Loading Dock Gallery presents BEING HERE, an exploration of presence, perception, and the profound connection between a mother and son through the medium of abstract painting and collage. Laura Massei’s and Derek Raymond’s distinct interpretations of life, through their individual works, serve as visual meditations, inspiring hope and resilience while offering a glimpse into the boundless possibilities that unfold when we learn to embrace the present with an open heart and mind.

Come and see how their shared artistic dialogue weaves a tapestry of emotions, memories and aspirations—each navigating the range of complexities found in the everyday and acknowledging their continued personal growth through the transformative power of art and design.

BEING HERE can be enjoyed July 3 through July 28 at the Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Avenue, Lowell, MA, Noon-5:30 pm, Wednesday-Saturday, until 4pm Sunday. Reception 3-5pm, Saturday, July 6, 2024. More at www.theloadingdockgallery.com.
