Doug AmEnde

Artist’s Statement – Camille Pisarro, the great impressionist, once said “blessed are those who see beauty in humble places, where others see nothing”. I think this speaks to what I believe is one of the most important traits a person must have to be an artist…the ability to see; to observe what others often miss; to […]

David K. Anderson

Biography Realist artist, David K. Anderson, grew up in southern New England and spent much time as a child at the beach. He now resides in Providence, Rhode Island, close to the ocean, from where he draws his inspiration. The sand, the grass, the dunes and ever changing sky and sea provide Dave with a […]

Mary Jane Andreozzi

Artist Statement My work is inspired by the grace, strength and beauty of the natural world. I search for a sense of balance and harmony that brings order to natural elements. I am interested in expressing an inner energy that leans toward symbolism and abstraction. I am currently the Art Department Chairperson at Bay View […]

Marc Civitarese

My paintings, though based in the landscape tradition, are cerebral and visceral explorations of the relationship of “man” and “nature”, and thus depart from a pure realist depiction of the world and move towards a more expressive sensibility.  By abstracting what I consider to be the elements of realism: shape, form, and light, my work […]

Scott Conary

She has received numerous awards, notably a residency & exhibition at the de Young Museum & a Pollock Krasner Award. Transparency, form, and flowing line, the play […]

Mark Freedman

Artist Statement The urban environment possesses a unique ability to capture and hold light. There is a story in every image that I’ve rendered no matter how minor or cryptic. The beauty of our cities is sometimes obvious, but many more times, ironic. Love? Hate? For me, yes. I love to paint cities. I love […]

Ethan French

Artist Biography My work combines patience and action, the action of stopping to look carefully, the patience of describing why. I was born the son of two teachers in Greenwich, Ct. Among the most resonant lessons was the joy of creating from “scratch.” In cooking, in building, in art, there is always more enjoyment to […]
