Gallery G at Gomez Mill House was inaugurated on Sunday, May 22nd. Visitors and well-wishers joined Eleanor Winters, one of the participating artists, and others in viewing the first exhibit, Snippets: the Art and Craft of Paper Cutting.

Gallery G at Gomez Mill House, located on the second floor of the nearly 300 year old Gomez Mill House, will host two original shows per season based on themes inspired by the history of the Mill House.

The inaugural show, SNIPPETS: the Art and Craft of Paper Cutting highlights a “Snippet” of the long and myriad cultural paper cutting traditions from around the world in extraordinary examples that include Chinese Paper Cuts by Hou Tien Cheng, Calligraphy Quilts by Eleanor Winters, Silhouettes by Ella Richards, Jewish Paper Cuts by Melanie Dankowicz, and German Scherenschnitte by Ann Sanders and a Gomez family ancestor by marriage, Sara R. de R. Lopez (1836)

Early origins of the paper cutting practices are illustrated and explored in the current works by these established artists and craft masters from New York, New Hampshire and New Jersey.
