SUMMARY:METALSUM – Art Inspired by Nature and Imagined Through Found Objects
DESCRIPTION:“METALSUM”\, art for the home and garden. Found and repurposed objects welded into abstract\, representational and whimsical art with an emphasis on portraying the natural world. \n– \nJane Kolias creates decorative rustic metal art from found\, abandoned and discarded objects. She finds things in nooks and crannies of antique and thrift stores\, salvage yards\, friend’s back yards\, roadway ditches\, abandoned fields\, forays into the woods and sometimes her own kitchen drawers. \nInspiration for these designs comes from observing nature\, the creativity of fellow artists\, and the found objects themselves. Each finished piece has its own unique configuration and blend of components which become garden and landscape pieces\, wall hangings\, and tabletop items. \nJane starts each project with a design in mind. As she considers which bits of scrap metal to use\, the process becomes fluid and dynamic\, creating a synergistic partnership between herself and the various components. This often results in the finished piece only somewhat resembling her original design. \nIf she knows the name or purpose of a component\, she will label it\, but for many pieces the component’s utility is unknown to her. She occasionally adds paint to a finished piece but her preference is to leave each work unpainted for a more organic look. For outside art\, she applies several layers of clear protective coating to help abate rust formation. \nArtist’s bio: Jane Kolias\, a native New Hampshirite now residing in Vermont\, has an extensive and lifelong association with the arts. As a young adult\, she was active in the performing arts including community theatre and competitive ballroom dance. As a textile artist she has designed quilts and costumes\, has worked with metals in jewelry design and fabrication\, and has created landscape art such as stonewall and rock garden arrangements. Her most recent endeavor\, “METALSUM”\, involves welding found objects into abstract\, representational and whimsical art with an emphasis on portraying the natural world.

SUMMARY:Identification and Role of Native and Non-native Shrubs as Habitat for Birds - June 12
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their in person\, outdoors June programs: Identification and Role of Native and Non-native Shrubs as Habitat for Birds on June 12 and June 14. \nWednesday\, June 12 5:30-8:00pm and Friday\, June 14 7:30-10:00am at Pickering Ponds trails\, Rochester. Each program will be limited to 15 participants with no repeat registrants. This event will be held entirely outdoors and will be held as long as it is not raining. Participants should bring their binoculars and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions at the time of the event. \nThis program\, by Matt Tarr of UNH Cooperative Extension\, will teach you how to identify the most common native and non-native shrubs that comprise many bird habitats in NH. We will identify each shrub species\, discuss how each species functions as bird habitat\, and which shrubs you want to encourage on your land to benefit birds. We will also be looking and listening for birds (of course!) and sharing our tips for how to identify the birds we encounter during the trip. \nMatt Tarr is Extension Professor\, State Wildlife Habitat Specialist for the University of NH Cooperative Extension. Much of Matt’s research and work is focused on determining how non-native shrubs function as habitat for songbirds and on how birds respond to land-use and habitat management practices at different landscape scales. Matt is an avid birder who enjoys photographing and recording birds. \nEach program will be limited to 15 participants with no repeat registrants. This event will be held entirely outdoors and will be held as long as it is not raining. Participants should bring their binoculars and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions at the time of the event (see Pickering Ponds beginner bird walk for directions). As the event nears\, visit the Seacoast Chapter site for more information and to sign-up.
