Annette Alessi

Annette Alessi is inspired by places she’s visited and passed, people she loves, time spent in nature, and observations of the light around her. She emphasizes the colors she sees “to allow the viewer to appreciate life all the more.

“I enjoy painting landscapes plein air and creating portraits especially of children. Sometimes I work from photographs of my own if I have been inspired by a moment in time, and the moment needed to be captured quickly. There is a story behind each piece as I move through my journey of life. I am attracted to contrast in light whether it be in a portrait or in a landscape. I use both pastels and oils depending on what I think the particular subject and/or mood will need. Lately, I have been falling in love with oils. I enjoy watching the reaction of art lovers as they view my works and share in the joy that has been given to me through my art. It is truly a gift from God. Art is a passion of the Heart. It’s up to the individual to use it, and to share it with others.” –Annette Alessi, © 2015

Annette studied drawing and painting the human figure majoring in fashion illustration at the Art Institute of Philadelphia during the late 80’s, graduating in 1987. Two months after graduating, she began working with Alfred Angelo Bridals as the fashion illustrator for Michelle Piccione. All throughout the 90’s, Annette worked in the fashion advertising industry as a graphic designer, art director, illustrator and portraiture artist. She has been using pastels for about 20 years. She has been using oils since 2006 when introduced to the medium by a former teacher, Karl Kuerner, a well known artist who was mentored by Andrew Wyeth. Her landscapes are self-taught only since the new millennium. Annette began exhibiting starting in 2002 with figurative works in a series called The History of Fashion. Gradually she began to frequently exhibit her landscapes which are now part of a large collection called “Brandywine Valley Landscapes” which can be found at various galleries and art exhibitions locally, and viewed on her website.

Annette loves to share this knowledge acquired over the many years by teaching art to adults and children with classes held at Chester County Art Association in West Chester, PA, Darlington Arts Center in Garnet Valley, PA and privately at her studio in Garnet Valley, PA. She is presently a member of the Pastel Society of America, the Portrait Society of America, and a few other organizations. She is represented by various galleries in the PA and DE area such as Strodes Mill Gallery in West Chester, PA, Hardcastle Galleries in Centreville, DE, Bryn Mawr Art and Photo Gallery, Bryn Mawr, PA and others in the Brandywine Valley area. She juried various art exhibits, including the Rose Tree Park Exhibition of the Artist Guild of Delaware County. Various books have published Annette’s works such as “100 Artists of the Brandywine Valley”, “Best of American Artists in Pastel “and “A World of Artists”. Many press releases have been published showing her works in local papers including an article published in the July 11, 2013 News Journal of Wilmington in the Crossroads section, and the August 20, 2014 Garnet Valley Press. If you would like the collection of Annette’s works in person, you can visit Annette Alessi Fine Art studio in Garnet Valley, PA by appointment by calling 610-742-7474, or email atannette@alessicreations.com.

Jill Banks

After turning to fine art in 2003, Jill Banks dove in head first and has been up to her elbows in paint ever since. Jill paints like a pig eats. (Voraciously.) Her life as a painter is far from dull. She’s set up her easel in towns and farms far and wide. Spent three days in her NYC hotel room shower equipped with floor to ceiling windows capturing sunrise to sunset in the city. Painted in Paris, Florence, Madrid, Monterey CA and at a nearby farm. Days are filled with adventure: exploring places, enjoying meeting the people (and creatures) in them, capturing the world as she finds it at that moment. She lives outside of her comfort zone and likes it there. In 2015, she’ll be participating in Telluride Plein Air and Wayne Plein Air (Wayne, PA). In both, she’ll work to capture the spirit of these places, live. Her work was featured 3x on the cover of élan Magazine. Jill’s paintings have also appeared in American Art Collector, Southwest Art, Fine Art Connoisseur, and the Washington Post.

Sarah Baptist

Born and raised in Clarion, PA. Always loved art and theater. I was a scenic artist in theater for 20+ years. After losing my job in Dec.2013, I decided to live my dream of being a full-time artist.

Carrie Barcomb

Carrie was born and raised in Northeastern Maryland, near the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay. In 1994, she graduated from the Maryland Institute, College of Art. She has worked as technical illustrator and art director for the federal government and private corporations. As a freelance illustrator her work has been published in environmental and educational textbooks. Her commissioned portraits are in collections throughout the United States, and Europe. She is currently creating plein air oil painting landscapes of the Brandywine Valley area.

Elisabeth Bard

Texture, color and the patina of old buildings stimulate the senses and lead me to create environmental tapestries and dreamlike scenes to envelope the viewer in the image. During the course of her artistic career, she has long been fascinated in the passage of time, space and environment and its impact upon the viewer; and in the possibilities of getting the viewer to think and feel about more than what immediately hits the eye; Elisabeth wants to envelope the viewer in the image, wrap them into its environment and have them leave with a different view on their world. Elisabeth Bard studied fine art and photography at Hiram College in Hiram, Ohio. After initially working in the field for several years, she left to raise her family and to paint. She then returned to the art field as a graphic artist and has 20 plus years experience working as a designer and llustrator. During that period she also had extensive experience working with and selecting images for various publications. She returned full-time to photography during the 1990s and makes this the main focus of her creative endeavors, viewing herself primarily as an artist who just happens to use a camera. Abstracts focusing upon texture and color are her main love and focus. Elisabeth has exhibited locally, including Colorworks and Center for the Creative Arts as well as the Biggs Museum and the Delaware Art Museum, and has won several awards for her work including the prestigous Delaware Emerging Artist for Photography for 2011. She has also exhibited her photographs at the Sketch Club of Philadelphia, The Wilmington Public Library, Newark Arts Alliance as well as several other galleries in the Mid Atlantic region. She is a member of several local arts and photographic organizations in the area and is serving on several committees dealing with art exhibition.

Jacalyn Beam

Jacalyn Beam Jacalyn Beam paints the beautiful Brandywine Valley where she was born and now permanently resides. Like the Pennsylvania Impressionists of the 19th and 20th centuries who had strong links to the local landscape, Jacalyn typically paints scenes within a few miles of home. Her plein air paintings document the local color and culture of our area. There is much in the Brandywine Valley to capture one’s attention – historic homes and barns, lush landscapes, assorted animals, and curving creeks. The area is especially beautiful in the winter because the intimacies of the land are in full view. At night, you can see the warm glow of candles or period lighting in the historic homes that dot the landscape. It’s reminiscent of a Sotter scene from the 1800s. Jacalyn holds a B.S. in Music, M.Ed. and Ed.D. and has always had a passion for painting. The Wyeths, Sorolla, Sargent, Sotter, Redfield, and Benson are a few of her favorite artists. I paint outdoors because the world is rich with visual and aural beauty and it’s the optimal way to see three dimensional objects, the subtleties of light and shadows, atmospheric perspective, and ‘real’ colors. Plein air painting is also a lot fun! You meet new friends – animal and human, have fleeting conversations with bicyclists and joggers, and experience the sounds and smells of the outdoors. Jacalyn is an active member of the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painting Association where she serves on the Board of Directors. She is also an elected member of the Board of Directors at the Chaddsford Historical Society where she chairs the annual Winter Plein Air Event. Also a member of Oil Painters of America and the American Impressionist Society, Jacalyn was selected for inclusion in the book, 100 Mid Atlantic Painters published in 2014 and released by Shiffer. She is represented by the Chaddsford Gallery in Chaddsford PA, Strode’s Mill Gallery in West Chester, PA, Station Gallery in Greenville DE, and Studio 882 in PA. You can also view her work at: www.jacalynbeam.com

Tom Dempsey

I have been fortunate enough to participate in the last three Plein Air Brandywine Valley events. I am an enthusiastic plein air painter, and the Brandywine Valley is among my favorite subjects.

Bryan Deprospero

My painting process has a very similar nature to that of the landscape itself. It is through the repetition of spontaneity and chaos that I reach a level of distillation and realization. Each layer of paint acting like a veil of atmosphere and matter that as they overlap and concentrate begin to become mimetic of reality. I’ve found that every life experience is an abstract one. Painting should not strive to be any different than this. This is why my paintings have become less about rendition and replication and more about playful illusion and suggestion. My process is utterly selfish and indulgent to myself while being a selfless offering to the viewer; my process is forgiving in its primordial state while being relentless upon its creation. The concept is the paint, as is the content of my work, and Landscape has given me the nearly perfect repertoire of color relations and compositions to portray these ideals.

Beth Duncan

Elizabeth Duncan has been painting and photographing the beautiful scenes of the Brandywine Valley for some years now, and has participated as an artist in the Plein Air Brandywine competition twice before. After concentrating mostly on photographic medium for about ten years, she began studying watercolor at Delaware Art Museum and then changed medium to oils and began painting outdoors. She also studies with various artists locally and now participates at Longwood Gardens in its “Meadow through the Seasons” workshop.

Hallock’s fascination with waterways and wildlife are clearly evident in her artwork. Working mostly en plein air in her beloved bayous, Carol strives to capture more than just the visual, but also the mood and emotional affect of her environment. These pieces painted in the loose impressionistic style which she is known for are full of vibrant color are done in alla prima style. Her expressive strokes of color, light and mood effectively allow the viewer to see life through the artist’s eyes. Carol Hallock was born in Baton Rouge, and is a graduate of LSU.

Maryanne Jacobsen

Maryanne Jacobsen is a colorist and contemporary impressionist. She began painting in 2006 after an early retirement from a ballet career allowed her the opportunity to indulge in a childhood dream to become a visual artist. With color the motivating factor in her desire to paint, she picked up a palette knife and the magic of creation began. The love affair is still in high gear seven years later, and Maryanne feels blessed to have found one more passion in a life that has been filled with artistic accomplishments. Over the past few years Maryanne has been juried into many local and prestigious national shows including the American Impressionist Society, American Women Artists, The National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, Paint America, and Women Painters of the Southeast. She has won many awards, including First Place and Best of Show and paints en plein air as often as possible. She is collected both nationally and abroad and recent collectors of note include American author Ed Meek, British author Deborah Lawrenson and The Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida. Maryanne is represented by galleries throughout the United States including Galerie du Soleil in Naples, Fl., Gallery444 in Union Square,San Francesco, Lorica Artworks in Andover, Massachusetts, and Collector’s Gallery in Venice, Fl. A complete list of juried shows, plein air competitions, and awards can be found on Maryanne’s website at www.maryannejacobsen.com

Ken Karlic

Originally from Chicago, Ken Karlic’s earliest memories are of drawing. Over the years Ken used various media for his art, but it wasn’t until he began to travel extensively with his wife, Eve, that he chose watercolors exclusively, primarily for their portability. This began a two decades long refinement of his techniques, which still continues today. Although he also paints in the studio, Ken’s real love is to paint en plein-air, a French expression used to describe the act of painting outdoors, and made popular by the Impressionists. In 2010, Ken began to participate in juried plein-air painting competitions. In his second competition, he sold five paintings, won second place and was officially hooked. Accustomed to the deadlines inherent in graphic design, painting plein-air is a perfect match for Ken, as he enjoys painting with a sense of urgency and passion that is more about capturing the essence rather than the specifics of any location. Ken Karlic studied architecture, painting and graphic design at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, and he received a BFA in graphic design in 1986. Ken is an award-winning graphic designer and founding partner of Splice Design Group located in Sparks, Maryland, which specializes in brand identity, interactive and print design for corporate and institutional clients, including the Guggenheim Foundation and Smithsonian Institution. His paintings are in private and institutional collections including Johns Hopkins Hospital, and he is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Plein-Air Painters Association (MAPAPA) and a Signature Artist Member of Baltimore Watercolor Society.

Elsa Keller

I am blessed and privileged to have been able to paint in the Brandywine valley and at nearby coastlines for the past 10 years. I prefer to paint outdoors whenever possible; the paintings submitted for this competition were all completed en plein air over the past year. Participating in Plein Air Brandywine Valley and other local plein air competitions has been a joy. Painting for me is a way of mirroring in some small way the beauty of nature, which points back to God, and thus is a form of praise. See more work at ElsaKeller.com

Alison Leigh Menke

Much like the impressionists who first ventured out into nature with their easels and paints in tow, I too am greatly inspired by outdoor light and true colors of the landscape. I express myself through bold color choices and decisive brushwork. My inspiration for painting is to express the poetic relationships and melodies of light and color found in nature. I choose a variety of subject matter yet have a particular interest in sunrise/sunset paintings and maritime scenes. Born abroad and raised in Clarksville, Maryland, I now live in Washington, DC. I hold a B.A. in Art and Art History from University of Maryland, College Park and have studied with internationally acclaimed artists in the US and abroad. Growing up I was impressed by the physical beauty surrounding me and by the art of my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who’s paintings and passions enchanted me throughout my youth. Artists who have been an inspiration include Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Anders Zorn, Kim English, and Clyde Aspevig.

Larry Meyers

My passion for photography began when I was about six years old and has continued strong ever since. I enjoy capturing the interplay of light and texture, color and shadow involving subjects as varied as butterflies, flowers and clouds. My eclectic subject matter incorporates formats ranging from macro to extreme wide angle photography. I tend to photograph anything that interests me, from light reflections on a oil slicked road, to macro shots of flowers and insects. This hobby has provided thousands of hours of personal enjoyment in creating images that evoke a range of positive emotional responses from viewers.

Mary Monk

Mary Monk Painting out of doors is a refining experience, revealing much more detail and subtle transitions in nature. Mary Monk has been an award winning professional artist for over twenty years. Her work can be found in a myriad of public and private art collections including permanent art collections belonging to St. Tammany Parish and the state of Louisiana. She has appeared in numerous magazines such as: Pastel Magazine, Louisiana Life Magazine, St. Charles Magazine and Inside Northside Magazine. She received the majority of her artistic training through classical drawing lessons but is a self taught pastelist. She is an active member of the Degas Pastel Society, the Pastel Society of America and the St. Tammany Pastel Society. Monk’s primary medium is pastel and she is mostly known for her country/urban landscapes. No matter the subject, mood and light are always the true focus of her paintings. Her choices of color and subject matter are heavily influenced by growing up in the city and moving to the country to raise her family. The transition of urban to country sparked an infinite pool of inspiration for the artist. The majority of her paintings are scenes done en plein air. Mary Monk grew up in New Orleans but has been living in Abita Springs with her husband and four children for the past twenty years. She is represented in Louisiana by Three Rivers Gallery in Covington, The New Orleans Academy of Arts and the Garden District Gallery in New Orleans and Frame-Works Gallery in Baton Rouge.

Yvonne Mucci

www.yvonnemucci.wordpress.com Originally from Chicago, I have made southern New Jersey my home for over 30 years. My formal art training was at the American Academy of Art in Chicago where I studied both commercial and fine art. It was at the Academy, learning from Irving Shapiro that my love for watercolor painting emerged. I am constantly painting whether I am holding a brush or not. Always studying a subject that has caught my eye. Before I know it, I am mentally composing a painting. Taking notes, sketching, photographing and figuring out how I’ll build the pigments to capture the play of light and shadow. I like clean, bright colors, using lots of layers to achieve beautiful luminous paintings. My goal in painting is to recapture my initial feeling for a subject and convey that to the viewer. It is wonderful when someone tells you your painting caught their eye and held their interest. To me, my paintings let another person see through my eyes. Paintings can be viewed at www.yvonnemucci.wordpress.com I am a member of the Gloucester County Art League and Salem County Art League.

Connie Newby

My current work consists of small pen and ink drawings of trees, which are for me a catalyst for deeper meaning and reflection. I carefully choose and am drawn to the trees I draw because they speak to me. ‘Tree Spirits’ or ‘Spirit Trees’ are found in the traditions of many cultures and artists worldwide draw inspiration from this phenomenon. My drawings of trees are for me a spiritual journey, a conversation, and an exploration, reflecting upon life, loss, and unanswerable questions about living. In addition to the small ink drawings I also create large scale charcoal drawings which are reinterpretations done in the studio and selected from the smaller pen and ink drawings which are done in the field. I also work in black and white and alternative photographic processes through which I explore concepts in non-verbal, non-linear, visual storytelling. My most recent ongoing photography project is a series of photographs of my mother’s garden which is a reflection of my mother’s struggles with failing health and cancer.

Ellis Underkoffler

Ellis E. Underkoffler, Masters in Education, Natural Sciences (Geology) After teaching junior high school Earth Science for 31 years and 12 years at Wilmington University, I wanted to advance my hobby in photography. My decision was to go beyond this and look for the unusual in nature. I have always enjoyed the outdoors and now am trying to capture its beauty in photographs. I began photographing with the basic SLR and have moved into the SLR Digital medium. I use the Nikon D600and D300 camera with Nikon lens. I studied photography under Professor Byron Shurtlef at the University of Delaware, and in workshops Modern Masters of Photography with Kevin Fleming, Capturing Light with photographer Marc Clery, Allen Rokach’s Focus on Flowers, and Wildflowers of Texas, and Internationally known, John Shaw. Kevin and Marc have inspired me to go farther with my hobby and with their guidance, instruction, and expertise have provided me the uniqueness of each shot.

My pastel artworks explore color, and how it is influenced by light and shadow. My travels to Iceland, Italy, France, Sedona, California, and the Caribbean during the past few years have greatly inspired my work and have assisted me in realizing my goal of conveying the intense pulsations and energy I feel in the world around me. I am a juried member of the Pastel Society of America. Recently, I was in residency for two weeks at the Vermont Studio Center. A participant in hundreds of group exhibits, I have had seventeen one-woman shows, and I am the recipient of many awards. My work appears in public and private collections, and in publications. From Syracuse University, I earned a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Illustration, as well as a Master of Art Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Printmaking from the Pennsylvania State University. I have has studied under and have been influenced by Master Pastelists Daniel Greene, Bill Creevy, and Richard McKinley. My love of color and light has drawn me to work with students of Henry Hensche and the Cape School of Art (Camille Przewodek, Lois Griffel, and Susan Sarbach). My preference is to work in plein air. For the past four years, I have participated in Plein Air Brandywine, and I have been a plein artist with Paint Snow Hill. I have taught on the college and graduate school levels. Currently I teach at Padua Academy.

My interest has always been in exploring color harmonies and light. Along with my love of the natural environment I am also drawn to historical structures and cultural artifacts. I try to reflect this fascination in my paintings. I am largely self-taught, but have also pursued drawing studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and painting work shops with leading plein air painters. My favorite mediums are oil and watercolor due to their luminous quality, my greatest inspiration comes from the French Impressionists’ use of color.

Associations Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, Signature Member Philadelphia Watercolor Society, Signature Member Oil Painters Society of America Artist Statement I am a self-taught artist. My paintings are primarily landscapes done in oil or transparent watercolor. I have always been emotionally drawn to render scenes and events where I live. My attachment to the outdoors motivates me to record scenes on paper as a way to preserve what I see disappearing. I feel that you don’t have to go much further than your own back yard to find inspiration and subject matter. I believe that before an artist can paint he needs to learn how to see! An artist’s gift is his ability to see something special in an otherwise ordinary scene and with absence of elegance dares to repeat nature in all its intricate simplicity.
