Carol Gray Still Life, Gardens and Waterscapes

Carol Gray Artist Statement

As a plein air oil painter, I work on location so that I can capture the quality of light and color that transforms the scene before me. My style is Impressionistic, and my subject matter includes gardens and landscapes as well as the bays and marshes of the Delmarva Peninsula and Pine Island, FL.

Carol Gray Bio

My interest in art began when I was sent by my high school to study painting at The Brooklyn Art Museum with Moses Soyer. After moving to the Wilmington area, I studied with Will Barnet at The Delaware Art Museum. I then taught painting and drawing at Cecil Community College.

I received my master's degree in Painting and Printmaking at the University of Delaware. Now I paint full time.

Sherry Brilliant Portraits of Forces

Sherry Brilliant "Portraits of Forces"

Sherry Brilliant Artist Statement

Portraits of Forces is an exhibit that celebrates our bonds and our differences. The collection attempts to capture the joy and beauty of humanity without filters. It invites life forces in with their full spectrum of color, weight, and influence. It is jubilation as protest. A full-throated appeal for the ways in which we belong to each other in a world that is screaming for hierarchy and exclusion.
