winning East of Berlin. Bold, intimate, and uncompromising, Red Like Fruit offers Hudson Valley audiences a chance to encounter one of today’s most daring playwrights up close. Tickets: bridgest.org/red-like-fruit.

Twin brothers George (guitar) and Charles Clements (bass) return with their first joint project since The Lonely Heartstrings Band, blending roots, rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical into a sound that’s both intimate and groovy. Opening the evening, Vermont folk duo The Early Risers—Ashley Storrow and Putnam Smith—deliver rich vocal harmonies and intricate arrangements on banjo, guitar, mandolin, piano, and more, joined by Sarah Carlisle (upright bass) and Lissa Schneckenburger (fiddle). A night of heartfelt songwriting, instrumental virtuosity, and warm New England charm.

Based upon the motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly, this hit Broadway musical holds a special recipe for finding love in unexpected places.
