About the artists:

“I began painting around age 10. I fondly recall my first classes in a rustic barn in Saddle River, NJ. My love of painting has continued through the years. I received my BFA from Ithaca College and enjoyed a summer studying in Italy.

Common to many artists, my life and business career greatly interfered with studio time, but I managed to experiment with mediums beside oil occasionally, and had a pottery studio over the years. Now, happily enjoying retirement, I’ve been able to return to painting and venture into plein air in addition to studio painting.

A fan of Rothko, and many Impressionists - I strive to capture the essence and energy of a scene through the play of colors, shape, and texture. This results in works that are often a blend of Impressionist and Abstract influences.

We never stop learning through either formal instruction, or each other. As part of the River Valley Artists and Lyme Art Association in the lower Connecticut River Valley, I continue to learn from others while enjoying our plein air gatherings, as well as more formal classes. My journey, thus far, has taken me from ‘non-objective abstract’ (college days) to landscape and still life.

Most recently I was honored to receive and ‘Award of Merit’ for a piece in Lyme Art Association juried show, Four Acts. I hope you enjoy my creations.”—Pam Peters
