Arts take over Bellport Lane

TAMARA HAYES Earthy and at home in a design magazine, Hayes’s ceramics are comforting but still stylized enough for even the most discerning of brunch guests.

MICHAEL LOMBARDI Creatures capable of flight dominate Lombardi’s artwork, stretching from backyard birdwatching to fantastical beasts of dreams.

JOHN CHENG Celebrating the staying power of “The Mona Lisa,” we see the first lady of art muses in newly imagined poses with a variety of feline companions.

JEREMY GRAND Intricate details and maddening, almost Escher-like labyrinths of repeated shapes, Grand’s work is for the detail-oriented to lose themselves in the OCD of it all.

HOLLY HUNT An intrepid explorer, Hunt finds the beauty in the death and decay of dormant structures, where she photographs herself lost in a bygone era that birthed the abandoned buildings that serve as her muse.

CASEY GREENE Mystical and symbolic of nature’s empowerment, Greene’s illustrations are at home in a feminist revision of a Tolkien novel.

Filling the Fourth of July with festivity and fine art was the 63rd annual South Bay Art Association’s Artists on the Lane event in Bellport.

One of the largest outdoor art shows on Long Island, the event draws artists from all over the country.

For the event, Bellport Lane is closed to all vehicular traffic from Main Street down to the Great South Bay.

The Bellport Garden Club was on hand to sell floral bouquets on the grounds of the Bellport Historical Society, which is also located on Bellport Lane.

This year’s artists included the media variety that the event has become known for—from watercolors to paper art, to ink to ceramics, there was a type of artistry for every collector who visited.
