Katee Boyle, a Chadds Ford native, and Lele Galer, a West Chester resident who writes an arts column for Chadds Ford Live, showcase their individual perspective in what is billed as a  “widely exploratory, mixed-media show.” The show’s title come from Dante’s Inferno and suggests an otherworldly realm of shining spheres, angels, and dreamscapes. On view is work in many media, showing a combination of welded steel pieces, encaustic, fabric, and oil paintings.

“‘Celestial Spheres’ represents my movement as an artist, growing forward and upward while exploring different mediums that I have been exposed to by fellow artists,” said Boyle in a CCAA press release.  “Like the motion of a sphere, sometimes it feels like running in circles to get to what I feel is the ‘next level.’”

Both Galer and Boyle acknowledge a great debt to artist and mentor Stan Smokler, whose summer welding workshop introduced them to the fascinating and wonderful medium of welded steel.  The show runs through Oct. 22.
