Gallery 1: Rose Sinatra
Rose Sinatra, a resident of Toms River, NJ has focused exclusively on watercolor since 2001. Sinatra is a full-time artist and instructor since 2004. Her unique style and handling of the watercolor medium has won her awards in many regional and local art exhibitions, Sinatra’s paintings are held in private collections throughout the United States.
Her admiration and inspiration comes from a variety of artists from both past and present. For technique, she gives credit to artists, teachers, students, workshops, books and DVD’s. For the most influence and inspiration to create art, she credits her own dear Mother Nature.
A Los Angeles Times Critic wrote; “Rockwelllian innocence works its candied charm in Rose Sinatra’s “Liberty City” best describes how people view this artists work.”
Gallery 2: Josh Gutierrez
Pop-up Gallery: D.Y.O.T. with Instruction Group: “Small Wonders”
Group Statement from Instructor Carol Colvin:
In my current class, D.Y.O.T. with Instruction, we have been exploring different drawing surfaces and how they react with various mediums: watercolors, inks, acrylics and pastels, or a layering of mediums. We have incorporated the use of masking fluids, or tape or other texturing materials to get surprising results. While painting the weekly still life is always an option, our group likes to experiment and enjoys our relaxed atmosphere. Please feel free to join our group or contact me with any questions: Carol at 732-270-9482. We’ve had a lot of fun and hope you enjoy “Small Wonders”, by the Collective Palette of Carol Colvin, Margaret Klaslo, Nancy Scannell, Alina Quinn and Marie Crescenz.
