Cynthia Loewen, a realist, paints her subjects in minute detail. She will be exhibiting paintings of her interpretation of John’s photos among other acrylics and watercolors.
Mary Milne is a glass artist whose extraordinary multilayered fusion glass has to be seen to be appreciated. Phyllis Chillingworth’s free spirit and love of life shine through in her bold, bright, beautiful watercolors of Montauk.
Deborah Anderson’s creativity blooms in her framed botanicals. Its nature framed forever. And Anahi DeCanio is a new and exciting artist to the area. She’ll be showing abstract, multimedia paintings of soft and gentle application. Her work is so appealing one wants to be a part of them.
