<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The Rocky Neck Art Colony announces this season’s sixth<i> Summer Artists Series</i> exhibition, </span><i style="font-family: Helvetica;">Connections Through Nature,</i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> featuring pastels by Michele Kenna. This final show of the gallery’s 2014 season opens Wednesday, September 24th and runs to Friday, October 12th. The public is invited to the opening reception on September 27 from 6 to 8 pm at the Rocky Neck Gallery Artist Collective, which takes place concurrently with the Rocky Neck Gallery’s fall “Color Party” celebration.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">“When I am in nature I feel connected to my source,” says Kenna. “Away from the noise and distra</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">ctions of daily life, I am able to lose myself while painting a landscape that inspires me.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">She strives to free herself from the “tyranny of the line” as her teacher and mentor, Frank Federico, once taught her. Spontaneity, strong strokes of color, gesture, and bold compositions are prevalent in her loosely articulated landscapes that capture the essence of the natural scene.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">“The ‘letting go of ego’ and portraying my feelings about the scene and the time of day are always a challenge but an exciting one,” remarked Kenna. “It is very satisfying when this resonates with the viewer.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">A transplanted Canadian, Kenna has lived in Massachusetts for over 30 years. Growing up in a family involved in art and theater, she pursued her own artistic aspirations by completing her degree in Fine Arts at the University of Toronto. After raising two children, Kenna continued to study with nationally known American artists who taught and mentored her in the pastel medium, her primary influences being Frank Federico, PSA 2012 Hall of Fame Honoree, and internationally renowned painter, Wolf Kahn. Kenna has also studied with well-known North Shore painters, such as Betty Lou Schlemm, Charles Movalli, Marilyn Swift and many more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Classes at the Montserrat College of Art in Beverly have inspired Kenna to reach out beyond traditional boundaries and to challenge herself to more abstract ways of expression. With a studio at the Porter Mill Studios in Beverly, Kenna continues to develop her unique style of landscape painting. She has exhibited her work in numerous galleries and art associations in the Boston area and the North Shore.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Michel Kenna is a member of the Rocky Neck Art Colony, North Shore Arts Association, Cambridge Art Association, Concord Art Association, Marblehead Arts Association, Danvers Art Association, Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod and The French Library, Boston MA.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Jeweler Trish Nadeau Conant, is the fifth artist selected this year for the Rocky Neck Art Colony’s <i>Summer Artist Series</i>. Her exhibition “Texture Speaks” replicates the natural world in metal through the process of precious metal clay (PMC). Conant’s new exhibit opens Thursday, September 4th, at Rocky Neck Gallery, 53 Rocky Neck Ave., and runs until September 23rd. Meet the artist and hear about her process this Saturday, 9/6, at a reception from 6 to 8 PM. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">When using PMC as a vehicle, stories evolve from the seen and unseen patterns of handcrafted texture tapestries that create a personal connection between the creator and the wearer. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">“Sometimes the connection I have as an artist is exactly the same as the wearer and other times it is completely different,” says Conant, “but the connection is made which sparks conversation. Jewelry is personal and I’m inspired by the connections I make with people. My jewelry is universal as it speaks to mothers, daughters, granddaughters, fathers, sons, and good friends and I find that extremely gratifying.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Conant draws her inspiration from the natural world. A walk in the woods may spark a new design with a found fern. Color could inspire the patina of her finished pieces. Iridescent blue, purple, crimson red, orange, and gold created with acid and heat patinas mimic the rising sun or a moonlit walk.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">She molds twigs, birds, sea urchins, and gingko leaves, then carves and sculpts them to form organic yet elegant pieces of jewelry. She rivets leaf skeletons between metal discs that are protected by sheets of mica. She also recreates natural scenes using handcrafted texture sheets, created with polymer clay and paper, to produce realistic etchings onto the metal clay. Using a cycle of friction and heat, she burnishes black and white artwork onto Polymer Clay. The Polymer Clay sticks to the ink on the paper and the paper is cured in an oven resulting in a low relief design. These polymer clay sheets are rolled directly onto the metal clay or onto polymer clay, which is later set in a bezel or riveted in a frame. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Her reversible pendants and earrings depict a different image, pattern or scene on each side. She infuses pure 24 karat gold onto pure silver in a perfect marriage of metals. Conant’s focus is on uncomplicated designs, finding beauty in simple shapes and organic textures without compromising purity of form. Assimilation of skill and a true love of process are reflected in each piece of wearable art.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Trish Conant is a special education teacher with a passion for creating. She has been making jewelry for over 15 years and began using PMC in 2004 when she purchased her first kiln. From the moment the clay touched her hands she was hooked. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">She began replicating her abundant collection of washed up shells and incorporating her stash of sea glass into the designs. In 2006 Conant took her first class with Celie Fago where she learned how to create her own texture sheets and the ancient technique of <i>Keumboo</i>. She continued to further her jewelry education over the years and has taken workshops with Tim McCreight, Pauline Warg, Linda Kay-Moses and Holly Gage. What she loves most about PMC is that it can be textured in so many different ways. She loves collecting things; twigs, flowers, grass, ferns, shells, pods etc. and turning them into molds or rolling them directly into the clay. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">PMC is also a very green material with little waste. It is made from reclaimed silver and every little sanded morsel can be reconstituted with water. Because it is a pure metal, it will adhere perfectly to the gold foil. </span></div>

She also participates in several art fairs in the summer and fall.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The Rocky Neck Gallery (RNG) is pleased to welcome Robert L. Williams as the fifth artist selected for this year’s “Summer Artist Series”. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Williams’ new show, <i>Celebrating Gloucester’s Heritage,</i> opens Wednesday, August 13th and runs for three weeks until September 2nd. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">A relative newcomer to Cape Ann, Williams paints in the style of <i>Regional American Impressionism</i>, as seen in the work of nineteenth century New England painters, specifically those of Cape Ann. The paintings selected for this show celebrate the heritage and tradition of the Gloucester fishing industry. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Please join us and meet the artist on Saturday, August 16, at our gallery's reception from 6 to 8 </span><span style="font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: 0px;">PM</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">As a young man, Williams studied drawing and painting with Florence Collins, a former student of Daniel Garber, and Hugh Henry Breckenridge of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He majored in illustration and fine art at Philadelphia College of Art. At the age of 21, Williams was selected as one of a few to serve as an artist in U.S. Marine Corps Combat Art program in Vietnam. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In 1972, Williams studied in Florence, Italy, working among a circle of artists, including Benjamin Long IV, apprentice to Pietro Annigoni, master fresco painter. In the following years, Williams restored church interiors that included commissions for original paintings in and around Philadelphia.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In addition, Williams established Motion Graphics, designing and painting hundreds of commercial and residential murals. This led to his involvement in a number of career development programs, where he taught and worked with high school students to create community murals.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">His recent move to Rockport inspired Williams to capture the extraordinary beauty and richness of Cape Ann in the great tradition of American Impressionism.</span></div>

Traditional silver gelatin photographer, David Piemonte, is the
fourth artist selected for Rocky Neck Gallery’s <i>Summer Artists
Series 2014</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His solo exhibition, “Flower Power”,
examines the intrinsic energy found within flowers that he strives to capture by
photographing these in total darkness with medium format black & white
film. This dynamic new show opens Wednesday, July 23 and runs until August 12th. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">An artist reception is</span> this Friday, July 25 from 6 - 8 PM at the Rocky
Neck Gallery, 53 Rocky Neck Ave., Gloucester. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Please join us - everyone is welcome to this festive event!</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="main">
<br />
David’s deep reverence for detail is immediately evident in his
photographs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Photography for me is all about the moment, as is life itself”,</i>
says David.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’ve always been fascinated by what the camera captures as opposed to
what the eye sees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the same time, I
feel my purpose as a photographer is to create images that sometimes ask more
questions than they answer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s the
subtleties that create the mood of an image.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="main">
<br /></div>
<div class="main">
David draws much of his inspiration from the simplicity of nature
as a symbolic statement of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
this inspiration that allows him to create landscapes that are timeless and
surreal. His elegant floral images have a mysterious beauty all their own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As he explains it, <i>“My floral images are ones
of solitude and isolation. So often we think of flowers within the context of
abundance and color. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps my floral
images will allow the viewer to see them from a more intimate perspective.”</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="main">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="main">
After attending New England School of Photography in Boston,
David traveled through Europe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The six
months he spent there proved to be a pivotal time in his artistic career,
particularly during his visit to Venice, where he discovered the beauty and
solitude of night photography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>“It
was there, in the late hours of the night, camera and tripod in hand, that I
had that floating city all to myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
continue my search for nocturnal landscapes to this day . . . or night,” </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">said David.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="main">
<br /></div>
<div class="main">
David has lived on Cape Ann since 1980 and exhibiting his work in
numerous venues over the years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even
with the advent of digital photography, David still prefers working with traditional
medium format film and silver gelatin paper processed in a wet darkroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As he explains it, <i>“I print everything by
hand using archival processes for image permanence that I’ve refined over the
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the process of actually
making the image can sometimes be as rewarding as the end result.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Rocky Neck Gallery (RNG) is featuring local artist Laureen Adrienne Maher in the next <i>Summer Artist Series</i> opening this Wednesday, July 2nd until July 22nd.

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">"Building" is a collection of old and dilapidated Gloucester buildings that Maher has painted over the last ten years. “<i>What I love most about art is perspective</i>”, says Maher. “<i>When starting a painting, I try to surprise people with the not-so-popular view of the subject to offer a fresh new take. In every beautiful vista or building I find what I think is horrifyingly delightful. From there, I like to stage the ugly in a new light, like a ‘makeover’ … with the prettiest colors mixed from oil paints</i>.”</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">An East Gloucester resident, Maher recently exhibited with the newly formed Magnolia Historical Society and had a solo show at Gloucester’s Sawyer Free Library called, “<i>Birdseye View</i>.” Prior to that she was a portrait artist who painted many of Gloucester’s local rock stars.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This new show, titled <i>Serendipity</i>, will feature their abstract mixed media prints. The public is invited to the opening reception on Saturday, June 14, from 6 to 8 pm. Matt and Ruth will give a brief talk about the serendipitous process of merging multiple images creating one-of-a-kind abstractions.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Matt and Ruth relocated to Rockport from Dayton, Ohio one year ago and already the couple has made a noticeable impact on Cape Ann’s artistic community. They have both exhibited work in two shows this year at the Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) Cultural Center Gallery: <i>Here & Now,</i> a juried member’s show and <i>Pixel Revolution, </i>a curated digital painting exhibition. This July, they will be in another RNAC Cultural Center Gallery exhibit: <i>A Fine Line, </i>juried by Al Minor, the assistant curator of contemporary art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Matt and Ruth are both members of seARTS, where Matt was recently elected vice president. Last fall, Ruth became a juried member of the Rockport Art Association photography division. Matt is also exhibiting in the <i>Art in the Barn</i> show this coming weekend at Essex County Greenbelt and both are showing work at the Gloucester Stage Company in August.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When asked how they managed to make such an artistic impact, Ruth replied “Blame it on my husband—he got us both involved in the Dayton, Ohio art scene after he left his sales position at LexisNexis three years ago. After moving here, he jumped right into the arts scene, volunteering and submitting [work] to the various galleries. It has been a heck of a ride! We’re thankful that the local art venues have accepted our work.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Ruth’s interest in photography began during college in the 70's, when she was majoring in art and design. She had a darkroom for 15 years, and did freelance work for various magazines and publications. Portraiture and landscapes were her main focus and she worked mostly in black and white, utilizing the "Zone System", which was formulated by Ansel Adams..</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">While raising two children, she barely used the camera except to document their family life. With the advent of digital cameras, she took it up again, mostly for recording travel adventures. It wasn't until two years ago, that she discovered the ability to “play around” with her images, using free software on her computer. Since then she has been merging her photographs with old, unfinished paintings. She goes through her photo files choosing which images would work with either a painting or texture (which she photographs separately) or another photograph. “It has been a real learning experience, and great fun to see the surprising results,” says Ruth.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Matt’s work is primarily focused on a combination of abstract photography and digital mixed media images that he creates on his iPad and his camera. He often merges multiple images, using a palette of digital tools. “It typically takes many trial and error combinations to build the foundation of an image that I like. Dead ends, where nothing good comes after much effort, are not uncommon. On the other hand, knowing when to stop ‘improving,’ when a compelling image is achieved is a constant challenge as well,” says Matt.</span></div>

Rocky Neck Gallery is pleased to announce the next <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Summer Artists Series</i> show: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Family Trees,</i> featuring the mixed media assemblages
of Stephen Thomas Martin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the
last exhibit in this series for the gallery’s 2013 season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the first time Rocky Neck Gallery is
exhibiting the fascinating and mysterious assemblages by Martin of Amesbury,
MA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This new show opens Wednesday,
September 25 and runs until Sunday, October 13, 2013.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Martin’s art is both literally and figuratively about
reclamation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the literal
incorporates found objects to form the “ground” of the pieces, of more
importance, is the figurative element. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
search for unique “found objects” he uses in his pieces is a big part of his creative
process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In many of his works he incorporates
old photos of individuals he discovers at antique shops and flea markets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As Martin states, “<i>Using these photographs I am giving
new life to people long forgotten by family, friends and society. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have not only been reclaimed but are
indeed reclaiming a place in the existing world, not to be forgotten again</i>.”</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Martin is a self-taught artist now working full time to
meet the demand for his assemblages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Prior to this new career, he owned and operated an antique and retail
furniture business for twenty years in Newburyport, MA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Martin is the founder and owner of Gallery
206, a pop-up experimental gallery in Amesbury, MA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is also represented by Galatea Gallery in
Boston, MA and is a juried member of the Cambridge Art Association, of
Cambridge, MA and Newburyport Art Association in Newburyport, MA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His award winning work is juried into many
prestigious shows along with residing in several private art collections
throughout the USA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The corporate
collections that currently own his assemblages are Growth Coach Management
Consultants, Kodiac Venture Partners, and the Italian movie production company,
Blue Suede Shoots.</div>

Cape Ann artists Julia Garrison and Mary Rhinelander explore the virtuosity
of the linoleum block print with a focus on Cape Ann in a show they call
Pattern-scapes. Building on the art form and tradition of Cape Ann's Folly Cove
Designers, both women are creating work on fabric and framed work to be hung on
the wall made specfically for this show. Their single and multiple color block
prints feature patterns and landscapes in various shapes and sizes. They will
also display tools and some of the blocks themselves, so visitors get a sense of
what is involved in the often meticulous craft of carving. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sarah-elizabeth-shop.com/">Julia Garrison</a> has a background in textile design with a degree from
Massachusetts College of Art. Julia has kept the art and sensibility of the
Folly Cove Designers alive by continuing to operate the Sarah Elizabeth Shop in
Rockport, MA. Started in 1974 by Sarah Elizabeth, who joined the Folly Cove
Designers in 1942, the shop acquired its 150-year old Acorn press from Eino
Natti, another Folly Cove Designer, who used it to print his linoleum blocks and
for printing demonstrations at the Folly Cove Designers barn until they
disbanded in 1969. When Sarah Elizabeth retired in 2002 she left her shop in the
hands of Isabel Natti, Eino's neice. Julia Garrison now prints her own work on
the historic Acorn Press along with the designs of Isabel Natti and Sarah
Elizabeth Holloran (1917-2009).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.maryrhinelander.com/">Mary Rhinelander</a> comes to lino-cut via traditional printmaking training and
an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and a BA in Visual
and Environmental Studies from Harvard College in Cambridge. She has exhibited
in several solo shows in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and Cambridge MA. Her most
recent exhibition in July 2013 was a contemporary art installation called
Collection/Reflection at the Cape Ann Museum's White Elery House in
Gloucester.<br />
