KARL PACKARD ARTIST STATEMENT:
The work mediates the link between landscape and the human form. The dynamic relationship between figure and ground provides order, significance, and meaning with which to understand and appreciate an artwork.
KARL PACKARD ARTIST BIO:
Like many, Karle Packard started painting and drawing as a child and has been doing both ever since. He had a successful career as an architect, ultimately discovering that one of the main reasons he became an architect was that he liked to draw. When an undergraduate at Columbia, majoring in art history, he worked as teaching assistant for Chiang Yee, “The Silent Traveler”, in a class on Chinese watercolor painting. Yee’s guidance and encouragement profoundly affected the context of Karle’s artistic endeavors. On and off since childhood, Karle has been present on the Outer Cape, where he continues to draw and paint, and to learn.
LESLIE DEALEY ARTIST STATEMENT:
I am interested in portraying the human figure in an abstracted rendition with a bright color palette, capturing movement and light
LESLIE DEALEY ARTIST BIO:
I am both a watercolorist and oil painter who has been painting most of my life. I was born in NYC and have lived in New England for 40yrs . My primary subjects have been landscapes of New England, still lifes and portraits. I am fascinated by capturing light, color and movement.
