The Artists' Gallery's April showcase, "Patterns of Life", features the sculptural ceramic creations of Patricia Lange and water media paintings by Carol Sanzalone. Both artists share a creative delight in patterns, textures and colors and present an exciting showcase as featured artists for the month of April at the Artists' Gallery, 18 Bridge Street, Lambertville, NJ 08530. "Patterns of Life" fills the main gallery space and invites you to share images and objects influenced by the Delaware Valley.

For Pat Lange, there is nothing better than having her hands deep in clay and transforming it into a wall piece or a large sculpture that profoundly satisfies her. Her source of inspiration is nature, the movement of the waves, the forms of the clouds, the ripples in the sand, the bark of the trees, the warmth and richness of nature's colors. These elements move her to reproduce them in clay. Like nature, her work is always evolving bringing spontaneity to her work.

With watercolor and acrylic washes of color, Carol Sanzalone enlivens the graphic impact of the visual elements in her paintings. Using realistic subjects and experimental images, her paintings concentrate on light, color, texture and the patterns they create. Inspired by the Delaware Valley and the Sourland Hills, where her studio is located, Carol often works plein air to capture the color and light as it changes throughout the day and seasons. These paintings inspire her experimental work, as she sees beyond the subject.

Together, the artists present the exciting showcase of the "Patterns of Life".
