Leslie Baker — In Her Own Words

I like painting what is around me, what is familiar, because of the almost endless opportunities for deeper exploration. I am intrigued by the idea of “knowing” something by painting it many times, at different times of the day, and different times of the year — changing my palette as needed, the size of my canvas, and my medium. And this is true whether I’m exploring a landscape, figurative or architectural theme. Often the resulting pieces evolve and become more austere and abstract, restrained and mysterious.

Ruth DeWilde-Major — In Her Own Words

My roots to this island go back three generations and I always knew I would live here. The place is so inspiring, the scenes so magnificent, the weather so unpredictable and the people so genuine and intelligent that I can not imagine living anywhere else.

In Her Own Words: A Story About Anne Grandin

The first half of my story.

I was born in Philadelphia and would paint in our basement doing huge paintings in acrylic or whatever I found lying around. I was not encouraged to paint or go to art school. The Moore College of Art in Philadelphia was a “safe place to go” and I majored in art education. But, painting was in my heart, so I attended The Tyler School of Art taking graduate painting and sculpture courses and doing all sorts of exciting 3-D pieces and boxes with molded shapes and forms.
