| Tait Hil Tait       Hil Tait graduated from Skidmore College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Studio Art. She received Honors at the Senior Thesis Exhibition at Skidmore and was the recipient of the year’s Jesse Solomon Award for painting. “My work is about an underlying involvement of experiences and communication, all visual, memorial, or imaginary. I invite the audience to develop a dialogue with each of my pieces through movement, creation of atmospheric spaces and imagery. My work transforms one's setting into a creative and whimsical world. I am intrigued by movement and travel of many kinds. Excursions to new places I have not experienced before, returning to places from my past that hold a particular meaning to me, and intellectual or imaginary travel are deeply rooted in my work. I am interested in the travel through thoughts and sounds. My thoughts are consistently swapping between physical travel and illusion. I am conscious of people, their intellectual growth, and the changes that occur as one travels deeper through life. The music in my headphones and the thoughts in my mind are flowing in and out of the layers of my paintings.” Sophia Talamas Sophia Talamas is a twenty- seven year old Artist with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, form the Art Institute of Boston at She has had several exhibitions in the All of the artwork in this show is archivally framed with acid- free foam core backing, and spacers to protect the paper from the glass. Charles Tersolo Expressionistic Cityscapes      Charles Tersolo was born in Rochester, New Hampshire in 1974. After finishing high school in Durham, Charles continued his artistic pursuits at the University of New Hampshire. Charles earned a bachelor of arts and a masters of arts in teaching from UNH, graduating Suma cum laude in 1995. College schooling helped Charles rub shoulders with some of the most renowned artists in the American art world today. Now Charles lives in Boston and is a highly accomplished oil painter, respected by professional artists, galleries, and collectors throughout many cities and towns in the Northeast. Studying on his own as well, Charles has visited museums all over the United States and the world and familiarized himself with hundreds of the most important artists from the past and present to ensure his work carry a connection while remaining fresh and innovative. With over 5 years of solo and group exhibitions behind him, including shows in New York City and Provincetown, he continues creating work that captures attention. Celebration of light and color and the works of humans and nature is the foundation to Charles work, resulting in an artistic taste & sensibility. His strong color and bold brush strokes have been compared to the works of artists such as Van Gogh, Lucien Freud, and Lovis Corinth. George Teshu    I was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1947.
My parents were immigrants from the Moldavian Republic (bordered by Romania and the Ukraine) in the former Soviet Union. They grew up in a small village, close to the land. My mother, in particular, fostered a love of nature in me.
I took my first drawing and painting courses after graduating from Rutgers University (where I had studied English and art history) in 1969 at Kean College in Union, New Jersey.
I had been inspired to create art after seeing an exhibit of the paintings of Paul Klee at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. I felt drawn by his fanciful paintings into the wonderful world of his imagination. I continued to take studio art courses over the next several years at many art schools in the New York City area, including the Art Students League, the School of Visual Arts and New York University. I continued to enjoy many visits to art galleries and museums, to be inspired by other artists and to see what I could learn from their work. These included the many galleries in midtown Manhattan, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Over the years I have continued to develop my work by means of formal instruction, informal interactions with other artists and independent research and experimentation into new ideas, materials and techniques.
I feel strongly influenced in my artwork by my childhood, including the icons which I saw in the Russian Orthodox Church we attended. These portraits of the Holy Family and the saints in gold and other vibrant colors, including the celestial blue of heaven, transported me into a realm beyond this earthly one. The icons were surrounded by the beautiful glow of many candles lit by the parishoners as they entered the church to the sounds of the choir.
My work is nature-centered and both sensuous and spiritual. It is focused on the female face and form, and depicts both mortal and supernatural women including fairies, angels and goddesses.
A recent inspiration in my art has been the sculptures found in temples in India, which are sensuous, sexual and spiritual all at the same time.
I work in a variety of media, including pen and ink, oils, acrylics and watercolors.
George Teshu Erinn Tilley           Erinn says: " The core of this collection of paintings is based on Ivan Pavlov's theory of the Conditioned Response. It is my interpretation of the flow of the Conditioned Response. I enjoyed creating these because in the process of doing so, I discovered what I internally, unvoluntarily respond to." Adele Travisano        Adele Travisano, of Medford Art Center Inc., received an MFA from Pratt Institute, where she studied painting with George McNeil who, in turn, was a student of Hans Hofmann. Therefore, she is a direct product of the 20th century New York school of abstract expressionism. Her work has appeared in galleries and museums in New England, New York, and New Jersey, including Acme Fine Art Gallery on Newbury St. in Boston, the Cherry Stone Gallery in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and the William Benton Museum in Storrs, Connecticut. In addition to one-woman shows, she has exhibited her paintings in group shows which included works by Hans Hofmann, George McNeil, Robert Motherwell, Berenice Abbott, Edwin Dickinson, Red Grooms, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Beauchamp, Wil Barnet, Jack Tworkov, and Tobi Kahn, among others. Her work may be found in collections nationwide, including those of Graham Gund and the Bank of America. She is represented by 13FOREST Gallery in Arlington, Massachusetts.
