Andrea Doughtie's passion is for observation, for noticing forms - in the environment, in still life compositions, or in the landscape of a face.  "Learning to draw and paint has required years of struggle, but being able to capture a subject is singularly rewarding," she says.  Her work is primarily representational, usually high contrast, with particular attention to the effects of light.  Alkyd is the primary medium.  Her paintings have appeared in national and local juried shows as well as group and solo exhiitions.  She is represented by Pegasus Gallery in Quechee, VT.

After 25 years of painting water in the desert landscape of New Mexico, Janet Farley moved to Vermont in 2005. The sheer abundance of water in the Upper Valley continues to inspire and amaze! Combining an array of materials with layers of paint, Farley’s mixed media works reflect light and motion. Dancing along the edge between abstraction and representation, the paintings shimmer with kinetic energy.

I grew up in the rural end of Milton, MA, with chickens, cats, dogs, and horses. We rode in fields and on bridle paths in the Blue Hills Reservation; we hiked, sailed and bicycled. I drew pictures from early childhood on, without much material and no instruction. I began to draw cartoons of family and school life during adolescence, and hoped to become a cartoonist or illustrator. At age 19 I learned basic oil painting techniques during a summer at the Skowhegan School of Sculpture

I have been a an avid photographer for over 30 years. Although I have not shown any of my work in galleries. During this time of shooting stills I have earned my living as a Director of Photography in the video & film industry. I have worked for most if not all of the major networks and have worked on many documentaries during this time.  My still photography has always been a passion of mine and something I have always wanted to expand and do more with.  I have always tried to document life as I see it. Looking at life more as photographs than reality at times.

Inspiration comes from the life that abounds, whether from the farm animals of my neighbors, the faces of my grandchildren, or the rolling hills and streams of these beautiful valleys. As last year was a time of studying faces, this year has been a return to the outdoors, painting directly from nature. I have been searching for the heart of this rolling, river carved valley. Painting from the hilltops, through wind and thunderstorms as well as under crisp blue skies, I have returned to the same places day after day, trying to see what lies hidden. To paraphrase Eugene Delacroix: Success in the arts is not about abridging, but amplifying and by all possible means prolonging the sensation.

Nancy Gerlach learned to paint in 1986 after working for many years as a community organizer and planner.  Buying a house in Vermont had a lot to do with that.  She left her job and took courses at an art center outside of Philadelphia.

I have been a photographer since picking up a friend's camera at the age of 30.  My interest in the meduim orginates from that time.  I have experimented with many different creative processes over the years.  The subject matter ends up being mostly related to the landscape, often in Vermont or on Cape Cod.  I have used may film processes, but at the present time I use exclusively digital means.
