Embracing Nature
Reception - Saturday, June 13th, from 6-9 p.m.
The new show for June at the ARTery Gallery in Milford is sure to delight both art and nature enthusiasts. Potters, Scott and Debbie Helfand, and printmaker Carol Lyons invite you to step into a world where the beauty of the natural landscape is honored, celebrated, and transformed into art you can hold in your hands.
Retired educators Scott and Debbie Helfand spend their time exploring the natural world and expressing their love for the environment through clay. Their work is inspired by their desire to promote environmental stewardship. Through design and decoration, they seek to create pieces that inspire others to join them in protecting the environment. Debbie expresses her fondness through hand-building with clay. She often includes upcycled fabrics and natural elements in her pieces and enjoys incorporating whimsical themes. Scott works with a variety of media, including clay, glass, and steel, often combining materials to create aesthetically functional works. Debbie and Scott are committed to promoting Peace, Equality, Inclusion, and a cleaner, healthier environment for our collective future by creating aesthetic, functional art that celebrates environmental friendliness and incorporates themes of nature.
Carol Ann Lyons is currently a private practice art therapist and has been an artist and printmaker for over 40 years. She is a professional conservator of books and artwork on paper. Her clients include Princeton, Simon & Schuster, the New York Botanical Garden, Sony, and lovers of fine art and printmaking in the metropolitan area. Her favorite experiences with the natural world are the simple micro-moments throughout the day that bring her joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Her work is allegorical as she explores the relationships she creates and what the natural world encounters within its environment. Carol’s recent prints and paintings are expressed by using acrylic paint on wood, paper, and cloth. Her training as a professional printmaker leads her recent realistic series as a prerequisite to her future woodcuts and monotypes.
You can enjoy the remarkable work of the Helfands and Carol Lyons at the ARTery gallery from June 11th through July 6th. The public is invited to visit with them and enjoy refreshments at their opening reception on Saturday, June 13th, from 6-9 pm.

Print Meets Paint
Reception - Saturday, July 11th, from 6-9 p.m.
The ARTery Gallery's July exhibit, “Print Meets Paint,” features the work of mixed-media artist and long-time ARTery member Laura Dudes alongside photographers Glenn and Ken McCaleb, two of the gallery's newer members. Together, these accomplished artists present a vibrant and engaging exhibition that celebrates their individual talents and distinctive artistic visions.
Laura Dudes’ artistic journey has been one of continual growth, exploration, and creative reinvention. After a successful career as a graphic artist creating designs and packaging for major brands including M&M Mars, Crayola, and BASF, Laura returned to painting in 2015 and has since developed a distinctive artistic voice all her own.
Now working in mixed media, Laura has spent years refining techniques that bring remarkable texture, depth, and dimension to her canvases. Drawing inspiration from conversations, music, memories, and everyday moments, she explores the emotions and experiences that connect us all. Her simplified figures and expressive compositions invite viewers to see themselves within the stories she tells.
Today, Laura’s work is recognized for its vibrant energy, rich surfaces, and heartfelt authenticity. Having developed a visual language that is uniquely her own, she is producing some of her strongest and most confident work to date, creating paintings that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.
The McCaleb brothers, Glenn and Ken, are celebrating their first anniversary exhibiting at the ARTery Gallery. Glenn, an educator and acclaimed landscape and woodland photographer, taught art in New York City's public school system for 25 years, serving students in the Bronx before continuing his teaching career in Pike County. His professional experience includes working as a commercial color printer in Manhattan, and he is the recipient of a prestigious Kodak Award recognizing excellence in photography.
Ken McCaleb brings an equally distinguished creative background to the partnership. For more than two decades, he directed television productions at the United Nations and collaborated with notable figures including Steven Spielberg, Maya Angelou, Stephen Colbert, and Jane Goodall. Earlier in his career, Ken worked at Columbia Pictures/Screen Gems as a cameraman and still photographer on an ABC daytime television drama. His focus today is on the amazing wildlife found abundantly throughout the Poconos.
Following a recent appearance on National Public Radio (NPR), the McCaleb brothers have announced plans to publish their second coffee-table book, ‘McCaleb Bros. Now... Nearly Famous’. Widely regarded as two of Northeastern Pennsylvania's premier photographers, the brothers continue to captivate audiences with their unique artistic vision and commitment to showcasing the beauty of the natural world with their signed and numbered printed images.
You can meet Laura Dudes, Glenn McCaleb, and Ken McCaleb at their opening reception on Saturday, July 11, from 6-9 PM, which includes refreshments. The ARTery welcomes the public to this free cultural event. The exhibit will be on display from Thursday, July 9 through Monday, Aug 3.
