Zulma Steele: Artist/Craftswoman opens Friday August 21 at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts. The exhibition examines the career of one of Byrdcliffe’s earliest artist residents and includes ceramics, furniture and furniture designs, paintings, notebooks, and works on paper.
Zulma Steele (1881–1979) came to Byrdcliffe in 1903 during its first summer of operation and immediately established herself as a leading force in both the furniture and architectural designs of the art colony. She and her longtime collaborator and companion Edna Walker, both students of Arthur Wesley Dow at Pratt Institute, lived in Byrdcliffe’s cottage Angelus through the second decade of the twentieth century. In addition to her signature crafts, the exhibition has nearly twenty paintings spanning a variety of subjects. Landscape was a primary focus of her career; as a student of Birge Harrison, much of her work combines the aesthetics of Impressionism and Tonalism.
The exhibition is curated by Henry T. Ford, Derin Tanyol, Bruce Weber, and Tom Wolf and will include an illustrated catalogue.
Exhibition Dates: August 21–November 22, 2020
Gallery hours: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 12:00 - 5:00 pm.
Visitors are required to wear masks and practice social distancing while viewing the exhibition.

Available now in the Byrdcliffe Shop- paintings by Elissa Gore. Elissa is a landscape painter who paints from both observation and memory. In all her work, @goreelissa strives to find a feeling of the universal in the natural landscape. Since 2002, Elissa has spent most summers as a resident artist at Byrdcliffe. Cooper Lake has been an inspiration and about 10 years ago she began a series of watercolors of the historic buildings at the colony. She participates frequently in plein air painting events in the northeast and recently co-founded the event Paint Inwood.
In the northeast, she is represented by Markel Fine Arts in New York City and Madelyn Jordon Fine Art in Scarsdale. Her website is www.elissagore.net. Her paintings are in over 60 public collections including Citibank, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Pfizer, New York Presbyterian Hospital, The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the US State Department and the Vanguard Group.

Rennie Cantine: “Byrdcliffe is in my blood. I was born and raised in Chanticleer, the first house built in what would become the Byrdcliffe Artists Colony. These grounds, these mountains, these residents were my childhood. The experience of being raised in this specific setting during the ‘60s and early 70’s completely shaped the trajectory- not only of my life and work/career, choices/path- but comes together most notably in the body of the work here.
Most of my new work has been built since Covid locked me in my workshop. That first day I thought… OK, fresh start, no deadline, how could I combine my history, my future, my love of wood, nature, mountains, water & clouds? What is it going to be? I imagined being a thousand feet over the Ashokan Reservoir looking North at my favorite mountains- those that surround Woodstock: Ohayo, Guardian and Overlook. I considered resting on them. I considered finding myself in them. Thank you Byrdcliffe.”
