Showcase Artist Profiles
About Rose Sielian Theriault, Printmaker/Painter

“Encompassing a range of subject matter, most of my artwork is the result of direct observation. My gouache seascapes, however, have a special meaning because they derive from impressions accumulated over time, beginning when my children were young. We went to the beach in the late afternoon when the heat was less intense and the sunbathers had dispersed. Inspired by the calming abating sun and the soothing sound of the waves, my real subject is serenity.”

About Deloris White, Printmaker

“My work reflects detailed views of nature while linking together a variety of materials and processes. Nature provides endless inspiration that I interpret in multiple layers of ink, experimenting with imaginative possibilities. “Reimagine” is the result of opening up to new ideas by combining ghost prints, woodcuts, and monotypes as an example of reinventing my art In the studio, creating new worlds is possible.”

About Todd Bezold – Painter

Todd Bezold

“The coastal environments and deep woodlands of New England are rich with refracted light, with intimate enclosed spaces surrounding pools and streams. I depict these subjects with a simplified application of color forms, adjusting tonality to imply space. My goal is to paint Mount Agamenticus from the peak to views of the mountain itself from distant vantage points.”

About Efram Burk – Photographer/Graphics

Efram Burk

“My exercise is purely formal. I select what the viewer will ultimately see, a process involving considerations of: pattern and rhythm, juxtapositions in scale and contrast between foreground/background forms, surface texture, and light. I never want the space to reveal itself too quickly—there seems to be more mystery, surprise and intrigue in asking: how does this scene work? How does everything fit together? When is there too much information in a particular composition? When does it become too obvious? These are questions I constantly ask myself as I try and abstract my source. In large part I’m drawn to abstracting my subject with an eye for aesthetic balance, an overall symmetry, an ensemble, a gestalt. The choppiness and disintegration of Cubism is also of immense influence to me, as I strive to touch upon, what I like to call, the poetry of fragmentation.”
