On Saturday.\, February 19 from 4:30 to 6:00 you are invited to a gathering of artists and friends with music by Sarah Burrill. Jonathan McPhillips\, Amy Sanders and Maryalice Eizenberg will have their works-in-progress on display and will be happy to answer any questions.\n\n\n\n“Cape Wellness Collaborative is delighted to have the support of the stunning Addison Art Gallery. Art is a component of some of the healing therapies we offer to the many people fighting cancer on the Cape & Islands. Art has the power to transform\, inspire\, and elevate. I encourage you to indulge in a few quiet moments spent at Addison Art Gallery. Perhaps you will select a piece that speaks to you\, for your home or for a friend\, and support the well-being of your community. What a way to show love!” —Abigail Field\, Executive Director\, Cape Wellness Collaborative\n\n\n\n\n“We are so grateful to Addison Art Gallery\, their collectors and so many businesses and individuals supporting our efforts to serve women with chronic health conditions. Financial donations\, volunteer hours and contributions to our food and personal care pantry — it all comes together to aid our friends and neighbors.” —Gwynne Guzzeau\, Executive Director\, Helping our Women\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this time of love\, connecting with the Addison Art Gallery is a great way to add beauty to your life while supporting the community. \n\n\n\n\nCape Wellness Collaborative\nApproximately 1\,400 people are diagnosed with cancer each year on Cape Cod. Many of them will seek integrative therapies to manage pain and nausea\, reduce anxiety and increase well-being during their illness. But most of these therapies – acupuncture\, massage\, energy work\, yoga\, nutritional counseling and more — are not covered by insurance. CWC connects people facing cancer directly with local practitioners who provide these therapies\, and we cover the cost.\n\n\nHelping Our Women educates\, empowers and supports women in the towns of Eastham\, Wellfleet\, Truro and Provincetown who are living with chronic\, disabling or life threatening health conditions. HOW maintains an open-door policy to provide education and referrals to all community members. Direct services include three key areas: Transportation to healthcare appointments; Financial Assistance for women who qualify; and COMPASS programs promoting wellness and social engagement.

Peace. Exploration. Creation. Connection. Life in a land of possibilities and gifts.\n\n  \nMarc will demonstrate painting on the gallery lawn during the artists’ reception from 4:00 to 6:00. (He will also hold open studio hours Friday\, September 10 from noon to 4:00 at 14 Bradford Street\, Provincetown.) \nShowing new work year round \nMarc Kundmann works in encaustic\, oil\, charcoal\, acrylic\, and cold wax allowing him to build and remove layers of color\, transparency\, and pigments\, and to use texture expressively. His hope is that the resulting layers create not only intriguing and beautiful surfaces\, but also give emotional life to the subjects and hint at the mystery inside. Kundmann studied and workshopped with fine artists connected to the long tradition of creating on Cape Cod including Robert Henry\, a student of Hans Hofmann\, and Fine Arts Work Center Fellows Jim Peters\, Bert Yarborough and Richard Baker. Through them he learned to explore materials\, freeing himself from the constraints of representing the real world and allowing him to work expressively\, responding to color and composition allowing the painting to evolve into its final form. \n  \nArtist’s statement \nBefore I embarked on my adventure in painting\, I asked an artist I respected for his thoughts on where to begin and how to approach a painting. His best advice: don’t try to paint a feeling or specific emotion. Just paint. The emotional quality will come through. Keeping this in mind\, I began to paint my surroundings\, the wild beaches of Truro in particular\, en plein aire. I studied and workshopped with fine artists connected to the long tradition of painting and art-making on the Cape including Robert Henry\, a student of Hans Hofmann’s\, and Fine Arts Work Center Fellows Jim Peters\, Bert Yarborough and Richard Baker. Through them I learned to explore materials\, free myself from the constraints of representing the real world and work in a more expressive way\, responding to color and composition and creating work from both intellect and emotion. I am also particularly influenced by the Bay Area Figurative Movement including painters David Park\, Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn.

Whether her subject is a glossy cluster of cherries\, the chipped paint of an antique\, or the colorful jumble of seashells on a beach\, her paintings capture the larger-than-life essence of everyday objects and scenes. Her playful\, whimsical approach to her subjects is balanced by a technical mastery of paint\, which combines to create detailed\, thoughtful\, and energetic compositions. SaraJane Doberstein was born in 1976 in Hamilton\, Ontario\, Canada\, and grew up in Owen Sound\, Ontario on beautiful Georgian Bay. Her interest in the arts began at an early age\, when she developed a passion for capturing the American coastline during family trips along the east coast. Since 2000\, after attending Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and Fanshawe College\, she has devoted herself to the life of a professional artist. SaraJane visits the United States as often as possible\, finding inspiration in the beauty of its coastal areas for her vivid paintings of seashells\, shore birds\, and crabs. SaraJane’s painting style ranges from traditional representational to contemporary realism\, and her work reflects a fascination with the natural world and its transformations. Whether her subject is a glossy cluster of cherries\, the chipped paint of an antique\, or the colorful jumble of seashells on a beach\, her paintings capture the larger-than-life essence of everyday objects and scenes. Her playful\, whimsical approach to her subjects is balanced by a technical mastery of paint\, which combines to create detailed\, thoughtful\, and energetic compositions. SaraJane is a Signature member of Oil Painters of America\, American Women Artists\, and the American Society of Marine Artists. Her work has been included and won awards in many prominent juried exhibitions across North America including the Grand Prize winner with the American Women Artists Rockwell Museum show\, Oil Painters of America\, American Women Artists and Salon International.

Bold paint strokes express figures within the sun and atmosphere of Cape Cod beaches and markets\, often within exciting abstractions. \n  \n“These paintings have been aptly described as ‘the middles of stories’ where the viewer might sense beginnings and ends from their own experience.” —Andrea Petitto \n \nAndrea Petitto was born in rural Massachusetts where\, in her youth\, she had to choose between art and science. Andrea’s father had been a sculptor and Andrea grew up making things with modeling clay. Instead of the usual children’s literature\, as a small child Andrea was fascinated by the images in large folio books of Rodin and Michelangelo sculptures. These influences can still be seen in the strong sense of solidity and form in her paintings. In 1990\, after a career as university professor and industry consultant\, she moved to art. A course in oil painting in 1997 was a life-changing event. Around the turn of the century Andrea devoted herself to the study of painting and became a full-time artist with a particular passion for the human figure. Her love of dogs and other animals lead her to include animals in her figurative work. Andrea taught art classes at Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua NY\, Cape Cod Art Association in Barnstable and Creative Arts Center\, Chatham. She has had solo shows in Canandaigua and at the Copley Society in Boston\, and has won many awards in Rochester\, NY\, Boston’s Copley Society\, and at many venues on Cape Cod. Artist’s Statement I have always made some kind of art. As a child\, I created things with clay\, and I have always made drawings of things that I like to look at or just imagine. Later in life I was introduced to oil painting and never looked back. The paint made my drawings come to life. Figural work is my passion because of the evocative nature of body language and form. A level of abstraction in the figure allows the viewer to experience the emotional impact in a universal way\, without concern for a specific identity. Brush or knife strokes are more important to me than representational detail. I like the tension between the sense of paint and surface on one hand and the illusion of form and depth on the other. I try to make my subject matter look like it’s been chiseled from stone and yet alive and breathing\, a contrast that I find beautiful and exciting.

Two accomplished oil painters\, working in different but beautifully complimentary styles\, offer their unique and inspired perspectives on the land and sea made with color and light. \n \n \nMeet the artists on Saturday\, August 21 Maryalice Eizenberg Demonstration 11 to 1; Sharon McGauley Demonstration 1 to 3; Artists’ Reception from 4 to 6. \n \n \nMaryalice Eizenberg is an award-winning artist\, raised surrounded by a family of musicians supportive of her interest in the visual arts. She has been drawing and painting all of her life. She completed coursework at the Worcester and Springfield Fine Arts museums\, earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree at Clark University\, and studied with painters John Cosby\, Donald Demers\, Kim English\, Daniel Keys\, Gregg Kreutz\, Joseph Paquet\, and Charles Sovek. Dramatic patterns of light and color are what attract her most to a subject. It is her emotional response to these elements that she strives to share with the viewer. \n \n \nEizenberg has been featured in Cape Cod Life and Chatham magazines and The Creative Spirit\, Art in Chatham’s Old Village. Her work also appears in Contemporary Cape Cod Artists: People and Places by Deborah Forman. \n \n \nShe teaches at the Creative Arts Center in Chatham\, and is a member of Oil Painters of America\, and Twenty One in Truro. Her work has been shown in museums on and off the Cape. Her work is held in private collections in the United States\, Europe and Japan. \n \n \nArtist’s Statement Realism that excites has a foundation in abstraction of design. A pattern of light that makes form\, saturates color and creates mood holds it together and tells a story. It is the story that is the bond between the artist and the audience. \n \n \nSharon McGauley\, an internationally collected artist\, has earned multiple grants (including the Ann McKee Fund\, several Art Reach Fellowships\, and a Rodel Foundation Fellowship) and a residency at the Espy Foundation in Washington State. She studied art at Connecticut College with Barkley Hendricks and Andrea Wollensak and continues to study and work with master painters. Sharon paints plein air and in her studio. She lives in Portland\, Maine and spends a lot of time in her family home on Cape Cod. \n \n \nHer work has shown in numerous solo and juried shows across the country\, and has been featured in a solo show at the Key West Custom House Museum. McGauley paintings can be found in prestigious collections in the US\, Canada\, Europe and Japan. \n \n \nArtist’s Statement Land and seascape paintings are\, for me\, about capturing a sense of place. The experience of solitude is the starting point; the sense of being alone and engulfed by the landscape is one I frequently seek out. I am especially drawn to places where the sea meets the sky in such a way that you can’t tell where one ends and the other begins. I seek out dramatic weather and lighting conditions. I love hazy days when the ocean melts into the sky\, watching a thick fog roll in\, snowstorms\, and experiencing the changes in light when a summer storm comes through. I am always searching for something different in the atmosphere that shifts and changes the mood of a place; it allows me to play with that feeling and recreate it as I paint or push it even further in the studio.

He will be on hand to chat from 10:30 to noon and from 4:30 to 6:00.\nThe city poses unique challenges as well as an array of opportunities for an artist. There is so much brick\, cement\, and pavement. Then something will jump out\, grabbing an observant person’s attention.\n“Just as a trip to the beach can be refreshing\, going from a rural area to the city can jolt the system and make you see the world through fresh eyes. Sometimes I will see things I have never seen before\, things that go unnoticed by hordes of people walking by every day.

Addison is the creator of After Hopper\, Before the Masterpieces\, Outermost Inspirations\, Cape Lore and In Thoreau’s Views. The gallery’s reputation for personal service and community support is unmatched.\nAfter Hopper Artists and collectors flock to Cape Cod from all across the globe\, just to see the sites that Edward Hopper painted. Half a century after his death\, new generations continue to be inspired by his work and the area that this great American painter chose as his home. Creative people in all fields learn from those who have gone before: while honoring their teachers\, they add their own talents and experience\, their own selves\, and make something new. Acknowledging and ever grateful for Edward Hopper’s influence\, “After Hopper” celebrates the artists of today who continue to pursue Hopper’s path in their own unique ways. The Addison Art Gallery invites the public to “After Hopper” events and exhibitions of work created by contemporary artists inspired by Edward Hopper and Cape Cod.\nIn Thoreau’s Views “Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocean\, which\, we are told\, covers more than two-thirds of the globe\, but of which a man who lives a few miles inland may never see any trace\, more than of another world\, I made a visit to Cape Cod.” —Henry David Thoreau\n“Best Art Gallery Cape Cod” — Cape Cod Magazine\n“One of the nation’s leading year-round galleries” American Art Collector magazine\n“Only the most riveting of talent“—Insider’s Guide to Cape Cod\nEditor’s Choice Award: Fine Art Gallery—Cape Cod Life\n“One of the most successful galleries in the country” astounding “the public with art by newly discovered artists and masterpieces by established artists.” American Art Collector magazine\n“Housed in a beautiful and quaint old red house\, the gallery’s charming appeal draws visitors from around the world to its doors.

There is no greater reward than knowing that a painting has captivated a friend or a stranger. We see many things everyday with heightened digital clarity\, yet original artwork always conveys a sense of mystery and magic for all.

Cape Cod vistas. The delights of home and and gardens. \nWith artistic compositions\, Maryalice Eizenberg combines shapes and colors to share the joys she experiences during Cape Cod summers. Each painting abounds with color and brightens hearts. \nEizenberg is an award-winning artist\, raised surrounded by a family of musicians supportive of her interest in the visual arts. She has been drawing and painting all of her life. She completed coursework at the Worcester and Springfield Fine Arts museums\, earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree at Clark University\, and studied with painters John Cosby\, Donald Demers\, Kim English\,Daniel Keys\, Gregg Kreutz\, Joseph Paquet\, and Charles Sovek. Dramatic patterns of light and color are what attract her most to a subject. It is her emotional response to these elements that she strives to share with the viewer. \nEizenberg has been featured in Cape Cod Life and Chatham magazines and “The Creative Spirit\, Art in Chatham’s Old Village.” Her work also appears in Contemporary Cape Cod Artists: People and Places by Deborah Forman. \nShe teaches at the Creative Arts Center in Chatham\, and is a member of Oil Painters of America\, and Twenty One in Truro. Her work has been shown in museums on and off the Cape. Her work is held in private collections in the United States\, Europe and Japan. \nArtist’s Statement \nRealism that excites has a foundation in abstraction of design. A pattern of light that makes form\, saturates color and creates mood holds it together and tells a story. It is the story that is the bond between the artist and the audience.

Studies can help an artist plan composition\, color choices\, light and perspective. More spontaneous than most finished works\, studies can be dynamic\, show the artist’s thought process and often differ greatly from the finally presented paintings. For instance\, Michelangelo’s study for the Libyan Sibyl on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is based on a male model while the finished painting is of a woman. This exhibition gives the viewer a look at the work and experiments that lead to the art we see completed and framed.

Spearheaded by artists SaraJane Doberstein and Amy Sanders\, and Helen Addison\, Wild Care Week features new works\, sales of which will benefit Wild Care. Please visit the gallery and preview paintings at addisonart.com. For more information\, email helen@addisonart.com. \nJoin Amy Sanders to discover the secret to building depth and luminosity with pastel as she works toward bringing a painting to life through the building up of multiple layers for a demonstration on the gallery lawn Friday\, July 17 at 11:00. (Masks and physical distance required) Pastel is a unique medium\, in that the pigment particles retain their individuality within layers. If carefully layered using strokes in a variety of colors\, weights and direction\, light bounces among the particles creating a unique radiance that is the hallmark of the medium. Questions\, comments and conversation of all things pastel are encouraged. \n\n\nSaraJane’s painting style ranges from traditional representational to contemporary realism\, and her work reflects a fascination with the natural world and its transformations. Whether her subject is a glossy cluster of cherries\, the chipped paint of an antique\, or the colorful jumble of seashells on a beach\, her paintings capture the larger-than-life essence of everyday objects and scenes. Her playful\, whimsical approach to her subjects is balanced by a technical mastery of paint\, which combines to create detailed\, thoughtful\, and energetic compositions.

The Joe Andruzzi Foundation is committed to providing help\, hope\, and a reason to smile\, for New England cancer patients and their families by contributing financial support when it is needed most. \nBaldassini’s stunning masterworks can be see at https://addisonart.com/paul-baldassini/ . For more information or to reserve work\, please email helen@addisonart.com. \nVideos featuring Paul at work and commenting on his paintings can be seen here https://addisonart.com/paul-baldassini/videos/ \nAs a professional designer\, photographer\, and digital image editor\, Paul Baldassini owned and managed Paul Baldassini Graphic Design for over 25 years in Boston’s Back Bay where his creative team provided graphic design and advertising services to a diverse range of clients including corporate\, private and non-profit organizations. Paul has a reputation for producing quality products through a combination of originality in design and composition\, materials and technical competence that have earned him representation and commendations in esteemed settings and publications. Paul has a BFA in Illustration/Graphic Arts from Massachusetts College of Art\, Boston and is a Signature Member of the New England Watercolor Society\, (NEWS). A native of Quincy\, Massachusetts\, Paul\, his wife and daughter reside in Middletown\, Connecticut. \nHaving had some traditional training\, Paul considers himself a self-taught painter due to his total immersion into a highly self-motivated learning process outside the realm of formal instruction — for the most part\, self-taught. Through his dedicated study of 16th and 17th century master painters\, combined with his vast knowledge of modern painting techniques and digital tools\, Paul attends to details that give his paintings a mannered\, but nonetheless\, arresting quality. His technique is very similar to that of the old masters — a structured approach that utilizes a monochrome underpainting with direct overpainting\, minimal glazing and scumbling and the use of a special medium. \nPaul’s sketchbook is a digital camera with a macro lens which he uses to create compelling compositions that combine rhythm & repetition with light and shadow effects. The tripartite nature of the process — the object itself\, the photograph of the object\, and the translation of both into a painting — goes beyond the mere copying of a static reference. Although Paul paints flowers\, its the adverbs and adjectives used to describe them that are the subjects of his paintings. “I continue to be awed by the mathematics of repeating patterns underlying their beauty. Their color and variety command my attention while the blossoming of a flower triggers the sense that something miraculous is coming.” \nThe paintings Paul creates are based on a composite of many images. Like much great art\, they are a combination of fact and fiction. As a digital image editor for most of his professional career of more than 40 years\, Paul now uses digital technology to examine and edit\, larger than life\, the flowers he photographs. Whereas a still life painter seeks to capture an impression of a fleeting moment of light and time\, Paul methodically seeks to reveal the intricacy and elegance of their design. He spends hours exploring the design possibilities before putting brush to canvas. Throughout the process\, and especially when photographing his reference images\, Paul appreciates moments of inspiration\, and later\, seeing his works hung on the gallery wall — the actual painting being mostly just hard work and technical competence.

There is no greater reward than knowing that a painting has captivated a friend or a stranger. We see many things everyday with heightened digital clarity\, yet original artwork always conveys a sense of mystery and magic for all. I see painting as an unspoken and unwritten way to connect our hearts and minds through depictions of shared experience.” — Jonathan McPhilips URL:https://addisonart.com/event/jonathan-mcphillips-one-man-show-2/ LOCATION:Addison Art Gallery\, 43 South Orleans Road\, Orleans\, MA\, 02653\, United States CATEGORIES:All,Openings,Special Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200606T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200606T150000 DTSTAMP:20260421T152209 CREATED:20200510T184427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200526T172331Z UID:13439-1591437600-1591455600@addisonart.com SUMMARY:Paul Schulenburg Books have arrived DESCRIPTION:To make an appointment to pick up your copy\, or to have us ship\, please email helen@addisonart.com. \nFor everyone’s safety\, we will only have books ready for those who have made appointments.

Thank you. \nTo step inside her studio\, please visit Andrea’s YouTube Playlist. \nTo see more about all of our artists’ activities and work\, please visit the Addison Art Gallery YouTube Channel. \nFor every Petitto painting purchased this through May 24\, we will make a donation to the Family Pantry of Cape Cod. \nAndrea Petitto was born in rural Massachusetts where\, in her youth\, she had to choose between art and science. Andrea’s father had been a sculptor and Andrea grew up making things with modeling clay. Instead of the usual children’s literature\, as a small child\, Andrea was fascinated by the images in large folio books of Rodin and Michelangelo sculptures. These influences can still be seen in the strong sense of solidity and form in her paintings. In 1990\, after a career as a university professor and industry consultant\, she moved to art. A course in oil painting in 1997 was a life-changing event. \nAround the turn of the century\, Andrea devoted herself to the study of painting and became a full-time artist with a particular passion for the human figure. Her love of dogs and other animals lead her to include animals in her figurative work. \nAndrea taught art classes at Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua NY\, Cape Cod Art Association in Barnstable and Creative Arts Center\, Chatham. She has had solo shows in Canandaigua and at the Copley Society in Boston\, and has won many awards in Rochester\, NY\, Boston’s Copley Society\, and at many venues on Cape Cod. \nArtist’s Statement\nI have always made some kind of art. As a child\, I created things with clay\, and I have always made drawings of things that I like to look at or just imagine. Later in life I was introduced to oil painting and never looked back. The paint made my drawings come to life. \nFigural work is my passion because of the evocative nature of body language and form. A level of abstraction in the figure allows the viewer to experience the emotional impact in a universal way\, without concern for a specific identity. Brush or knife strokes are more important to me than representational detail. I like the tension between the sense of paint and surface on one hand and the illusion of form and depth on the other. I try to make my subject matter look like it’s been chiseled from stone and yet alive and breathing\, a contrast that I find beautiful and exciting.
