Danica D. Marshall, whose “A Journey of Inclusion and Belonging” solo exhibition is now on view in the Open Door Arts Gallery at the Worcester Art Museum, paints from her home studio just outside Boston. She’s profiled by Claudia Fiks in our latest issue.

“The space hums with quiet order: tubes of color neatly lined on narrow shelves, canvases leaning patiently against the walls, and tactile cards spread across the worktable. Accessibility has become central to her creative philosophy,” Fiks writes. “Drawing on her background in technology, she continues to innovate by designing tactile works for people with low vision, neurodiverse individuals, and others who engage with art beyond sight. Each piece invites touch, texture, and connection, an inclusive gesture that extends her commitment to visibility. The instinct to fix and improve, once vital in her technical career, now finds new life in her studio.”

In addition to her work at WAM, DaNice’s painting can also be seen in the “Unwrapping Part II” show from December 5 through 28 at TAG the Art Gallery in SoWa Boston and in the Attleboro Arts Museum’s “Members Exhibition” that opens December 13 and runs until January 23.

In “Suspended Realities,” which closes this Sunday, November 30 at M Fine Arts Galerie, 450 Harrison Ave. , Boston, Massachusetts painter Marc Chalmé and UK sculptor Beth Carter offer a dialogue between “light and form, interior stillness and mythic transformation.” The artists invite viewers to inhabit their worlds where the familiar merges with the extraordinary — “places of mystery, tenderness, and introspection — where time, memory, and imagination converge.” The SoWaBoston-based gallery will be open Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. and on Sunday from noon-4 p.m.

There are two events tied to this weekend’s opening of painter and printmaker Ilana Manolson’s “Of Root, Stem, and Leaf” exhibition at Lucy Lacoste Gallery, 25 Main St., Concord, Massachusetts: its opening reception is on Saturday (Nov. 22) from 5-7 p.m. followed by an artist talk on Sunday (Nov. 23) at 2 p.m.

The show is previewed by Carolyn Wirth in her “Conocrd Wanderlust” feature in our latest issue:

“Manolson creates expressive, painterly monoprints, often referencing landscape and vegetation, and often using acrylic on materials such as duralar, a glossy plastic which allows the artist’s vibrant pigments to remain intact on the surface and retain the nuance of each gesture of the maker’s hand.

“I draw on my decades of scientific training alongside my artistic practice to make monoprints that speak to the entwined systems of earth, water and air,” Manolson explained. “Over many years of looking closely at my home landscape of Concord, I aim to capture the ever-changing textures and transitions of its natural environment. These works translate the simultaneous power and fragility of the changing cycles of the natural world, building up surfaces to convey the spirit of place.”

“Manolson is paired with a selection of ceramic sculptors, including Japanese master ceramicist Kohyama Yasuhisa, American Kyle Johns, and a grouping of unique tea bowls from gallery artists. Pairing earthy, gestural, expressive prints with the earthbound, tectonic presences of ceramic sculpture is a well-curated balancing act.”

Last week, Artscope Magazine’s Brian Goslow and Beth Neville got an early peek and tour of Worcester Art Museum’s Arms and Armor Galleries that officially opens this Saturday, November 22, by Director Matthias Waschek and Curator Jeffrey L. Forgeng. The new gallery space feels modern and fresh and presents “more than 1,000 objects from medieval and Renaissance Europe to pieces from Greece, Egypt, Japan, India and beyond” and will serve as an example of how historic collections can be presented in a new light.

“Armor and arms continue to have a mythic power, from ancient history to present-day storytelling, and this resonates with visitors of all ages,” Forgeng said. “Our installations are designed to engage audiences, encourage their curiosity about these objects—from their history, to how they were made, how much they weigh, and what it might have been like to hold or use them, whether in fighting, for sport, or for ceremonial purposes. After a decade of planning, it is thrilling that we will soon be able to share this remarkable collection with the public.”

Access to WAM’s Arms and Armor Galleries will be by timed-entry reservations available through the museum website at worcesterart.org as well as when purchasing a general admission ticket to the museum that is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. with extended hours on Thursday evening to 7 p.m.

Laura Shabott’s “You Only Get One Body,” on view through January 25, 2026, at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, 60 Hope Lane, Dennis, Massachusetts, is her first solo museum show, and, as her curator David Perry said, “It’s a very big deal,” the culmination of years of committed persistence.

“The whole show really is about drawing and painting the figure from life,” Shabott explained. “When you work with different models they are all very unique — not just physically but energetically, and each model brings out a different kind of drawing.”

Longtime friend Lee Roscoe reviews the show and explores Shabott’s career in our latest issue:

“She uses oil by brush and pigment stick, acrylic, gouache, pastel, charcoal, and sometimes all of the above in a work — be it on canvas, Masonite, paper, wood; drawing, painting, or collaging. Shabott said that it doesn’t emerge from the brush stroke like some painters, rather it is a response to the human being who is her model, as the life force of that person explodes through her gestures on the surface of the material, through her own life force, expressing as she would say, the energy of creating it—resulting in very earthy, sensual images, the body in chaos, entropy, becoming, striving for order perhaps, but always in motion, even when sitting. She seldom depicts faces, it is as if the body itself is the face, the inner spirit of the person.”
