Serenity and solitude are not the first two qualities of life that spring to mind for an artist working in New York. But that’s what Nick Lamia found during his residency at Wave Hill this winter. In an email last week he wrote, 

I was invited to use a studio in Glyndor House at Wave Hill for six weeks this winter. It has been a productive and inspirational time, albeit too short! Anyone who has been here knows it is a terrific place, with amazing trees, great greenhouses and beautiful grounds. I've been drawing both abstract and representational imagery, focusing on trees, bird's nests and dead flies (!).

Join Nick and fellow Winter Workspace artists Carrie Beckmann, Danielle Durchslag, Sabrina Gshwandtner, and Adam Parker Smith at Wave Hill Open Studios on Sunday, February 12^th, from 1:30 to 4:30 pm. Free with admission to the grounds. Wave Hill, 249^th Street and Independence Avenue, Bronx, NY. Directions. Photos: Nick Lamia.
