“A Couple of Visions” featuring works by Stacy Miller and Scott Seaboldt at the NRCA Rotunda Gallery
A COUPLE OF VISIONS: Stacy Miller & Scott Seaboldt: A Quarter-Century of Artists Together will open at the NRCA Rotunda Gallery on February 11th, with an Opening Reception that evenign from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. The show will be on exhibit through March 27th. The NRCA Rotunda Gallery is located at New Rochelle’s City Hall, 515 North Avenue in New Rochelle.
This exhibition celebrates the extraordinary artistic achievements of Stacy Miller and Scott Seaboldt — and also a 25-year partnership rooted in love, dialogue, and shared creative commitment.
United in love, yet distinct in vision, Miller and Seaboldt exemplify how two artists can evolve side by side without converging into sameness. Their approaches to painting differ in sensibility, process, and expression, offering viewers a rich and dynamic conversation across canvases—one that is heightened by the knowledge that these works emerged from a shared studio and a shared life. For a quarter century, that studio has been a place of both independence and exchange, where ideas are tested, challenged, and refined in quiet proximity. Beyond their individual practices, Miller and Seaboldt have been pillars of the arts community in New Rochelle, New York, and in Manhattan, contributing generously as teachers, mentors, organizers, and advocates for creative life in the city. Their influence extends well beyond their own work, helping to shape an environment in which artists and audiences alike can thrive.
This exhibition honors the rare balance they have achieved: two fully realized artistic voices, resonant and self-assured, strengthened rather than diluted by partnership. This exhibition is a testament to enduring commitment—between two people, to a place, and to the transformative power of art sustained over time.
The exhibition is being curated by artist, curator and FASNY visual arts instructor Erika Hibbert. A New Rochelle resident, Erika’s art has been exhibited and acquired worldwide.
