“Home is Where the Heart Is” in the Terrarium Gallery

Solo Project Space: Julian Schaevitz: “Life on Mars” Abstraction in the Alcove Gallery: Amy Kupferman, Guillermo Bublik, John Patterson, Lisa Pressman, Stephanie DeManuelle Now- 11/16/25

James Pusterino and the Drawing Rooms are excited to announce THREE SHOWS

The Two of Us –The Beatles In The Terrarium Gallery

What is the stage set of your interior life?

Surrounded by objects used in our daily life that reflect our interests, joys, and challenges and which also hold memories of the past, present, and a desired future—these objects make up the contents of a home and tell the story of a cherished life. Featuring 30 artists and over 40 works that concern the theme of home.

Home is Where the Heart is Artists: Anne Gilley, Bud McNichol, Cara London, Carol Thompson, Darren Singer, Denise Mortensen, Efrat BalerMoses, Elizabeth Bisbing, Ellen Stavitsky, Ellen Weider, Eva Weiss, Francine Demeulenaere, Gail Vachon, Gevork Sherbetchyan, Ida Picker, Janette Aiello, Janice Belove, Karen Abada, Kate Temple, Katherine, Nagel, Kerry Sclafani, Kristen Lynn Iannuzzelli, Lisa Turcotte, Michael Wolf,

Neha Kulkarni, Oxana Kovalchuk, Pam Malone, Roxa Smith, Songer Yang

In keeping with our love of music, this show is dedicated to The Beatles, that English rock band from Liverpool formed in 1960 thought to be the most influential band in Western popular music and integral to the 1960s counterculture. John, Paul, George, and Ringo, the Fab Four, were a band for less than a decade—however, they forever changed music, and we are all the better for it. We love so many of their songs and dedicate “Home is Where the Heart Is” to their album “Let It Be” and specifically the song “Two of Us” which Paul wrote about the travel adventures he had with his then-girlfriend, Linda Eastman, before they were married.

Drawing Rooms Solo

Project Space: Julian Schaevitz: Life on Mars

“Life on Mars” follows a boy and a red coyote wandering a dreamlike desert,

a story sparked in the vibrant streets of Coyoacán. In it, Julian explores themes of identity, connection, and survival through the intertwined journey of Marco, a solitary traveler, and Mars, a wild red coyote. The series examines the formation of self-hood through mutual recognition.

Abstraction in the Alcove Gallery: 5 Solo Bodies of Works

together, they deepen one another, inviting viewers into a space where presence and absence, silence and speech, mourning and renewal coexist.

Amy Kupferberg: Includes works from her Monad series exploring markmaking to create works on paper using traditional sculpture-making tools and methodology.

Stephanie DeManuelle’s semi-abstract River Life paintings have their origins in nature, shapes found in roots, driftwood or shells.

Guillermo Bublik: Ink Drawings “This year I have been obsessed with the spectacle of ink flowing on any given surface.

John Patterson: Control Suite (7) These works on paper “frame this question
