Getting outside is good for the soul, especially in these days of Covid-19. Through my artwork, I try to bring the outside in, capturing the quiet beauty of the landscapes and seascapes all around me. My paintings are recordings of the moments where I’ve spent in each of these places, and I want to rekindle those memories. The best compliment of my work is when someone tells me that my painting made them smile and remember a special time of their own.

Having grown up coming to Rye Beach most weekends and summers, where my grandmother lived, I took its beauty for granted until I moved to Ohio and remained landlocked for 18 years. I appreciate the ocean now as never before and expression through visual art has become for me an enchanting stroll through the woods at twilight, calm and serene with a delicious morsel of apprehension which wrenches me from my comfort zone to new heights of self-discovery.

Debbie Mueller
www.debbiemuellerart.com
A love affair with light and shadow, with the path of color as it describes not just an object’s
identity but its illumination, pushes my brush. I find the same joy in painting a sunlit building,
with its shadowed nooks and crannies, as I do painting an egg, sitting in a white bowl, waiting to
be scrambled, with its fractured shell catching light. In each of these, I seek to find an
experience that I have had, or might have had, that will evoke nostalgia. A yearning for the
simplicity of a cut orange, a white building illuminated by the setting sun, the diagonal cut of
purple shadow cleaving against the glow of brick in sunlight gives rise to my subjects. I want my
viewers to experience their own relationship with the subjects of my paintings, and
infrequently put other figures in as then the painting becomes about their relationship with
place.

Maria’s artistic inspirations come from the world that surrounds her. She paints a wide variety of subjects - landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. She loves painting au plein air and does it year round. “When you paint outside, you are surrounded by smells, sounds, and ever changing light. You are challenged - everything is calling for your attention.”

Christopher Volpe

I paint from imagination, photograph references, and from life, the latter of which enables me to absorb sensations and visual vocabularies based on experience that later in the studio I can draw on with greater freedom of conception and expression. Most of my paintings comprise a combination of painting knife and brush work.

Todd Bonita

I love painting coastal New England imagery outdoors in plein air, equally as much as crafting more involved compositions in my studio. Above all, I love the process and simple joy of being with my tools and painting.
