IN HONOR OF ITS 2015 SEASON’S “Year of  The Artist!” THEME, The NORTH SHORE ARTS ASSOCIATION INTRODUCES ITS “New Artist Members of 2015” EXHIBITION in The Gordon Grant Room, Thursday, June 4 – Saturday, June 27.   Combined Opening Reception with Juried Members Exhibit, Sunday, June 7th,  2 – 4 pm.  ALL ARE INVITED.  OPEN AND FREE TO THE PUBLIC.   (Note: For additional information on all sixteen new artists please see the NSAA’s Blog)

Come celebrate with us the fresh, exciting work of our sixteen new member painters, sculptors, and graphic artists among whom are:

Boston based watercolorist, Gary Tucker, who shares that he “feels the ‘art spirit’ when he is struggling, creating.”  Sensing a commonality with Turner, he finds “power through brushwork, and subtlety through transparency,”

Painter Katalin Spang of Burlington, MA, who works in oil and pastel, says “Painting for me is a spiritual experience.  It is a careful distillation of my interpretation, in a visual language, of the beauty I find around me,”

Mike Foley, a Gloucester stone sculptor, releases the beauty from local and internationally sourced granite who offers, “I find beauty in the gifts of the earth, as well as in the wisdom of mathematics.  My sculptures, in their small way, attempt to transform the fusion of these beauties into expressive forms, frozen in time, but warmed by each human hand which reaches out to touch them,”

Artist Cynthia Dunaway who moved to Cape Ann in 1986 to pursue her interest in painting and has, since then, been deeply committed to the development of her artistic expression through the use of charcoal and pencil in life drawing, and as a ‘plein air’ painter, and

Portraitist Dana Levin, also a still life and landscape artist, trained in the painting and drawing techniques of the Old Masters.  Her intense study of realism in oil painting has taken her to museums and art institutes throughout Europe, Russia and the USA.

All of our new members have trained and studied with master artists and at major art institutions in New England and around the world.  The NSAA invites you to share our excitement in welcoming these superb artists as our New Members of 2015!
