James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal–then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”

Dominic Killiany
Dominic Killiany, who is autistic, has difficulty communicating verbally, but he has been able to express himself in his paintings. Works of art created by the 24-year-old Watertown resident are now on display at LabCentral in Cambridge’s Kendall Square, and a public reception will be held on Jan. 25. His mother Susan Cicconi explained about Killiany’s artistic approach in the artist statement for the exhibit: “Dominic’s art is his passion. He is autistic, his art is his visual poetry and connection to the world.

Sharon Whitham’s
“Rainbow Arch” will be on display at the Mosesian Center of the Arts. The following information was provided by the Mosesian Center for the Arts:
Mosesian Center for the Arts is very excited to welcome Newton Art Association for our winter exhibition. Both organizations, Newton Arts and Mosesian Arts, have partnered in the past and this time member artists of Newton Art Association as well as non-members have submitted work exploring creativity, inclusion, and unity. The work in the upcoming exhibit is inspired by Maya Angelou’s wise words: “All great artists draw from the same resource: the human heart, which tells us that we are more alike than we are unalike.”
Using those words, artists have examined ideas that range from personal heartbreaks and joys to more universal concepts of inclusivity, cooperation, unity, and creativity. In Sharon Whitham’s monotype “Rainbow Arch,” the artist uses stone imagery to represent diversity, strength, balance, and history.
