 Herb Weingartner
Herb Weingartner’s whimsical landscapes are made for his audience. The artist playfully renders scenes of spring flowers and rolling hills to lift the viewer into another mental state. “The painting should be capable of helping us recover knowledge that may have been stuck gathering dust in some faraway corner of our mind.” Weingartner received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and has exhibited his paintings in Washington D.C. and Maryland.

Known for her images of Vietnam and a series that focuses on the penguin, the artist is interested in relationships. “Painting and drawing are a way for me to give a very personal touch to what I see, something that simple photography could not achieve.” Marine studied at the Versailles Landscaping School and at the Martenot School in France.

 Evelina Brozgul
Time is the essence of Evelina Brozgul’s architectural paintings on wood. Layers of imagery from archways and bridges become abstract representations of Renaissance structures. Glazes of tempera “veil” the scenes, as our memory is only a fuzziness of the reality we experience. “In my work, I wish to remember and recreate my own fragments, reinterpreting them as I am inclined and informed by my emotions.” Brozgul received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and is a grant recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation this year.

 Marceline Saphian
Marceline Saphian's graphic depictions of fruit, flowers and the rising sun are celebrations of color and line. The artist's method of abstracting every scene is the
result of her practice as a classical printmaker and her intuitive response
to form. "Nature is used as a springboard towards a personal response to
what I observe." Saphian studied at the Southeast Missouri State College
and her work belongs to the collections of Price Waterhouse and Citicorp.
