LYNDONVILLE — On one wall of the Satellite Gallery on the corner of Church and Depot streets are a series of Gameboard Symmetries, hand-painted linoleum block prints that at first glance may be mistaken for quilt squares, but are actually inspired by vintage game boards such as Parcheesi, and created by the late Lyndon Institute art teacher Ellen Dorn Levitt.
She was the art teacher at LI for 16 years, until her death in 2014, the year she planned to retire.
