Taylor's work reflects a masterful grasp of technique with a vivid imaginative play of subject which encourages the viewer's thought and interpretation. He often incorporates personal references that transcend to universal experience.
Vincent Amicosante
Vincent Amicosante’s paintings have been exhibited throughout the United States, including the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Cahoon Museum in Cotuit, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, the Cotuit Center for the Arts, and the Harmon Gallery in Wellfleet. He is a member of the Copley Society of Art in Boston and participated in the 2009 Biennale Internazionale Dell’ Arte Contemporanea in Florence, Italy. He trained at New York City’s School of Visual Arts. He has established a reputation as a magic realist painter, rearranging familiar themes to become enigmatic scenes. His work can also be seen currently at the Harmon Gallery in Wellfleet, MA.

Herb Edwards was born in Brownsville, PA in 1940. He received his BFA from The University of New Mexico in 1963 and his MFA from Pratt Institute in 1970. Herb was a professor of fine arts for over twenty years at Brookdale Community College in New Jersey. In 1990 he left teaching to devote full energies to his art and moved to a small artist's community in Northern New Mexico, painting the high desert landscape and exhibiting in Santa Fe.
Thomas Hoffmann
Thomas Hoffmann lives and works in Orleans, Massachusetts. Most recently he’s been oil painting, mostly landscapes with occasional figures inspired by his recent move to Cape Cod. Tom studied Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design (1984–1987), and received his MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1993. He has worked as a freelance illustrator, teacher, graphic & user interface designer, and fine artist.
Here’s what Tom says about his working style, “I don’t have a rigid way of starting paintings. Sometimes it comes from a familiar scene that I finally see in an interesting light, or sometimes it’s just that I feel like painting something yellow that day. I ultimately want the paint, and they way I paint it, to be an integral aspect of what is painted. The subject and the materials inform each other through me as I work. Whether there is a figure, or just a lonely tree, I think of it at as myself wondering about my place in whatever space or time I’m painting.”
Christine Niles
A native New Englander, Christine graduated from the Swain School of Design with a BFA in Textile Design and Painting. Christine paints primarily in oils. Her works often represent liminal space. The planes between land and water, earth and sky expresses how the smallness of humanity meets the expansiveness of nature.
