The Lockwood Gallery Presents Its Final Show: “We Will Know More Tomorrow”

Lockwood Gallery, located at 747 Route 28 in Kingston, New York, presents its final show, We Will Know More Tomorrow, opening Saturday, January 31, from 5–8 PM. Yes, this is sadly the gallery’s last show, but an exciting one all the same. Curated by Woodstock artist Dorothea Marcus, the show features four acclaimed Hudson Valley painters, Anne Crowley, Dana Matthews, Eva Tenuto, and Dion Yannatos.

This exhibition promises an intimate and immersive experience as it explores themes of nature, memory, loss, and the subtle mysteries of life.

Anne Crowley’s Twinning Series reflects on duality and the presence of loved ones in nature. Dana Matthews’ works capture the land as a living, breathing entity, from the dramatic landscapes of Ukraine to the serene shores of Monhegan Island. Eva Tenuto returns to painting after personal loss, creating textured, layered works that invite contemplation and presence. Dion Yannatos offers meditative studies of landscapes and water, blending observation, memory, and the passage of time.

ANNE CROWLEY

The paintings by Anne Crowley are part of The Twinning Series.

“I lost my twin sister Ellen when we were nineteen. Now I see her reflected in the rhythms of the natural world.”

“In the last year, a shift in my perception transformed my practice, leading me to explore concepts of duality and doubling. I lost my twin sister Ellen when we were nineteen. Now I see her reflected in the rhythms of the natural world. While out for my walk on a calm day, inspiration came when I saw an exact likeness of the mountains reflected in the water. I was thinking of my identical twin and how comforting it was to see twinning in nature. This Doppelgänger effect became more obvious; there were doubles in the clouds, trees, water, and mountains, in all the forms and shapes in front of me. It has taken me twenty years to see and feel these connections, and this body of work explores these ideas, the presence of loved ones in nature.”

DANA MATTHEWS

The first series, Underground; Foreground, was created at the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Reports of people sheltering underground suggested the earth as a refuge and womb, even as it endured its own violence.”

“As images of bombed farmland and displaced civilians circulated, I became preoccupied with the land itself being treated as collateral rather than as a living member of the community. Reports of people sheltering underground suggested the earth as a refuge and womb, even as it endured its own violence. Influenced by Arkhip Kuindzhi’s Red Sunset, these paintings hold devastation and shelter simultaneously, insisting on land as subject rather than object, and on our profound entanglement with it.”

The second series by Matthews is Monhegan Island.

“Over the past decade, I have spent multiple summers on Monhegan Island, working in plein air as a practice of sustained attention and care. Painting directly within the landscape, I return to the same sites repeatedly, allowing weather, tide, and light to shape both process and perception. These works emerge through slowness, endurance, and embodied listening; treating the land not as scenery but as a living presence in constant dialogue. The paintings register time, relationship, and intimacy, offering the act of looking as a form of reciprocity.”

EVA TENUTO

Eva Tenuto is a multidisciplinary artist—painter, writer, and award-winning filmmaker and the co-founder and executive director of the Hudson Valley–based true-storytelling organization TMI Project. Her return to painting in 2024 marked a pivotal shift in her creative life following the loss of her wife, Julie Novak.

“We Will Know More Tomorrow is a phrase that shaped our lives during Julie’s treatment. It came to name a way of living inside uncertainty—making plans while knowing they may shift and learning how to stay present regardless of circumstance. It was repeated whenever clarity or relief remained out of reach. My return to painting marked a pivotal shift in my creative life after Julie died. My painting process is a mode of inquiry—listening, searching, and remaining present with what cannot be easily understood or resolved.

“We Will Know More Tomorrow is a phrase that shaped our lives during Julie’s treatment. It came to name a way of living inside uncertainty—making plans while knowing they may shift and learning how to stay present regardless of circumstance.”

That way of living continues after her death, along with an acute awareness of how thin the boundary is between this life and whatever comes next. My painting practice emerges from this space. Each work responds to what came before, listening for what might surface next. The process is not about resolution, but about remaining open—trusting that meaning unfolds through presence, and that, in time, we will know more tomorrow. Marcus chose this theme as the title for the entire exhibit.”

Dion Yannatos

Recent paintings and ink drawings by Yannatos are observations inspired by the beauty of raw nature, the shape of the land that sustains us. They are like sketches, slices of the broader panorama of the world.

“In a moment, the world can seem to be caught with a false sense of finality and purpose, yet the world is fluid in time. How do you reconcile this if you want to represent the truth of a moment in a single image?”

“In a moment, the world can seem to be caught with a false sense of finality and purpose, yet the world is fluid in time. How do you reconcile this if you want to represent the truth of a moment in a single image? This question of how observation, memory and continuity can be condensed into an image has been an ongoing source of exploration. A focus on moving water in the landscape has been a good opportunity to explore this in what could be called experiments in experience and form.”
