JANE LINCOLN EAST FALMOUTH, MA

PASSIVE PINK, 2023

Value: $700

Artist Statement:

"My paintings employ the use of color as the primary subject. I am referring to the relationship of the colors working together as a whole. I strive to create an atmosphere, mood and experience through color alone. The color relationships in these paintings percolate for months before completion. They are comprised of bands of hand-painted acrylic on BFK Rives paper. The segments of painted paper are collaged onto an archival board which stands out from the wall an inch in order to project a colored shadow surrounding the work. This glow will connect to the surface enriching the subject of the painting. In the transition from one color to the next, hues will shift, razor thin edges appear, and vibrations occur. The titles of the paintings are alliterations which describe the character of the subject color. The paintings are present the viewer with color relationships which may trigger a memory or be a new experience, but all are intended to allow the viewer a moment to pause and observe the power of color."

PETER M. MARTIN, MATTAPOISETT, MA

ABSTRACTION #3 IMAGE OF 5 VARIATIONS, 2022

Value: $300

"While always an artist within, I had a life as a teacher for 35 years, retiring in 2009 the year I began being an artist full time. I was a Special Education teacher for 25 years with the Dennis-Yarmouth Public Schools in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. In addition to my commitment as an educator, I served the local community on the Board of Directors of The Cape Cod ARC for 6 years and on the Board of the Cape Cod Therapeutic Riding Clinic for 2.

We all gather visual images about places we are going, people we will meet, and stories that we read or hear. With my art I hope to present the viewer with the opportunity to make some of their own personal connections. I believe that imagery is within me all the time. Without effort it just happens and the alignment of those subconscious images turn into a vision. Triggers can be as simple as the way I look at something, a passage I read or a physical experience. I would say most of my tyvek /paper cuttings and print work is a direct result of this." - Peter M. Martin

She writes: "There has always been, in all the work, the joyous ringing expanses of color, soft brushwork scrubbing or caressing the edges of shapes that melt into one another, and, at the center, opening and deepening, pulling you in and often hurling you around and through the canvas with the motion of gestures refined by Nelson's longstanding practice of yoga. There has always been a reverence for the wisdom of the brush and the oil crayon, bruising and saturating the surface in ways the tool and the surface determine together" Nelson paints in her barn-studio in Brewster on Cape Cod. Local galleries showing her work include: Left Bank Gallery, Wellfleet; Ross Coppelman, Goldsmith, E. Dennis, MA.

ROE OSBORN TRURO, MA

WINDING DOWN, 2026

Value: $1200

"Since graduating from college with a degree in fine arts nearly fifty years ago, my artistic expression has been mainly through sculpture in the form of abstract constructions. The primary focus of that work has been the process involved in its creation. In a sense the pieces have been performance based, where the goal is not the finished piece, but rather the experience of moving through the creative process. As with my sculpture, my paintings are abstract, and as with my sculpture, the main focus of the paintings is the process of creating them. These paintings have also been a unifying element in my life. In the half century since I last painted creatively, I have been deeply involved in the building industry, both as a contractor, and later as a writer and photographer of construction practices. During that time I was always intrigued by the style and sophistication of joinery, from rudimentary framing to complex finish work. As I searched for a subject matter to use for my paintings, the shapes and interaction of materials from my building experience seemed to be a natural choice.For each painting, I start with the concept of an 'architectural vignette', which could be an actual object in a building structure taken from my experience, or it could be a macro-view of a particular structural element"

JUDY ZEHENTNER, PALISADES, NY

DAYDREAM 4, 2024

Value: $300

"I have always been fascinated by the beautiful things created by the intersection of color and light. It could be the incredible detail and variation found in a bird's feathers, the delicate symmetry in a flower's springtime bloom, the golden hour before a shoreline sunset, the reflection of light off the surface of the water, the sadness of paint peeling on an abandoned building, or the complex colors created by rust on an old dock. I look for all of these things and attempt to capture the moment with my camera. For me, capturing these moments reveals the beauty and exquisiteness of life itself. Nothing brings me more joy, more peace, and more fulfillment than photographing the beauty surrounding me and sharing what becomes revealed with my camera. Given the ugly times that we live in today, I believe it is critical for all of use to take the time to see, feel, and savor the glorious color and light and loveliness of our world. It's there waiting for us to see it."

Artist Statement

"With my eyes closed, I am surrounded by ocean waves, falling snow, prismatic sunsets, or swaying sea grass. The air is fresh and inviting. Imagining nature's song playing for me, a sense of calm takes over as I relish a familiar journey. Residents of Harwich, Massachusetts, my boys, husband, and I love our Cape Cod community. I am always making note of my next painting from our surroundings.

Graduating magna cum laude from Franklin Pierce University, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Communications including minors of Fine Art and Art History in 1996. In addition to graphic design, my early studies included life drawing, glassblowing, and photography; I later concentrated my fine arts studies on painting."

Starting her art life as a stained glass artist, she soon became consumed with intriguing metal shapes that were being thrown out, and realized she needed to learn to weld in order to fashion these pieces into sculpture. Sue has since expanded her media into fiber, paper, and wood. She has been in many group and solo shows over the years, and continues to teach individuals in her studios.

RUTH HOGAN, Art in the Garden
Artist's Proof, White-Line Woodblock Print, 1988

Image: 9" x 14" | Framed: 17" x 21"

A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Cape Cod Museum of Art history, this Artist's Proof captures the Museum's 1988 'Art in the Garden' celebration, depicting guests enjoying the celebration with the original Cape Cod Museum of Fine Art building as the backdrop. More than a beautiful work of art, this proof serves as a visual time capsule, preserving an important chapter in the Museum's history and the vibrant community of artists that have long gathered to support it.

Created by acclaimed white-line printmaker Ruth Hogan, Art in the Garden exemplifies the bold color and handcrafted beauty of the Provincetown white-line woodblock tradition. Although Hogan grew up in Texas, her artistic roots run deep on Cape Cod through her great-aunt, Elizabeth Howland Caliga, one of the founding members of the Provincetown Printers. She also studied with artists Robert Douglas Hunter and Ferol Warthen in Provincetown. Inspired by that legacy, Hogan embraced representational scenes filled with warmth and vivid color, believing art should celebrate the joy found in everyday life.

This impression is especially significant as an Artist's Proof (AP), a rare print retained by the artist during the creative process before the principal edition was completed. Because each white-line print is individually hand-painted and hand-rubbed from a single carved woodblock, every impression is unique, making Artist's Proofs especially sought after by collectors.

For collectors of Cape Cod art, admirers of the Provincetown white-line tradition, and supporters of the Museum alike, this exceptional work offers the rare chance to own both an outstanding print and a lasting piece of the Cape Cod Museum of Art's legacy.
