My Heart Leaps Up
Summer All Members Exhibit
Curated by Suzanne Goldberg
July 16th - August 9th, 2025
Composite Image. From left to right and top to bottom: Blue Edge of Autumn by Leslie Harris, Tea Kettle by Iza Thomas The Wonder of Our Earth #1 by Beverly Logan, La Cinquantaine by Eleanor Wangn, If You Only Knew by Wayne Paige, Through Monument Valley by Gordon Binder, Aging Gracefully by Jo Levine
Our theme is derived from the opening lines of a poem by William Wordsworth:
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The poem expresses a belief that life is not worth living if one loses a sense of delight in nature’s beauty.
In this show, Studio Gallery members reveal what brings each of them great joy or a sense of wonder. Their inspirations are deeply personal and diverse: landscapes, urban scenes, water, trees, flowers, architecture, people, animals, bursts of color, and more. Our artists express their joy through paint, ink, photography, sculpture, collage, and other media.
