As the summer months come to a close, so does Ship to Shore in the Upper Gallery at the Copley Society of Art. This show has proven successful over its 6-week duration, impressing visitors to the gallery and being featured in magazines such as the Improper Bostonian and Artscope. The 36 featured works show the […]
The works on display in the Upper Gallery embody a similar theme, Ship to Shore. Whether it is a nautical still life, a seascape, a salt-water marsh scene, or a summertime landscape, they embody the same motifs through various mediums, colors, sizes and the textures. Gary Davis, Doron Putka, and Don Dalton all thrive within […]
When looking for a place to relax and cool off in the summer months, Ship to Shore at the Copley Society of Art provides visitors with an aesthetic vacation. Stepping into the Upper Gallery, as Molly Hamill puts it in her review of the show in Artscope, will “evoke a distinct and welcome sense of […]

Baldessari promised that he would never make any more boring art again, a promise that was […]
The opportunity to spend time in one of my favorite locations in New England was an unexpected gift. To be up at dawn many mornings (without an alarm) to witness the early morning beauty of a sunrise over the bay was simply amazing. With no time constraints, nowhere to be but wherever I wanted to […]

My residency fellowship was a gift to me creatively. What stood out was the time to think, paint, reflect and meet other creatives in the community. I attended life model sketching at the Provincetown museum 1-2 times a week. As a result, I met wonderful artists that I continue to communicate with. Having a month […]
