Lynne Mayocole
Sum of It
February 4 – March 1, 2025
Reception: Sat, Feb 8, 3-5 pm
SUM OF IT is a decades-encompassing retrospective exhibition by New York City artist Lynne Mayocole. The show, which features works from a variety of installation-based series, represents different periods and moments in the artist’s life. “Sum” of those moments are joyful, some are sad, most are peculiar, and all come together as Mayocole’s life long expression of creativity.
Lynne Mayocole is a sculptor currently residing in Manhattan. Born into a family of artists, the daughter of a sculptor who studied with Archipenko and a violinist who toured Europe before the Second World War, Mayocole studied at the Art Students’ League and Columbia University. She completed her BA cum laude at Mt. Holyoke, and her MA at Teachers College, which retains one of Mayocole’s pieces in its collection. Mayocole worked as an assistant to Nat Kaz, and worked with Tony Padavano at Columbia.
Mayocole’s work is known for connecting sculpture and narrative through installation, and has been exhibited in New York City, Chicago, Paris, Costa Rica, Oslo, Albuquerque, and at Storm King sculpture park. Mayocole is an active member of the National Arts Club, where she serves as the co-chair of the Archaeology Committee.

Hagar Fletcher
Work from the Bomb Shelter
February 4 – March 1, 2025
Reception: Thu, Feb 6, 6-8 pm
Ceres Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Hagar Fletcher – WORK FROM THE BOMB SHELTER. The work of this Israeli artist exists at the nexus of opposites: where sadness meets joy, success meets failure, and lack meets excess.Through manipulated photographs, delicate embroidery, emotional painting, and drawing, Fletcher’s art explores fear and pain under rocket attack, and with an explosion of color and fantasy, seeks the positive – hope and faith.
“My works will always include my sorrows and tears, but not only mine. I carry them within and let them go through my art.” – Hagar Fletcher
