(Linda Manning, our curator, and Erika) Erika Shallcross is a visual artist based in New York City. A photographer, painter, and collage technician, her pieces are both whimsical and evocative. Regularly experimenting with new techniques and touching on various themes, Shallcross believes these parameters simultaneously anchor, free, and guide her work.

SAVE THE DATES Our next Gallery 505 opening is Thursday, November 17th, 7-9PM Featuring the work of Herb Kaplan “Beginning in the early 2000s, in addition to taking photos to record my travels with my wife Leah in the U.S. and abroad, I began to take pictures of nature, scenery and landscapes.   In recent years, I have become more conscious of taking photographs of flowers and plants very close up, both on vacations and close to home, especially at Wave Hill and New York Botanical Garden. And I have become more interested in the visual effect of the pictures I take, moving much closer in to capture the mystery, the intimacy, the sensuality in nature. In some cases, my intention is to take a photo of an object and crop it in such a way that the viewer might not immediately recognize what it is.”   Herb’s photographs have been exhibited at his synagogue in Manhattan (SAJ), Gallery 18 at Riverdale Y, Riverdale-Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture, and KRVC ‘s Art at Amalgamated annual exhibit.
