Barbara Ratcliffe came to the area to be closer to her son and two grandchil- dren and resides in Bethany Village in Coxsackie. Barbara, made her career in New Jersey, received her training, education and certifi cation to become licensed in the fi eld of substance abuse counseling. Barbara, who works part-time, has the role of greet- ing people at the gallery and as receptionist for the past six months. She claims “I fi nd being involved in the fi eld of creativity is stimulating, pleasing and brings happiness to my soul.” Barbara believes her decision to move to Greene County is the best she has ever made as it allows her to live close to her family in a safe and beautiful area. It only takes a few moments when you fi rst interact with Barbara to feel her warmth and unwavering kindness.
Elizabeth Tyre moved upriver from New York City to Germantown 24 years ago to nourish her soul beside the ever-fl owing Hudson River and the endless chain of Nature’s bounty. A dozen years ago Elizabeth crossed-over-the bridge to purchase her fi rst house on Thompson Street. Elizabeth boasts “Here in this handsome old Queen Anne, I’m living the rarifi ed and refl ective life of a ‘River Rat’ scooting along the river- side with my dogs, taking full advantage of Catskills’ eclectic character as one of the sweetest natural-harbor towns in the Northeast. Catskill, lying in a perfect pocket of the Hudson, offers easy access to Albany, Boston, and the Big Apple, while staying hard- wired to our founding down-home traditions. I like the dichotomy where I can not only create my life, but actually feel myself doing it.” Elizabeth’s training with Experience Works led her to GCCA and gives pleasure of joining with the fabulous people of the Council and its membership who are dedicated to nurturing the creative spirit of Greene County and its friends and neighbors. Elizabeth continues “At GCCA, I get to meet and greet painters, photographers, sculptors, dancers, singers, every stripe of creativity is targeted for the stardom at GCCA! And it’s the people, the people we serve that make 1. Barbara Ratcliffe it worthwhile- and we do it together.” (top left) 2.

When not fervently working at her GCCA desk Marcia remains quite the Anglophile, who loves the U.K., English literature, classic fi lms, fi ne food and wines, travel, the out-of-doors – and art!
Masters on Main Street Intern Kirsten Bates moved to Athens-on-the-Hudson where her desire to live in a village was made more attractive by the landscape and the proximity to the river. Kirsten received her B.F.A. from Moore College of Art where she studied painting and photography. She then ventured to New York and began making slide/sound installations, work combining slides and sounds, often interviews, with set pieces. Kirsten was a founding member of Colab. She then became involved with avant garde theater, fi lm and video, performing in a lot of works, directing and writing and along with others she formed a group called Turmoil. Turmoil was the fi rst group to perform David Wojnarowicz’z collection of monologues Sounds in the Distance. Kirsten professional work in feature fi lms led her to developing several proj- ects of her own and began making documentaries. She eventually purchased her own camera and editing system. After moving out of the city Kirsten became a serious gardener and videographer of nature. Always keeping a journal, she began to write more. Now attending Columbia-Greene Community College for Business Administra- tion, Kirsten hopes to combine her degree in art with her degree in business adminis- tration in a job in arts administration. This brought Kirsten to GCCA where she is very happy to intern with GCCA Art Director Fawn Potash and admits to going home in a good mood because she has been around creative, friendly people!
Sharon Hulett-Shepherd is the new Assistant to Executive Director Kay Stamer and Membership Coordinator. Originally from Vermont, Sharon moved to Columbia County in 2003. She obtained a B.A. in Art from Castleton State College with a concen- tration in printmaking and minor in art history. Prior to moving to the area Sharon worked at the Southern Vermont Arts Center, a year round art organization dedicated to the visual and performing arts, as the exhibition coordinator and art sales manag- er in the Yester House Galleries. It was there where her passion for the arts thrived. She is most proud of her time working with many fi ne artists; young students from the area schools, over 500 hundred artist members and visiting artists including Peter Page 4 2013 July/August ARTS Alive How to Contact GCCA Your Lawmakers Artful Hand (For Columbia/Greene Counties) Governor Andrew Cuomo Gallery Executive Chamber, State Capitol, Albany, NY 12224 Gift Shop Tel: (518) 474-8390

Free Play Space Design/Build Workshops For six consecutive Fridays, beginning May 3, children and families are invited to work together with the help of local artist/builder Matt Bua and local educator Laura Anderson to design and build a sculptural Play Space inside the Catskill Community Center. The dreams and imaginations of young and old will become intertwined in a collaborative sculptural masterpiece that will serve as the raw material for the inventive play of the youngsters in the Catskill Community Center’s array of youth programs and as an inspirational backdrop to Community events. During the Friday workshops, children ages 6 through 12 will take inspiration from artist-built Play Spaces such as The City Museum in St. Louis, MO and the Playground at the Queens Hall of Science in NYC among others. They will learn basic drawing and modeling skills as they begin to map out their dream play space on paper and in 3D. Near the end of the 6 weeks, participants will get a chance to work with materials such as wood, cardboard, rope and paint, basic hand tools such as hand drills and screwdrivers and will learn basic sculpture technique while building some elements of the play space. By the end of the project a “zine” (handmade magazine) of participants designs and drawings will be completed and a set of collaborative designs incorporating all participants ideas will be drawn up for use during the “Community Build” weekend. The “Community Build,” which will take place on Saturday and Sunday June 15 and 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., includes a potluck lunch each day. Families of participants in the workshops as well as any interested community members are invited to take part. Young and old will work side by side to bring the Play Space to life. Participants are asked to bring tools, materials, a playful spirit and, if they can, something tasty to share for lunch. Free Play Space Design/Build Workshops Fridays May 3-June 7, 4-5:30 p.m., The Catskill Community Center, 344 Main St. For children ages 6-12 (Children under 6 may attend with an adult). Teen and adult collaborators are also encouraged to participate. (Actually, we really need volunteers. If you’re interested please get in touch.) To sign up, contact Laura Anderson 570-560-0463 [email protected] Community Build Weekend Saturday and Sunday June 15 and 16, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Open to all, young and old. Potluck lunch at noon. Join us for the whole day, part of the day or just stop by for lunch and see what we’re up to.
