JIM HOLLAND: NEW PAINTINGS
“A beached catboat or light slanting on clapboards and through windows, these are simple forms I find endlessly fascinating in how different light affects the mood.” Jim Holland

VICKI ESSIG: JOURNALS ON NATURE

KATIE TRINKLE LEGGE: ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
“My choice of still life subject matter varies from personal objects to objects I find visually striking because of color or shape.

PETER BATCHELDER: CAPE COLOR
“From an artist’s perspective, I am interested in the nature of the architecture; how it sits within its landscape, color and light. From a personal perspective, I find myself often curious about the story of the building: who built it and why.... I find that the curiosity I have about the building intertwines with the creative process in my interpretation of the architecture and landscape in one image.” Peter Batchelder

DEBORAH HOWARD: IN TIME
“With each painting I strive to capture and convey a sense of an experience. My goal being, to communicate a feeling of this certain time and place to the viewer. I do this through the use of color, layers and brushstroke. I record into a sketchbook thoughts, images and colors which relate to specific situations. It is these sketchbooks, as well as my memories, that are the starting point of each piece.” Deborah Howard

SUSAN ANTHONY: RECONSTRUCTED
"I love the colors of the Cape-- the blues of sky and sea mirroring each other, the warm gold of a fall salt marsh, the purple branches of a winter meadow." -Susan Anthony

GREGORY KAMMERER: FAR AFIELD
"My studio is divided by a wall—one side is where I paint; the other is a workshop. Increasingly, it feels like the wall between the two spaces needn’t be there. This collection speaks to the coupling of these two worlds. I am drawn to working on different surfaces: books, curved steel, antique windows, paper, weathered and cracked raised panels—along with cherry and birds’-eye maple. Each of these influences the direction an image will take before I even lay down any paint." - Gregory Kammerer

JOANNE WILLIAMS
THE ELEMENTS: EARTH, WATER, FIRE, AIR
“My involved process to create the highly textured surfaces that I desire is one where I ultimately balance the spontaneity of sanding, scraping, pouring, glazing, laying gold leaf , spraying , marking with various mediums and tools with the careful focused editing and attention to detail and composition.” -Joanne Williams

ELLEN GRANTER: FLOATING
“For me, the point of painting them is not to create a souvenir image of a place, or an accurate illustration, but rather to try to capture the subject’s barest essence in a sparely composed way, using a lush palette and rich textures.” Ellen Granter

GRACEANN WARN: ODYSSEYS
"My pieces are painted, drawn and constructed using paper, wax and, sometimes found objects. I like to use images from architecture, science and archaeology in my work. My formal education in landscape architecture and classical archaeology provides structure to artistic flights of fancy that always seem to revolve around some form of revelation or mystery." -Graceann Warn

ED CHESNOVITCH: 'ROUND HERE
"The sky's ability to influence emotions...its hold on the land and everything it hovers over fascinates me. This spiritual connection and reverence to nature... and the wonder and beauty of the landscape forever inspire me." -Ed Chesnovitch

SUSAN BLOOD: HOW NOT TO DO THINGS
Like the boy who gets a box of manure for his birthday and is convinced there has to be a pony around somewhere, Susan Blood can shovel through it with the best of them. Her ferociously optimistic essays take us on a cathartic odyssey through life's bumps, from an infestation of mice and swimsuit disasters, to aging parents and her own funeral. Susan writes of her desire to see a version of Dwell Magazine where the interior photos are taken without notice. These are those photos—full of wit, despair, resolve, insight, clarity, terror, and a couchful of laundry.
