About the Gallery //
Haven Gallery is run by Erica Berkowitz and Joseph Weinreb. The gallery first opened in 2015 in the Carriage House of historic Northport, NY. Within two years, the gallery doubled in size and expanded into the entire Carriage House building. Through their successful in-house exhibitions and presentations at art fairs both domestic and international, Haven opened a secondary location at 90 Main St., in 2020, during the height of the Covid pandemic.
It was at that point, that Erica and Joseph knew it was time to find a permanent location for their artists. In January of 2022, they bought the building at 50 Main st., and opened its doors as Haven Gallery’s perennial home.
Haven Gallery’s focus is on exhibiting emotionally, intellectually and imaginatively driven, representational artwork that connects the audience and artist with universal axioms and passions. We work with both emerging and established artists who transcend their medium and subjects by exploring the world around them as well as the one within themselves.
Adam Oehlers, Compendium
Haven Gallery is honored to present England based artist Adam Oehlers for sixth solo show at the gallery entitled “Compendium”. “Compendium” features thirteen watercolor paintings illustrating stories from the forest, or the wilderlands, a moniker Oehlers uses to describe this realm, that make up the larger world in his ongoing universe.
Highly inspired by his own writings, along with various folklore, nature and the artists of the Golden Age of Illustration, Oehlers’ work calls attention to both the tiniest and largest beings. Each character, whether human, deity, or animal of land or sky, share their story with the viewer through the artists delicate watercolor work and magical finesse of storytelling.

Ronald Companoca, Maker of Dreams
Ronald Companoca was born in Arequipa, Peru in 1981. He graduated from the School of Arts at the National University of San Agustín in Arequipa in 2002. He has won several awards in painting competitions and has exhibited his artwork in Europe and Central America. The tendency of his art is magical realism with a surrealist bent.
The most frequent theme in his works is playful with harlequins, conjurers, magicians, circus acts and mysterious characters in dark environments and with an important presence of animals. The artwork of this Peruvian painter is also characterized by his chiaroscuro technique, like Rembrandt, with a limited range of color that invites the viewer to contemplate and immerse themselves in the world created by the artist.

He graduated in 2006 with a BFA in Illustration from Uarts, Philadelphia PA, while there he won awards for his representation of the Human Figure, outstanding achievement in illustration, and for demonstrating inherent sincerity, intensity, and dedication to illustration. Dangler illustrated the children’s books: “Faeryland” (from Abrams Publishing 2013) written by John Matthews and “The Secret History of Mermaids” (from Templar Publishing 2009) written by Professor Ari Berk.
