New Exhibition at The Living Room - Dual Perspectives: A Mother - Daughter Art Reception
Featuring Suzanne Scripps & Annelise Scripps LaFlamme
Beginning August 1, The Living Room at Full Circle welcomes a new exhibition featuring the work of mother and daughter artists Suzanne Scripps and Annelise Scripps LaFlamme.
Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, August 1, from 4:00–6:00 PM, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet both artists, enjoy light refreshments, and experience the exhibition together in the warm, intimate setting of The Living Room.
Though their artistic voices are distinctly their own, Suzanne and Annelise’s work is connected through a shared curiosity about perception, transformation, and the ways we make meaning from the world around us.
Presented within The Living Room—a space created for conversation, creativity, and shared experience—this exhibition invites visitors not only to view the work, but to linger, reflect, and engage with the ideas it explores.
The exhibition will remain on view through November 30, 2026.
All artwork will be available for purchase. Proceeds directly support the artists while also helping sustain the community programming and gathering spaces of Full Circle Commons.
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 1, 2026 | 4:00–6:00 PM
Where: The Living Room at Full Circle | 297 Bruynswick Road, Gardiner, NY
How: Free and open to all.
Annelise Scripps LaFlamme
Annelise is a New Mexican artist who graduated from The Rhode Island School of Design in 2017 with BFA in Painting, where she made large, expressionistic oil and acrylic paintings. She creates her work intuitively, and draws inspiration from the materials, music, recurring images and symbols from her life, and opposing forces like humor and horror, micro and macro, and chaos and order.
After graduating, she was an artist in residency at Burren College of Art, in Ireland, where she created a black and white ink series; these pieces illustrate figures as constellations of microorganisms, and as small parts of larger ones. She then moved to NYC and showed her work in studio tours and various galleries in Brooklyn and Queens for a few years until returning to NM.
Suzanne Scripps was raised in New York City and earned a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1989. She has been living and working as an artist in Santa Fe, New Mexico since 1994.
Artist Statement
We are living in a time when the question of what is real and what is not is quickly becoming harder to answer, where the viewer is now also the viewed, the consumer of content is also being consumed by that content. Will images, disembodied from their makers, without historical context or attribution, hold the same meaning? In the paradigm shift that is currently being wrought by AI, what does it mean to be an artist? I have allowed the surreal creepiness of ‘AI slop’ to infect the subject matter of these still lifes in subtle and not-so-subtle ways while still using traditional hand-applied media. This is my attempt to document this moment and play with these questions, Suzanne Scripps
