Howard Windham | Featured Artist
A Rhode Island School of Design graduate and professor emeritus from the University of Massachusetts/Dartmouth, where he completed his MFA, Windham’s collages, paintings, and sculptures have been exhibited throughout New England. This exhibition offers a look back at his work from the 1960s through the 2020s and the through lines that show up in works by his first- and third-born children, Corey and Brett. His signature grids, dots, and lines recur in his work throughout the decades—referencing the aphorism that great forms can be constructed from the most minuscule of building blocks.
His love of cats, reading, and baseball also will be on display, along with the profundity of a disciplined artist with pronounced facial recognition blindness who was compelled to make hundreds of invented face collages.

Brett Day Windham | Guest Artist
Brett Day Windham is a multidisciplinary artist currently working with cyanotype. Her work is based on ideas about color and collecting. Using an intuitive sense of formal composition, she organizes collections of natural, commercial, and industrial remnants into multidisciplinary works that evoke mysticism and ritual. Her current work with hand-painted cyanotypes combines early-process photographs, paintings on paper, and objectless sculpture.

Corey Windham | Guest Artist
As an itinerant visual design educator, Corey Turner Windham taught thousands of K–4 students in Massachusetts for over 28 years. During the COVID lockdown in 2020, Corey found himself making a series of grid paintings with acrylics similar to what he had done previously with colored pencils or watercolors in earlier sketchbooks.
“My early memories of my Dad were of him (without a moustache) swearing at rubber cement while he was meticulously gluing various colored paper dots made with a hole punch. Ironically, he was gluing colored square punched paper at the end.”
