Tunnel City Coffee welcomes spring with surreal art and rural photography

New art can be found this spring at Tunnel City Coffee’s flagship shop in Williamstown, MA, with work by Vermont photographer Seline Skoug and landscape paintings by Marilyn Cavallari. The show runs until the end of June 2018 and combines bright, surreal paintings with color-rich rural photography. 

Seline Skoug displays her photographs taken around the world and in her own home of southern Vermont at Tunnel City Coffee through June 2018. 

Diversity in style is the goal for Tunnel City Coffee’s art shows, which aim to give skilled local artists the chance to display their work in alternative venues where people gather every day. This season’s show reflects on different ways of looking at the environments in which we find ourselves every day, as interpreted by Skoug’s evocative photography and Cavallari’s surreal landscapes that play with memories of familiar scenes. 

Both artists create a space of serene calm for onlookers hoping to enjoy a peaceful break with a mug of coffee or tea at Tunnel City’s 100 Spring St. shop. “I use true colors that are bright and happy,” says Cavallari. “What I do see is happiness in the deepest sense and share it with all who have an interest.” 

Skoug’s landscape photography similarly awakens deep nostalgia, recalling quiet moments of discovering our relationship with the world. 

Marilyn Cavallari's paintings celebrate color and lyrical landscapes from fall in New England to afternoons in India. 

Skoug’s photography and Cavallari’s landscapes are on display and available for purchase at Tunnel City Coffee’s flagship shop in downtown Williamstown until the end of June 2018. For more information about art at Tunnel City Coffee, please contact Sydney Lester at sydneylester@tunnelcitycoffee.com.
