Steven Branfman |
|
Steven Branfman enjoys an international reputation as a potter, writer, teacher, and businessman. Steven is a popular workshop presenter having done over 100 presentations of his pottery forming, decorating, and firing techniques in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
My work comes from a tradition of functional vessels. I see the surface of my pots as a skin that expresses what lies beneath. The inspiration for my surfaces come from my observation of the visual images and tactile objects around me: Rock faces, landscapes, tree bark, raw earth; the colors of sand, sky, oceans, sunsets; the patina of copper; lava rocks, worn concrete sidewalks, the green mold that grows on shingles and fence posts; grass, moss, coral and more.

Bernard Carver |
|
Paris, France
One of the original Parisian bouquinistes (expert in old books), Carver discovers another way to express his love and appreciation of the City of Lights through his paintings. A piece of Paris can always be found in his paintings. Inspired largely by Great Masters Cezanne and Van Gogh, his use of vivid and deep colors give you a sense being right in the heart of the French capital. His work has been exhibited at the Salon du Louvre, le Grand Palais and numerous exhibitions worldwide.

Amy Casher |
|
My work is inspired by textures and forms found in nature, but it is always one or two steps removed from the actual object it represents. I love the interplay of nature's reality and artist's imagination, and of precise craft and and spontaneous creativity. My work is bold, feminine and fun to wear.

Raphael Jaimes-Branger |
|
A graduate of Ecole Des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Raphael Jaimes-Branger works in a technique of his own creation. Inspired by
Jean-Dominique Ingres, Jaimes-Branger sought to find a technique that was as humble and simple as a piece of graphite on paper.
He achieved this by using acid on silver leaf, where the image is created by the oxidation of the metal and not paint. Jaimes-Branger has shown in Boston, France, Spain, Venezuela and Cuba. Some of his work hangs in “El Museo de Los Angeles” in Segovia, Spain, and the A. Salke collection. He also teaches at Massart. He was chosen one of the 30 artists of the year by Beaux-Arts Review 2004.In 2009 he was curator’s choice at the MFA’s annual summer auction. Member of the Copley Society and the SOWA artists guild he lives and works in Boston.

Antoine Giroux |
|
Paris, France
After a successful career as an opera singer, Antoine Giroux found his real voice through painting. Largely inspired by the impressionist and fauvist movements, such as Vlaminck and Derain, his canvases are bursting with bright colors of the Mediterranean. Just as the impressionists, Giroux is not afraid to apply color in large and confident strokes that result in beautify dynamic paintings. His sunny landscapes are full of positive emotions and often portray the sea, dunes and his pine trees. His work has been exhibited at the Salon du Louvre and numerous galleries in Europe.

Original handknits in luxury and novelty yarns
As an almost life long knitter, I have come to view the fibers as a pallet. Mixing fine natural fibers with novelty yarns allows for great color, drape and either warmth or breathability.I have done fashion knitting for two shops on Newbury St. in Boston, MA and for numerous shops on the South Shore of Massachusetts and on Cape Cod.I have space at Gallery 302 in Bridgton, Maine and my work is also available at Spruce Hurricane, North Conway, New Hampshire. Most of my work is for private clients. I have a limited line of children's hats, sweaters and vests. Life in beautiful Sebago, Maine provides me with color inspiration on a daily basis, and good reason to stay inside and knit on a seasonal basis!

B. Glee Lucas |
|
The subjects of my work may be family artifacts or a transitory view from a traveler’s window. Each painting is created with an intense focus on the subject matter that invites the viewer to share the richness and dimensions of a composition constructed by many small elements of captured light and reflection.

Judith Solomon |
|
My paintings tease the viewer’s vision with a hint of what is out of sight. By focusing in and cropping, I lose the bigger picture to discover another dimension. But always I am reaching for a richness, mood and ambiguity that will engage, and an energy and beauty to sustain it.

Charyl Weissbach |
|
Through the use of abstraction, Charyl Weissbach’s encaustic paintings attempt to convey nature’s patterns, rhythms, and expansiveness. The use of pigmented wax, with its vivid color and translucent properties, is uniquely able to depict nature’s vastness and mysterious allure, a significant theme in her compositions.

Louise Weinberg |
|
Louise Weinberg’s work addresses the issue of containment– the very basic human desire for the safety of enclosure and structure vs. the terror of possible entrapment. In her Apparitions Series, she has used symbolic containers -grids, cubes and buildings. In other series, the containers –bowls, bottles, jugs are more literal. Whether the images are literal or symbolic- they all suggest that containers can protect, imprison or do both.

Beverly Woods |

Beverly Woods extensive world travels are the source of the inspiration for her large and diverse body of work.
