Gina Candelori

Nov 14, 2025
As an artist I am constantly observing, learning, and trying new things. I have things to say that words alone cannot express. While I am happy to engage the viewer’s intellect, I am trying to touch them on an emotional level. If the viewer misses my intended message but, finds their own story instead I […]

Sherrie Norton

Nov 14, 2025
I love finding beauty in the details of the world around us—whether it’s the weathered charm of a New England workboat, the intricate patterns of a seashell, or the timeless lines of historic architecture. Using watercolors, pen & ink, and graphite, I bring these subjects to life with a focus on realism, light and a […]

Susan Baker Cartledge

Dec 2, 2024
Having viewed many faces over the years as a nurse, I have honed my observation skills of the subtle nuances of humans and their multiple expressions. I now enjoy capturing these expressions with paint. I feel that each subject (animals included) has an inherent dignity and individual personality which I delight in rendering. Of particular […]

Charles Armentano

Dec 2, 2024
A freelance graphic designer by profession, I decided to focus my attention to fine art a few years ago. My recent acrylic paintings lately exhibit bold colors with simple subjects in unusual settings. The process usually starts with photographs I have taken and then combining them in Photoshop to form the composition. Once that is […]

Cassie Silber Ancona

Dec 2, 2024
I draw inspiration from my deep love of animals and the natural world. My work is primarily representational with subtle abstract influences, reflecting both observation and imagination. Each composition begins as a loose sketch—an impression of an idea that evolves organically as I develop form, detail, and color. Color is central to my process. I’m […]

Patricia Martin

Oct 26, 2021
As a painter, I search for the essence within each subject—the quiet spirit that stirs beneath the surface—and work to give that presence a voice on the canvas. In every piece, I offer my own interpretation while leaving room for viewers to step in, wander, and shape their own meaning. Every moment we encounter is […]

Cally Curtis

What inspires me? Quite simply, it’s the people and places I’ve known in my life through living and travelling in various parts of our world. These many vivid experiences continuously influence and shape my work. Design. Quiet moments. Folklore. The art of other cultures. Nature itself. Perspective. Colors. Atmosphere. The play of light. The folds […]

Jane Eckenrode

Apr 13, 2020
From my studio uphill from the Haw River, my work conveys immersion in nature as journal observations, paintings, and sculptures. As a child I collected rocks, shells, and animal bones on walks in the woods or on the beach. I still have that cigar box of natural treasures, along with the feeling of wonder for […]
