Artist Ricky McEachern explores moments in time in this exhibition of his paintings The show features landscapes and people in varied and colorful settings that McEachern has observed in his years exploring New England.
“The title comes from looking back at my experience working at Sears, Roebuck in Chicago many years ago when I suddenly realized that all of that was gone,” he said, “and that all the people who worked there had no idea what was coming and how different the future would be. “They, and we, only have that moment, that now.”
Although he is relatively new to the area, McEachern has dived right in. He continues hosting a podcast called Eager To Know, in which he engages with creative people of all types. He recently put his DJ skills to use with an early morning weekly broadcast on WOOL-FM radio in Bellows Falls called Bellows Hellos and a tea dance that he organized at Ciao Popolo restaurant.
McEachern came to painting after working as an engineer and then exploring art in Chicago before moving to Saxtons River a few years ago. He held his first solo show in Saxtons River less than three years ago. More details and examples of his art can be found at his website https://www.rickymceachernartist.com.
