On the Cusp

Kingston Gallery solo exhibit
March, 2025

Four etchings from the March 2025 show at the Kingston Gallery, “On the Cusp.”

In Diane’s Go-Between (two dusky blue circles exit stage left and right, but a river tethers them through a central open ring, which is blue limned in buttery yellow. This unfurls against a peach backdrop, which seems to warm around and within the center ring. Light energy, thermal energy, a throb of form, held together note by note with mouthwatering tones.”

Strange Circuitry
Artspace Maynard, March 2020

MARJORIE KAYE & DIANE NOVETSKY

“Painters Marjorie Kaye and Diane Novetsky work on different scales — Kaye crafts dense paintings on small, shaped plywood, and Novetsky often works sweepingly on larger canvases. They share a taste for abstraction in supercharged colors, a delight in rush and spin, and a pleasure in pulling formal tensions taut.”

—Cate McQuaid, Boston Globe 3/5/20
