Robert Carter

Visual Arts: Painting, Visual Arts

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, Teacher/Instructor, Visual Arts, 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.

I have also taught private lessons to kids and adults. As an Audubon summer camp counselor, I have been able to share my love of nature and art, and I have enjoyed working with the children’s programs at the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum, as well as teaching Drawing and Painting to kids at Truro’s Center for the Arts, Castle Hill. Work is often done on commission but please visit Coastal Craft Gallery in Orleans, to see present work, as I am a proud member of this co-operative group of local Cape Cod Artists, and also on The Printmakers of Cape Cod site.

Rebecca Gmucs

Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Painting, Printmaking, Visual Arts

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!

Portraits and figures by Diana Lee: Since her art school days back in the 1970s Diana has been painting and drawing the portrait and figure. Of all the subject matter that Diana has done over the years the Portrait and Figure have been where her true passion lies and where her heart is. It is within these portraits and figures that Diana strives to express the individual light, essence, energy and presence of each person. Observing works done by Picasso and Matisse seen in art books and while visiting the art museums opened up a new world beyond the traditional approach to the portrait and figure for Diana. These artists are Diana’s Muses and continue to be an inspiration in her painting. While as an art student , one of Diana’s first jobs, was as a portrait caricature artist for Legal Seafoods, in Cambridge. There, she would sketch the patrons waiting to be seated in the dining room. When hired the owner of the restaurant had told her that he had interviewed over 200 artists for the job before meeting and watching Diana sketch! While raising her family Diana has worked for extra cash as a portrait artist in the Falmouth Mall during the holiday season and occasionally at company parties throughout the year. 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. Diana is a local Falmouth artist and teacher. Over the years, she has exhibited in many galleries and art shows on the Cape and has taught painting for many years, as well. She has received numerous awards and has been published in Cape Cod Life magazine several times. Diana graduated in 1978 from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston, MA. studying painting and sculpture.

Her mission is to create paintings that are uplifting, both for the viewer and for herself. To that end, she often uses bright, bold colors or soft pastels. Her painting is more about flow than form. In the end, her paintings are an invitation to dream!

Karen Pinard

Teacher/Instructor; Visual Arts: Painting, Printmaking, Teacher/Instructor, Visual Arts, 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, Visual Arts, 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: Dance, Performing Arts, Printmaking, Visual Arts, Vocal

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.

Susan Stewart is a Contemporary American artist living on Cape Cod. She was a professional dancer with the Joffrey Ballet in New York City and danced as a soloist from 1977 to 1983. In 1985 she and her husband moved to France where she began her studies in Contemporary Fine Art at the "Ecole Supérieure d'Art Annecy" in Annecy, France. This led to a career in mural & sign painting which she discontinued in order to concentrate on Fine Art. Susan lived in France for thirty years and has just recently moved back to Cape Cod, where she spent her childhood summers. Susan paints with oil, ink and acrylic and also works in sculpture. In her paintings Susan expresses her most poignant memories. She works at creating a harmony between color, movement and shape, often with a reference to music, society and nature. In her patches of color Susan adapts nature and changes it to convey a certain mood. Ms. Stewarts work asks us to reflect upon the complexities of the human existence in society and nature along with the joy it can instil in us. She refers to her style as a "Figurative Expressionist". Susans work is based upon "old" memories that she rearranges to create "new" memories. Through painting and sculpture she revisits a particular person or poignant moment in her life and expands upon it. Often times she is inspired by her own photos which she changes to suit a new vision. Her work integrates a meticulous study of art history through dance, literature, music and painting. She is inspired by such artists as Munch, Matisse, Van Gogh, Jasper Johns, Raushenberg, Niki St Phalle , Peter Doig and David Hockney Ms. Stewart has sold much of her work over the internet through her personal site. She recently was in a show at the Cape Cod Museum in Dennis, Massachusetts.
