Lisa Anderson-BissonLocation # - Western Avenue Studios, 122 Western Avenue, #5-1Painting, Portrait Photography, Sculpture, Murals I see my most recent body of work as Pretty Pictures for Transcursion. They are idyllic landscapes and serene seascapes. Water, and the land that holds it is celebrated in every one of these paintings. Water, a most essential life force too often taken for granted, squandered, pilfered. Water the inspiration, from Dracut to Cape Cod and the Florida Everglades. |

William E. BerryLocation # - Western Avenue Studios, 122 Western Avenue, #4-6Plein Air Oils Combining Realism-Impressionism I try to paint the romantic and dra matic low-key lighting of the late afternoon. On location, most of the important considerations are established; like composition, focal-point, color and contrasts of tones. The Impressionists seem to be the most painterly, capturing light and atmosphere with lively, fluid brushstrokes. Less is more is the process I need to focus on with my work. |

Patrick PierceLocation # - 57 market stAuthentic Contemporary Sculpture and Painting The work of art is a sustained integrative act by which being, insight, passion, skill, and chance manifest in maps of encounters be they sculpture, paintings, music, poems, dance, or flower arrangements. When expression proceeds from inner realization, each act bears the imprint of truth; it matters not whether the expression is a work of "art." Art itself is invisible, the imaginative force by which works of art, works of being unfold. |
 |
Joe QuinlanLocation # - Western Avenue Studios, 122 Western Avenue, #5-1Black & White Fine Art Photography I use black and white photography to preserve images of urban and rural landmarks from a bygone era, before they vanish from our landscape.

I record these images by walking the streets with my TLR camera, and many times happening upon sights I recall in my mind's eye as a child. |

 |
Laura SapellyLocation # - Western Avenue Studios, 122 Western Avenue, #4-1Abstract Sculpture and Works On Paper Suggestive of shrouds or hovering boundaries, the work is rooted in feelings of anxiety when confronting the unknown. Minimal in color, abstract in form, inspired by the relationship between emotion and natural phenomena, the sculptures create ethereal spaces, shadows, lines, and textures. Layering an array of fibers combining sheer and thick areas causes their unpredictable forms, revealing diverse materials and hues. |

Margot StageLocation # - Western Avenue Studios, 122 Western Avenue, #5-12Evocative Art Quilts Five or six years ago I had never heard the term “art quilt”.

Ashlee Welz SmithLocation # - Western Avenue Studios, 122 Western Avenue, #5-20Figurative Oil Painting I paint people. My work centers around friends and family; acquaintances that can easily be extracted from photographs, visually dissected, and their personalities reassembled with a little bit of imagination and some oil paint. I envision being able to one day pack a room full of my portraits and sit back while I listen to them talk to each other. I wonder what their voices would sound like, what they would say, and what that says about me ... |

Rebekah WetmoreLocation # - Western Avenue Studios, 122 Western Avenue, #5-2Oil Paintings I present images of ordinary people, objects, and places.

I pray each portrait brings the viewer as much peace and serenity as I received during their creation. |

Jean WinslowLocation # - Studio II, 256 Market StreetOriginal Oils, Monoprints & Collages In my multi-media work a rich cross-fertilization occurs that generates rich images and themes to be explored in different ways. Organic shapes and the human figure emerge intutitively through the interplay of color, light, texture and design. The thematic direction I'm leaning towards is an integration of emotional, spiritual and social consciousness. |

Christine WirthLocation # - Western Avenue Studios, 122 Western Avenue, #4-25Representational Drawing and Painting, Landscapes, Interiors Making a painting is an affirmation of what it is to be human. It involves struggle and commitment, and engages the capacities for desire, imagination, choice, attention, and love. For me, it is a way to explore my place within the world, and to observe and describe the way light and form offer me beauty and hope, consolation and possibility. |

It is the "wise woman" who can make an art out of doing all of this with a sense of humor and a dash of whimsy. If she can do this while keeping everyone else happy and be happy herself, then she's figured out "the magic dance"! |
