Artist: Kate Fontaine Medium: Painting - Acrylic Venue: Mt.Tom's Homemade Ice Cream Address: 34 Cottage St Event: I have been painting on a variety of materials in acrylic paint since I was twelve years old, including rocks and canvas.

Artist: Marcia Reed Medium: Painting - Mixed Mediums Venue: Valley Art Supplies Address: 76 Cottage St Event: In my earliest recollections I have always wanted to paint. I saw myself as a painter foremost to anything else. This sounds so clichè. I have read other artists statements and many say the same thing. As I reached a landmark birthday in 2005, I realized my aspirations are still the same as they were when I was young. My painting has lead me into many directions, and journeys, and it has enriched my life. The challenge I find in my own landscape painting is learning to see and interpret my own feelings and profound appreciation for nature. I constantly struggle to transcend the material and go beyond the painted surface image. It is important that my landscapes in oils and watercolors convey a sense of place. Nature is my influence but then it becomes something more. I don't want my work to capture the exactness of nature or my brush marks to be predictable. I have been told for years that I have an unnatural landscape palette. Color is important to me, but I also am intrigued by the absence of color as in my nocturnal moonscapes. I want to embrace a mood for the piece, and challenge the viewer to look deeper. In the process of painting on location or in my studio I strive for the balance of when to intervene and when to leave well enough alone.

Although Aric has traveled as far east as Japan, as far north as Iceland, and across the United States in his trusty Ford, his connection to his roots is evident in all the poetry and fervor of his songwriting.

Artist: Jennifer Gutterman Almeida Medium: Photography Venue: Marketplace at Eastworks Address: 116 Pleasant Street, 1st Floor Event: These works represent the past three years of taking as many pictures as possible when the opportunities arose. As an artist I have expressed my inner eye in a variety of media - Oils, Watercolors, Ink, Pencil, clay, animation, 3D modeling, wood, graphic design, etc. Many of these photos were taken with the intention of using them as photo references for large scale Oil paintings. The evolved into so much more and became expression in their own right. Then the reference photos became snapshots of interesting things - then a compulsion to capture the dynamic and the interesting. Color and black & white, all digital images and all digitally processed and printed. From Key West to Mystic, CT, from New Orleans to New York City, from Hadley to Ft. Myers, these photos are only this step in the journey that is always evolving. And that is why I enjoyed it so much. Purchase Contact: Jen jgutterman@gmail.com

Artist: Randall Bessette Medium: Painting Venue: Marketplace at Eastworks Address: 116 Pleasant Street, 1st Floor Event: In my Quantiference work, I use an emotion that I cannot understand or handle, and using a visual language of pseudo-math and symbols, create something beautiful that can perhaps give me insight into the original feeling. I do not expect people to look at my work and understand what I am feeling. I rely on my artistic skills to create something that is visually appealing and compelling to the point where understanding the meaning is secondary. The art becomes an independent object of the emotions behind it. My pleasure in creating these pieces comes from working with that tension between maintaining the imagery and creating a work that is pleasing or exciting to anyone who sees it.

Realism is the map into MacTavish's painting, a voyage of abstract delights and lively surface textures.

The changing weather and light encourages a spontaneous and fresh approach to the work. Observing nature directly builds a deep understanding of the visual world." "I also love to paint in the studio. Often I will develop a painting done outdoors into a larger work done in the studio. I'll scan paintings completed outdoors and photographs into my computer, make adjustments and paint from the monitor. I can change the values, colors and shapes to be more like how I remember them, or how I wish them to be." "Doug's (Manhan Cafe) coffee has had a significant influence in the energy found in some of my paintings. If I didn't have a cup of his coffee in one hand, I would most likely paint with both hands." Painting full time in New England (spring, summer & fall) and the Southwest (winter), Michael shares a home and studio in both areas with his wife, Denise.

Artist: Hannah Richards Medium: Painting Venue: Pioneer Arts Center of Easthampton Address: 41 Union St Event: Hannah Richards received her B.A. in Studio Art: Printmaking from Smith College, where she also completed a Kahn Institute Post-baccalaureate fellowship; an interdisciplinary exploration of Form and Function. These prints are carborundum collagraphs, an intaglio printmaking technique that involves building up the surface of a metal plate, rather than incising it, to produce an image. This process results in a deep embossing of the paper's surface, printed on an Intaglio press. Because of the delicacy of the plates, this method yields a monoprint, rather than an edition, as many intaglio methods produce. These prints explore the visual texture and abstract beauty of microscopic forms and organic materials, emphasizing the relationships between forms in nature, which seem to echo at all levels of scale. This body of work deals with the fluidity and interface between two- and three-dimensional textures, as evident in the surface of these prints. Hannah also works as a birth doula, and finds that each of these two fields often enrich her experience of the other. She lives in Northampton with her husband, Max and daughter, Sina.

Artist: Beth Kaplowitt Medium: Photography Venue: Marketplace at Eastworks Address: 116 Pleasant Street, 1st Floor Event: I've just returned to Western Massachusetts after spending three years living on the Big Island of Hawai'i. The island offers vast barren fields of black lava and dripping tropical rainforests, fiery molten lava flows and rolling green hills, majestic snow-capped mountains and sandy beaches. Huge hapu'u ferns share space in the green jungle with twisted ohia trees, while endangered green sea turtles rest on white or black sand beaches. My photographs try to capture the amazing contrasts of this stunningly beautiful place in the world, often from unusual perspectives. Purchase Contact: Beth bkaplowitt@gmail.com
