Valentina Kobilansky: "I have enjoyed painting as far back as I can remember.  I work mostly in oil, but I like pastel and charcoal. I have studied with several outstanding instructors at The Art Students League of New York. Recently I have been working with a group of talented artists called 'League Of Our Own'. Our studio is located in Orangeburg, NY." ".   valentina@kobilansky.com  *

John Girouard is a self-taught artist whose journey into the art world began outside conventional paths.  Girouard immersed himself into the study of mixed media, hot glue & crayons, on canvas.  His experiences are transformed onto canvases and into vibrant and energetic abstractions. The elements of Girouard’s compositions include layered glazes, rich colors, gestural strokes, and an atmospheric sense of light and depth

Rosemary Gerbutavich has been a lifelong lover of the visual arts since childhood and only since her retirement from a long and rewarding nursing career has she been able to pursue the opportunity to direct her to watercolor as her primary medium.  Although she has attended many group lessons and worked from home through the years painting with oils and acrylics her lifelong infatuation with the transparency and fluid movement of colors that watercolor expresses, has drawn her into this new medium where she obviously thrives. 
Rosemary's art approach has been described as "bright, bold colors with a whimsical expression" which reflects her personality in both life and in art.  She attends workshops with local as well as nationally acclaimed artists, in the endless quest of new interesting techniques.   

A member of the Mt.Washington Valley Arts Association and Ellis River Art Gallery in Jackson, NH, Rosemary received an Honorable Mention Award in 2015 at the Art in the Park Exhibition.

My name is Sean Stull. I am a pastel and oil artist. I believe that both pastels and oils hold the potential for a subtle exploration of nature's power, which has never been fully realized. In that I push the medium to reach that potential, I consider myself a truly modern artist. Yet my work is also representational and elemental. To me, the word "elemental" describes both nature in its most natural mood, as well as forms found in nature, best portrayed in a landscape composition. The driving force of my work comes from my firm and deeply rooted belief that nature is vibrant, alive, and profound.

    Color has always attracted me.  The beautiful colors in my chemical classes were one reason I chose to become a chemist.  During my career I worked at Polaroid and learned about the scientific aspects of color. 
    I was also exposed to photography. Art became my calling after retiring early.
At first I chose to work in stained glass with all it's amazing colors. My art has been a journey and I became focused on painting.   I later chose to work in oils because of their permanence and brilliant color.  My style has evolved to capture realism with a delicate softness.  I strive to communicate to the viewer my love and appreciation of the colors of nature and that it is all about light.
    Living in the beauty of the Presidential Range, surrounded by the continually changing seasons and their colors my visual world amazes me everyday. To satisfy my passion for pleasing the beholder I am constantly looking for scenes when walking or driving that will do just that with vivid color and unique light effects. The eye should travel around the painting, rest there for a while and come back again and again. 
    One of my favorite places to paint outdoors is in Crawford Notch.  The notch has been painted many times over the years.  The most famous rendition is probably the work of Thomas Cole done in 1839. The scene has not changed much since then.
    To me winter in the North Country presents the most beautiful season with its displays of snow covered mountains in radiant and rich color.   Winter brings me indoors to paint still lifes striving to have the viewer feel, and sense  the subtleties of my subjects.  I also surprise family members with portraits.
More recently I have experimented with pastels and watercolor for it's spontaneity. But I always return to my oils.  I study under the  nationally known NH artist Ralph Stone Jacobs of Whitefield.
