Born and raised in Lithuania, Erika Zvilnaite found her artistic voice after moving to Orleans. Painting became her way to navigate new beginnings, blending memories of home with the light and landscapes of Cape Cod. Snow Library has been a sanctuary for her curiosity and creativity, a place where books and light inspired her journey of self-discovery.

This 20-year retrospective traces 20 years of Zvilnaite’s evolution as an artist. It unfolds in three chapters. Beginnings in Oil features vibrant flowers and horses, symbols of hope and renewal. Exploring Place and Medium captures Cape Cod’s landscapes in acrylics, casein, and watercolor as a meditation on memory and transformation. And Into the Subconscious reflects the fluidity and depth of the inner world through introspective watercolors, guided by dreams and emotion.

A photography exhibition by Harwich-based photographer Pat Watson will be on display in the Marion Craine Gallery throughout the month of July. Painted Pixels: The Art of Painterly Photography features 24 of Pat’s works. A reception to meet the artist will be held on Saturday, July 12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Works from local artists celebrating diversity, love, unity, and our LGBTQ+ community will be on display in the Craine Gallery during the month of June. An opening reception for the exhibit will be held on Wednesday, June 4.
