Lorrie Fredette

Lorrie Fredette's installations are informed by the way human health and nature intersect at the micro level. She employs seriality and materiality to create visual verses of beauty, harmony and awe.  She received her BFA from the Herron School of Art + Design/Indiana University. She has had numerous solo and group shows throughout the U.S. 

For her project, Lorrie will examine how a work of art begins by exploring sketches and ideas in work books and comparing that to the final product.   

Kris Garnier 

Kris Garnier spends time exploring in woods, fields, stream-sides, mountain tops, overgrown lots and cracks in a sidewalk, in search of interesting plants that she observes and preserves in her herbarium.  In 2017 she earned a botany certification through the NYBG.

She maintains estate gardens and indoor plant collections and is also a vocalist, composer, storyteller and amateur photographer.

Kris plans to seek out and mount native and non native plants growing in Saugerties today and to compare the plants with growth in future years.
