In May of 2010, three Lowell artists convened together in a charming villa high in the Madonie Mountains of Sicily near the ancient seaside town of Cefalu. An artists' salon was born.

They gathered together with musicians in the evenings for music and stimulating conversation by a crackling fire. They traveled to ancient Roman and Greek ruins. Enjoying the wines and cuisine of the region, they traversed the beaches and the medieval mountain towns, absorbing the sites and sounds, storing those memories for personal visions.

"Tre Artisti in Sicilia" is the culmination of this incredible journey. The three artists, Will Winslow, Jean Winslow, and Barbara Gagel now wish to share their joyful memories with others.

The work shown is a mix of media: oil, acrylic, and encaustic, offering a textual narrative to three inner journeys.
