Kathleen Sidwell Contemporary Fine Art
"Delve into the world of The Studio's resident artist, Kathleen Sidwell. "Art is a reflection of the inner world made manifest in the outer. It is powerful in its ability to change our view of the world. It is beauty for the sake of beauty, and dreamlike in its ability to change our state of mind. It evokes a transformation when it takes us from our preconceived theories into a suspended moment of conciousness, when we newly see the miracle of phenomena around us. I seek to engage the viewer and transport them newly into their own perception, to look anew at the world around them and see it clearly for the first time, as if with new eyes."

Visiting Artists

The Millstone Sculture Gallery: Benton Jones
"By placing environmental issues centrally in my sculpture, I hope to build awareness and help to stem our corrosive tide through collective action."

The Work of Sally Vince
"My challenge as an artist is that the viewer leaves with an insight into the human spirit of not only the painted but also the painter...the viewer should feel an intimacy with us both."

Courtney Giovinazzi Fine Art
"I approach all of my artwork though color and light, no matter what the piece is conveying. Every painting emerges from the perspective and relationship of the colors before evolving into its final form. I strive to light a painting through color, using color to light my objects from within."

The Sophisticated Whimsy of Theresa LaBreque
"When I create, I feel privileged and chosen. As I apply the many fine and delicate details with which I adorn my work, I am at my happiest. I am, in my mind, "dressing" the figures through my fingertips. Each little petal, leaf, or butterfly brings me a piece of joy, a joy that I gladly share with my collectors."

Mary Doering Multimedia Photography
"I am an unconventional photographer who mixes other media into my process to create highly stylized work that blurs the boundaries between photography and other visual mediums. While photography is often the main component in my work, the image may be sanded or obscured with paint before it is combined with my original paintings and drawings. These elements are assembled together where they are tailored for color, content and design. I work intuitively, preferring surprise, as I layer a multitude of images, textures and shapes."

Roe Osborn Photography
"My photography blends a unique set of skills and experience. Fifteen years in the trades gives me a knowledge of construction that is reflected in my photos. My work as a sculptor brings an artist’s eye to composing and capturing images."

Rob & Tracey Logan
"I love making art and creating exciting and fun art zones...clubs, bars, museums, websites, treehouses, boats...You name it...I am always looking for new opportunities to have fun and be creative..."

A New York Eye
People watching is infinitely fascinating. For the last twelve years, Karyn Kloumann has consistently kept a sketchbook of people she's seen on the subway and around NYC. Part anthropology, part whimsy, it’s inspired by the endlessly variable story-telling potential of strangers. The subway is the perfect place to watch people: it is functional, mobile, perpetually variable, and time-sensitive. People are in transition on the subway, in a momentary stasis before they re-enter their lives to dash off to work, lovers, dinner, appointments, family… and this allows for an ideal environment to draw a quick sketch and jot down a few notes. Her drawings are ultimately a kind of love letter to New York City, which is dynamic and exciting solely because of the vast spectacle of humanity that inhabits it. she hopes to create a shared experience of recognition, empathy, and enjoyment with depictions of people whom she sees everyday.

The Cotuit Center for the Arts
In 1994 he founded Cotuit Center for the Arts, an artist’s work and exhibit space, offering workshops in various 2- and 3- dimensional art media, writing, photography, and computer graphics. In 1995 he was invited to sit on the board of DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) Boston chapter, and to direct and curate their 2 galleries at the Boston Design Center. In 1995, he closed the James Wolf Gallery and established a formal exhibit space at the art center. Cotuit Center for the Arts, which became a non-profit corporation in 1995, continues to be a primary art focus, where he is now the Senior Artistic Director. In August, 2010 James joined forces with artists Jackie Reeves and Richard Neal to create a new painting studio at the Old Schoolhouse in Barnstable Village. This vibrant, new setting is where he creates all of his new abstract and figurative work.

Leslie Kramer

Master Printer

Brandon Graving Art
Brandon Graving: "I am intrigued by the way pigment can be suspended in layers of paper through the use of extreme pressure from the press. The three-dimensionality of the print is actual: the various plates and objects leave behind an impression embossed in the paper, and the press forces the different viscosity of ink through the paper, from hugging deep into the paper fibers to resting on the surface...
