AWA's newest member

AWA welcomes its newest member, Lynda Schlosberg. An abstract painter, her work draws from quantum theories and philosophies. In her own words, she "aims to depict an imaginal realm where all natural and unnatural forces collapse into a vibrating energy that can materialize into one of an infinite number of potential realties." Her work has been published and shown throughout New England, and we are delighted to add her to our ranks.

Changing of the guard

We say goodbye to AWA members, Dina Shaposhnikova and Victor Rucinski, as they move on to bigger and better things—we wish them luck!  Luckily for us, we get to keep them as Waltham neighbors, and their studio has been taken by AWA’s newest member, Lynda Schlosberg, who already fits right in (more on her soon). I reached out to Dina and Victor to ask them to share some photos of their studio and time here—you’ll find them below—our fifteen studios, each unique, take on the character of the occupying artists, and yet also quickly become almost unrecognizable when they change hands. We will miss Dina’s collages gracing our hallways and Victor’s vintage sound systems that proved endless fascination. Thanks for being part of AWA, guys, and welcome to the ranks of AWA alumni.
