Robert Carter

Visual Arts: Painting

Robert Carter is a representational painter in oil and oil pastel in the American Impressionist tradition. His art primarily consists of landscapes and seascapes, based on scenes from Cape Cod and throughout New England. His approach to oil painting was developed from extensive self study and under the tutelage of Copley Master Artist William Maloney, O.P.A., whom he considers his principal artistic mentor. He has also studied with the late Don Stone, N.A., Stapleton Kearns, and other prominent working artists. For his oil paintings, Bob uses a limited palette composed of the primary colors (red, blue, yellow), orange (a convenience color), and white. He uses no tube purples or greens, preferring to mix these from primaries. His only earth pigment is yellow ochre. As with Monet and his followers, Bob uses no black, and colors are usually laid down with minimal mixing. Brush stroke assumes equal importance with composition, value, and color in rendering the visual and emotional content of the image. Bob is careful to use only those materials and practices that will result in works of maximum longevity. For example, he only uses the most light-fast pigments on primed linen, which he usually stretches or mounts on board himself. Most works are executed alla prima (in one session) to retain spontaneity and to produce the strongest possible paint film. Paintings may be created on site (en plein air), from reference photographs, or from memory. For his oil pastel paintings, Bob uses the highest quality artist’s pastels, originally developed by the French firm Sennelier at the request of Pablo Picasso. Like his oil pigments, these are completely light-fast. Works in this medium are executed on heavy-weight sanded paper and framed under non-reflecting museum glass.

Abby Fay Smith

Teacher/Instructor; Visual Arts: Graphic Arts, Mixed Media, Murals, Painting, Printmaking, Works on Paper

My artworks are about the passing of time; I try to capture a fleeting moment, a meditation, a memory, a place, a person. My inspiration comes from a wide variety of places. Recently, my work has been reflective of my experience as a woman; A global citizen, female artist, mother and wife. My artwork often references a wide variety of historical and contemporary art ranging from scroll paintings to street art to the work of the Abstract Expressionists. My marks are at times delicate and smooth and at others dark and aggressive. These works represent a physical response to my changing environment. The subjects are worked into the panel or paper and they evolve into something more than just merely representational. I received my M.Ed in Visual Arts from Lesley University and a B.S. in Art Education with a concentration in painting from Rhode Island College. I also attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC for fashion design and the Studio Art Centers International in Florence, Italy at where I studied painting and Renaissance art history. I recently finished two artist residencies through the Art Institute of Boston at L.U. in printmaking (Boston) and works on paper(Bar Harbor, ME). My studio, shared with a community of 14 other artists, is located in CHALKBOARD Studio in Barnstable Village, Cape Cod, USA which can be visited by appointment.

Rebecca Gmucs

Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Painting, Printmaking

Artist’s Statement I love to paint, although sometimes I grumpily approach it sideways, cleaning the studio, prepping canvases, not yet ready to commit my soul to an empty space. I get restless, switch from one loved style to another – people, sunsets. I love to look so much that I will never paint a fraction of what I see and then think: this is beautiful, what a great painting it would make! I love to make things, use my hands. Paint is a thing, three-dimensional. I love the tools, the physicality, and color. Color is like music or a dance with no limitations on variation. I always try to strip my image/painting to it’s essence, to just paint what is important. I want the viewer to connect on an emotional level. I want my painting to speak. To say: this is what I have to give – This moment of joy or bliss or tension or strength. This is it now. Look!

She did sketches mostly of children in pastels and charcoal. In 2018 Diana joined the Friday Figure group, at the Falmouth Art Center. She sketched and painted the portrait with a small group of artists for several years until the Center was closed down due to the Coronavirus. In December, Diana joined Paul Schulenburg’s an online Portrait and Figure Group where she has been able to continue to paint and also post on the group website work done in the studio.

Karen Pinard

Teacher/Instructor; Visual Arts: Painting, Printmaking, Works on Paper

My studio/gallery is located at 870 Main Street, Osterville in The Red Barn- 'Studio off Main, thru the Garden Gate' with a side garden courtyard entrance. I enjoy working with fine paper using acrylic, watercolor, or creating monotypes. On an abstract journey, my work would be described as impressionistic, or expressionist using flora, fauna and landscape as my inspiration. Moving forward and experimenting with new materials and combinations is ingrained in me - and I try to challenge my watercolor students to be open and expand to new ideas. Teaching watercolor is my passion....and am fortunate to be a part of the Cape Cod Center and Sandwich Art Alliance faculty. My goal us to inspire and encourage those taking my classes/workshops to enjoy the process and creativity....not for a product to be judged, but the pure joy of creating and self-expression. I teach the fundamentals of watercolor - methods, materials, tools, techniques - which is especially integral to success with the medium.

Georgene Riedl

Visual Arts: Painting, Works on Paper

Artist's Statement I am self-taught and explore each time I paint. I approach a blank canvas as if I were traveling: What is here? What will I find? I love the search and discovery of the lyrical soul in a painting as it develops. I get lost in the motion of colors as they splash on a white space. For many years I wrote poetry and listened for the rhythm of words and lines. Now I paint and look for the rhythm of lines and colors. My paintings start in reality but finish in the imagination. This is the joy of painting for me: colors, lines and shapes arising from the blankness of a canvas, transporting me, as music for my eyes. In recent years Georgene Riedl has exhibited in numerous juried and non-juried shows on Cape Cod including the Provincetown Art Association Museum ( PAAM), The Cape Cod Museum of Art, The Cultural Center of Cape Cod, Highfield Hall and Gardens, Cotuit Center for the Arts, Castle Hill at Truro, Wellfleet Library, Outer Cape Health Services, Wellfleet Blossoms and participated in a three-women show ,"New Scapes", at the Snow Library, Orleans, in 2013. She is currently represented by Cross Rip Gallery, Harwich Port. AWARDS include: 1st prize in "eyeVisions" juried exhibit at the Orleans Council on Aging (COA) in 2012 and 1st prize at the Margaret F. Dole juried exhibit at the Snow Library, Orleans in 2013, Michael Giaquinto, Curator of Exhibits at the Cape Cod Museum of Art (CCMOA), juror.

K. E. Sekararum

Performing Arts: Dance, Vocal; Visual Arts: Printmaking

K. E. Sekararum is a multi-media and performing artist whose work currently focuses on intaglio printmaking techniques. Elizabeth spent 20 years in Indonesia where she devoted herself to performing, preserving and promoting the traditional arts of East Java. In addition to managing the Mangun Dharma Art Centre, Elizabeth performed as a singer and dancer throughout the archipelago, on national television, and as the host and star of Elizabeth Nyindhen (Elizabeth Sings), a weekly regional television program that showcased traditional gamelan orchestral music. During her time in Indonesia, Elizabeth learned to embody the rituals, symbolic animism and mysticism that infuse so much of the Javanese performance aesthetic. Combining her passions for theatre, dance, music and the visual arts, and building on her performing arts career and extensive ethnographic research, Elizabeth earned a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Western Australia in 2014. In 2016, Elizabeth completed a Certificate in Green Printmaking at Zea Mays Printmaking. Her work is included in the Zea Mays 2017 flat files and archives. Elizabeth is also a member of the Boston Printmakers and the Printmakers of Cape Cod. Using the technique of copper plate intaglio, Elizabeth’s current work explores her Javanese experiences. No longer daily immersed in the life of a Javanese singer and dancer yet enriched by years of experience, Elizabeth’s work questions states of identity and embraces the distorted lens of the embodied outsider.
