My style combines the beauty of naturalistic representation with the expressive elements of abstraction. Often times a single painting may transition between the realms of representation and abstraction. I like this style, Semi-abstract Expressionism, because it gives me the freedom to add emotions, feelings and ideas to what I see. I express these with meaningful lines, forms and colors. I use bold strokes, dabbles and scribbles to represent the emotional activities of the psyche. My paintings of nature contain much symbolism, with water-lilies symbolizing beauty, fish representing abundance, and horses (destination series) for our struggle to achieve conscious or unconscious goals.

Paul’s contemporary paintings begin with fresh ideas about space and place. What you see is a moment, often revealing a relationship between neighboring houses, a road and the landscape, the sky and the sea or a window and the world it views. Sometimes inanimate elements of his paintings feel human and endearing. Paul has been featured in ARTSCOPE Magazine and his work can be found in homes and businesses from Los Angeles to Germany.

Charyl Weissbach works in encaustic, creating pattern and arboreal-based paintings incorporating a variety of techniques and materials, including gilding with metal leaf, metallic powdered pigments, and resin.She creates customized stencils with the use of Indonesian Tjap batiking tools, to produce patterned effects.Charyl received a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art with a concentration in painting and art history. She has exhibited her paintings in several locations both locally and nationally. Private collectors throughout the United States have purchased her encaustic paintings.

My goal as an oil painter is to freely use color and shape to create abstract paintings that I transform into imaginary landscapes. Some of my paintings seem more recognizable, and some less so, but they’re always expressions of my emotional attachment to my surroundings. Even though my compositions have incomplete information, they still convey a sense of place. The place will be different for each viewer based on their own interpretation of the painting.

A former landscape designer, antique dealer and house restorer, Mimi Reilly’s hands-on experience building stone walls and laying brick paths allowed her to graduate to interior demolition in her mother’s rehab business. While tearing down a wall she found fragments of an 18th Century mural on the horsehair plaster underneath layers of wallpaper – a discovery that continues to inspire her as she sands and scrapes down her oil paintings to shadows of the original surfaces. Mimi’s paintings are often described as “serene, deep and colorful” but Reilly describes them as lushly minimalistic and intended to reinvigorate the mind and spirit.

A 1978 graduate of the Radcliffe Graduate Seminars Program in Landscape and Environmental Design she has studied at MASSART and the Museum School in addition to studio classes painting with artists in Boston and Cape Cod. She has exhibited at the Boston Anthenaeum, Provincetown Art Museum, Castle Hill Encaustics Juried Show in Truro and was selected to present at The Anthony Quinn Art Foundation Benefit Auction in Bristol, R.I. in 2009. Mimi was inducted into the National Association of Women Artists in N.Y. in 2010.

I am a contemporary painter, interested in interpreting subject and emotion in an abstract and intuitive way. I am interested and excited by the process, by daring paint application, by color, texture and the element of discovery.

Skye Kismyth Schulte has been an artist for almost 30 years, working in most art mediums from painting and sculpture, to photography and metal work, and even food and dance. Her work can be seen in homes, businesses, and galleries around the country.

Skye grew up in northern Wisconsin surrounded by hobby and professional artists of all types, which helped to shape her early love of and exposure to all things artistic and theatrical. Her early experience in art and aesthetic was also profoundly affected by growing up near ancient Native America burial grounds and the Japanese botanical gardens started by her family.

In addition to her artistic pursuits, Skye has always had a strong interest in science and technology, as well as environmental justice and human rights and she works as a strategy and communications consultant for innovative non-profits and other healthcare companies. Skye is also the advisory board chair for the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship—a non-profit focused on addressing health disparities by developing leaders in service. Her volunteer work and travels around the world for both work and pleasure (including trips to the Middle East, Europe, and South America) have had a significant impact on her artistic eye and world view.

Skye’s approach to artistic expression—be it painting, photography, or sculpture—is to transport herself to an emotion or place and to use color, texture, and movement to then capture that essence to share with the viewer. Visitors are, in fact, encouraged to touch and smell and experience many of her works in a multisensory way—a style she calls “Sensualism.” Her goal with this style is to make art more accessible and participatory so others can find their own inner artist and have a more intimate connection to the objects they put into their spaces.

Skye currently lives in Boston with her husband and two hairless dogs. Her permanent art studio is located in the South End at 450 Harrison Avenue (Studio 216) where she shows her newest work each first Friday of the month as part of the SoWA Artists Guild. She is also available during the open studio weekends, the art walks, special shows, and conducts private viewings by appointment. www.skyeschulte.com
