Amy Phillips Chuckrow spends her summers painting landscapes on Nantucket, where she has fallen in love with the many different light effects found on the Island. The Brant Point Lighthouse is one of her favorite spots to paint. “There is so much going on here,” she says, “whether it is the sun burning through early morning mist, or boats sailing by on a clear and windy afternoon. Sometimes there are white caps on the water and sometimes the water is still and translucent. When a plein air painter works outside, it’s impossible not to notice that the visual world changes constantly. The shadows grow longer or shorter. The goal of a landscape painter is to capture a particular visual moment by unifying the visual phenomena occurring around her. By creating a beautiful image, the artist evokes a feeling in the viewer that speaks a familiar language. In other words, the viewer has been there and seen and felt that very same thing.”

After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1981, Amy Chuckrow began studying with Paul Ingbretson in the atelier tradition of the Boston School. She spends most of her time working at Fenway Studios. Over the years, she has participating in several group shows, including the Powers Gallery, Acton; Jensen Fine Arts, Chestnut Hill; Gallery Five Hundred, Weston; The Guild of Boston Artists; and the East End Gallery, Nantucket.

Berio Gizzi was born in Abruzzo, Italy in 1932, came to Boston in 1936, where he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts 1959 – 1962. In the summer of 1962, Berio studied drawing with famed sculptor, George Demetrious, in Gloucester, MA. From 1962 – 1964 Berio attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence Italy, and traveled to various countries to study the Old Masters.

As his paintings reveal, Berio likes to juxtapose a variety of images. For example, “The Stairway,” includes rendering of a Van Eyke painting, one of his own landscapes, a photograph of his daughter, and a porcelain doll that can be seen in five other paintings in a series. The painting was done in oil on masonite.

With an emphasis on mark-making, écriture (scriptural gesture), manipulated symbols, and ancient/contemporary alphanumerics, Mr. Kelleher forms an expressive personal vocabulary. Visual language and markings in many forms are important design elements that are paraphrased and at times rendered abstractly or in an expressionistic manner to create a perception that is at once familiar and yet unknowable.

The work is often structured in a square framework and developed in a serial format; each component piece, however, exists as an independent work. Modest in scale with a monochromatic palette, these works forge a subtly compelling and contemporary graphic idiom, exemplifying a delicate balance of scale, medium, and process that invites scrutiny and contemplation.

There may be a suggestion of ancient writs or tablets whose messages have been obscured by time, the hint of an esoteric discourse, or an ambiguous, graffiti-like message that can be understood only by the rare initiated. These enigmatic works challenge the viewer to decipher the secrets within this artful domain, and encourage a thoughtful engagement and aesthetic encounter.

I was born in New York City in 1951. My family moved to a number of different locations on the northeast coast. I attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1980.

“Look Only to the Past and Lose an Eye. Forget the Past and Lose Both Eyes.”
This Old Russian proverb states a truism critical to cultural development. In my own work this proverb reflects the philosophical basis of my artistic sensibilities. I have spent most of my professional life trying to understand the “language” of the Masters of Western European painting. I believe that this language should not be forsaken as new and different languages develop. My goal is not to reproduce the masterpieces of the past, but to capture the contemporary using this established language.

The Camera Obscura's Place in Art History
The camera obscura's employment by artists of the 17th and 18th centuries is still a matter of speculation. Art historians still hotly dispute which artists used these optical tools.

These questions remain to be answered: When and by whom were they first used? What types of camera obscuras where utilized? How where they used by the artists of the past? By making accurate working models of the 17th and 18th centuries camera obscuras that would have been available to artists of that era, I can, and have, reconstructed how these cameras were used.

However, an accurate picture of their uses can only be gleaned by imposing strict limitation in the employment of these optical instruments. For example:

  1. Camera obscuras can only be used in either daylight or firelight and all the tools employed must be w ithin the established technology of the century to be examined.
  2. Fenway Studios gives me the ideal working space for this research. My studio is almost identical to the working spaces of artist from the past.

Please contact me for additional information concerning this significant, historic visual tool.

Yoshi Mizutani was born in Japan to an artistic family. He started to paint watercolors seriously by the age of ten, and by the age 16 he was trained in basic drawing techniques and introduced to oil painting. Driven by a strong desire for further training in the Western realistic tradition, Yoshi left Japan when he was 18 to study the Old Masters paintings in Italy, Spain and France. Subsequently, he relocated to the United States and spent seven years completing his studies with portrait painter Robert Cormier at the R.H. Ives Gammell Atelier. Yoshi then moved back to Spain where he executed many commissioned portraits while continuing his studies of the Old Masters, Velasquez and Sorolla in the Museums of Madrid. During this time, his works were exhibited in Barcelona galleries.

In the spring of 2001, Yoshi returned to Boston, where he now resides. His work utilizes academic drawing with an impressionistic palate.

Born in Connecticut, Jane now divides her time between Little Compton, RI and Boston. She received her BFA from Boston University School of Fine Arts in 1978. In 1986 Jane formed O'Hara Arts, a mural and decorative painting company.

In recent years Jane's studio work has reflected her passion for animals. With commissions of animal companions, donation of her artwork to animal groups, and paintings in shows, she is able to communicate her vision of the animal condition. Both the insensitivity or conversely, the pampering and casting of human traits onto animals by so many disturbs and intrigues Jane, and she comments on those tendencies with humor and irony in her artwork.

Gedas Paskauskas, a native of Rhode Island, began his art education in 1970 at the School of the Worcester Art Museum. After graduation, he continued with private study with Robert Douglas Hunter in Boston. In 1975, Gedas began a career as a commercial photographer and later as a mural artist. Co-founding Bopas, Inc., in 1981, a mural and decorative painting company, he branched out to form Gedas Paskauskas Studios, Inc. in 2005.

His personal work reflects his observation of nature, but transposes light and form to convey a more personal sentiment, reducing visual information to the elements of pure expression. Gedas divides his work and time between his studios in Boston and Little Compton, RI.

Artist statement:
My paintings are realistic interpretations of flowers, pensive figures, and architecture. The complexity and diversity of flowers fascinate and inspire me to attempt to capture the beauty of nature. I am also drawn to the textures and layers of color which surface on architecture after years of exposure. Color thrills me and I hope that my use of it brings pleasure to the viewer.

Amy Phillips Chuckrow spends her summers painting landscapes on Nantucket, where she has fallen in love with the many different light effects found on the Island. The Brant Point Lighthouse is one of her favorite spots to paint. “There is so much going on here,” she says, “whether it is the sun burning through early morning mist, or boats sailing by on a clear and windy afternoon. Sometimes there are white caps on the water and sometimes the water is still and translucent. When a plein air painter works outside, it’s impossible not to notice that the visual world changes constantly. The shadows grow longer or shorter. The goal of a landscape painter is to capture a particular visual moment by unifying the visual phenomena occurring around her. By creating a beautiful image, the artist evokes a feeling in the viewer that speaks a familiar language. In other words, the viewer has been there and seen and felt that very same thing.”

After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1981, Amy Chuckrow began studying with Paul Ingbretson in the atelier tradition of the Boston School. She spends most of her time working at Fenway Studios. Over the years, she has participating in several group shows, including the Powers Gallery, Acton; Jensen Fine Arts, Chestnut Hill; Gallery Five Hundred, Weston; The Guild of Boston Artists; and the East End Gallery, Nantucket.

Berio Gizzi was born in Abruzzo, Italy in 1932, came to Boston in 1936, where he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts 1959 – 1962. In the summer of 1962, Berio studied drawing with famed sculptor, George Demetrious, in Gloucester, MA. From 1962 – 1964 Berio attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence Italy, and traveled to various countries to study the Old Masters.

As his paintings reveal, Berio likes to juxtapose a variety of images. For example, “The Stairway,” includes rendering of a Van Eyke painting, one of his own landscapes, a photograph of his daughter, and a porcelain doll that can be seen in five other paintings in a series. The painting was done in oil on masonite.

With an emphasis on mark-making, écriture (scriptural gesture), manipulated symbols, and ancient/contemporary alphanumerics, Mr. Kelleher forms an expressive personal vocabulary. Visual language and markings in many forms are important design elements that are paraphrased and at times rendered abstractly or in an expressionistic manner to create a perception that is at once familiar and yet unknowable.

The work is often structured in a square framework and developed in a serial format; each component piece, however, exists as an independent work. Modest in scale with a monochromatic palette, these works forge a subtly compelling and contemporary graphic idiom, exemplifying a delicate balance of scale, medium, and process that invites scrutiny and contemplation.

There may be a suggestion of ancient writs or tablets whose messages have been obscured by time, the hint of an esoteric discourse, or an ambiguous, graffiti-like message that can be understood only by the rare initiated. These enigmatic works challenge the viewer to decipher the secrets within this artful domain, and encourage a thoughtful engagement and aesthetic encounter.

I attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1980. The body of my student work at the Museum School was created under the aegis of John Burns, head of the Technical Painting Department.

“Look Only to the Past and Lose an Eye. Forget the Past and Lose Both Eyes.”
This Old Russian proverb states a truism critical to cultural development. In my own work this proverb reflects the philosophical basis of my artistic sensibilities. I have spent most of my professional life trying to understand the “language” of the Masters of Western European painting. I believe that this language should not be forsaken as new and different languages develop. My goal is not to reproduce the masterpieces of the past, but to capture the contemporary using this established language.

The Camera Obscura's Place in Art History
The camera obscura's employment by artists of the 17th and 18th centuries is still a matter of speculation. Art historians still hotly dispute which artists used these optical tools.

These questions remain to be answered: When and by whom were they first used? What types of camera obscuras where utilized? How where they used by the artists of the past? By making accurate working models of the 17th and 18th centuries camera obscuras that would have been available to artists of that era, I can, and have, reconstructed how these cameras were used.

However, an accurate picture of their uses can only be gleaned by imposing strict limitation in the employment of these optical instruments. For example:

  1. Camera obscuras can only be used in either daylight or firelight and all the tools employed must be w ithin the established technology of the century to be examined.
  2. Fenway Studios gives me the ideal working space for this research. My studio is almost identical to the working spaces of artist from the past.

Please contact me for additional information concerning this significant, historic visual tool.

Yoshi Mizutani was born in Japan to an artistic family. He started to paint watercolors seriously by the age of ten, and by the age 16 he was trained in basic drawing techniques and introduced to oil painting. Driven by a strong desire for further training in the Western realistic tradition, Yoshi left Japan when he was 18 to study the Old Masters paintings in Italy, Spain and France. Subsequently, he relocated to the United States and spent seven years completing his studies with portrait painter Robert Cormier at the R.H. Ives Gammell Atelier. Yoshi then moved back to Spain where he executed many commissioned portraits while continuing his studies of the Old Masters, Velasquez and Sorolla in the Museums of Madrid. During this time, his works were exhibited in Barcelona galleries.

In the spring of 2001, Yoshi returned to Boston, where he now resides. His work utilizes academic drawing with an impressionistic palate.

Born in Connecticut, Jane now divides her time between Little Compton, RI and Boston. She received her BFA from Boston University School of Fine Arts in 1978. In 1986 Jane formed O'Hara Arts, a mural and decorative painting company.

In recent years Jane's studio work has reflected her passion for animals. With commissions of animal companions, donation of her artwork to animal groups, and paintings in shows, she is able to communicate her vision of the animal condition. Both the insensitivity or conversely, the pampering and casting of human traits onto animals by so many disturbs and intrigues Jane, and she comments on those tendencies with humor and irony in her artwork.

Gedas Paskauskas, a native of Rhode Island, began his art education in 1970 at the School of the Worcester Art Museum. After graduation, he continued with private study with Robert Douglas Hunter in Boston. In 1975, Gedas began a career as a commercial photographer and later as a mural artist. Co-founding Bopas, Inc., in 1981, a mural and decorative painting company, he branched out to form Gedas Paskauskas Studios, Inc. in 2005.

His personal work reflects his observation of nature, but transposes light and form to convey a more personal sentiment, reducing visual information to the elements of pure expression. Gedas divides his work and time between his studios in Boston and Little Compton, RI.

Artist statement:
My paintings are realistic interpretations of flowers, pensive figures, and architecture. The complexity and diversity of flowers fascinate and inspire me to attempt to capture the beauty of nature. I am also drawn to the textures and layers of color which surface on architecture after years of exposure. Color thrills me and I hope that my use of it brings pleasure to the viewer.

Amy Phillips Chuckrow spends her summers painting landscapes on Nantucket, where she has fallen in love with the many different light effects found on the Island. The Brant Point Lighthouse is one of her favorite spots to paint. “There is so much going on here,” she says, “whether it is the sun burning through early morning mist, or boats sailing by on a clear and windy afternoon. Sometimes there are white caps on the water and sometimes the water is still and translucent. When a plein air painter works outside, it’s impossible not to notice that the visual world changes constantly. The shadows grow longer or shorter. The goal of a landscape painter is to capture a particular visual moment by unifying the visual phenomena occurring around her. By creating a beautiful image, the artist evokes a feeling in the viewer that speaks a familiar language. In other words, the viewer has been there and seen and felt that very same thing.”

After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1981, Amy Chuckrow began studying with Paul Ingbretson in the atelier tradition of the Boston School. She spends most of her time working at Fenway Studios.

Berio Gizzi was born in Abruzzo, Italy in 1932, came to Boston in 1936, where he studied painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts 1959 – 1962. In the summer of 1962, Berio studied drawing with famed sculptor, George Demetrious, in Gloucester, MA. From 1962 – 1964 Berio attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence Italy, and traveled to various countries to study the Old Masters.

As his paintings reveal, Berio likes to juxtapose a variety of images. For example, “The Stairway,” includes rendering of a Van Eyke painting, one of his own landscapes, a photograph of his daughter, and a porcelain doll that can be seen in five other paintings in a series. The painting was done in oil on masonite.

With an emphasis on mark-making, écriture (scriptural gesture), manipulated symbols, and ancient/contemporary alphanumerics, Mr. Kelleher forms an expressive personal vocabulary. Visual language and markings in many forms are important design elements that are paraphrased and at times rendered abstractly or in an expressionistic manner to create a perception that is at once familiar and yet unknowable.

The work is often structured in a square framework and developed in a serial format; each component piece, however, exists as an independent work. Modest in scale with a monochromatic palette, these works forge a subtly compelling and contemporary graphic idiom, exemplifying a delicate balance of scale, medium, and process that invites scrutiny and contemplation.

There may be a suggestion of ancient writs or tablets whose messages have been obscured by time, the hint of an esoteric discourse, or an ambiguous, graffiti-like message that can be understood only by the rare initiated. These enigmatic works challenge the viewer to decipher the secrets within this artful domain, and encourage a thoughtful engagement and aesthetic encounter.

I was born in New York City in 1951. My family moved to a number of different locations on the northeast coast. I attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1980. The body of my student work at the Museum School was created under the aegis of John Burns, head of the Technical Painting Department. Over the years, I have taken part in exhibitions both local and out of state.

“Look Only to the Past and Lose an Eye. Forget the Past and Lose Both Eyes.”
This Old Russian proverb states a truism critical to cultural development. In my own work this proverb reflects the philosophical basis of my artistic sensibilities. I have spent most of my professional life trying to understand the “language” of the Masters of Western European painting. I believe that this language should not be forsaken as new and different languages develop. My goal is not to reproduce the masterpieces of the past, but to capture the contemporary using this established language.

The Camera Obscura's Place in Art History
The camera obscura's employment by artists of the 17th and 18th centuries is still a matter of speculation. Art historians still hotly dispute which artists used these optical tools.

These questions remain to be answered: When and by whom were they first used? What types of camera obscuras where utilized? How where they used by the artists of the past? By making accurate working models of the 17th and 18th centuries camera obscuras that would have been available to artists of that era, I can, and have, reconstructed how these cameras were used.

However, an accurate picture of their uses can only be gleaned by imposing strict limitation in the employment of these optical instruments. For example:

  1. Camera obscuras can only be used in either daylight or firelight and all the tools employed must be w ithin the established technology of the century to be examined.
  2. Fenway Studios gives me the ideal working space for this research. My studio is almost identical to the working spaces of artist from the past.

Please contact me for additional information concerning this significant, historic visual tool.

Yoshi Mizutani was born in Japan to an artistic family. He started to paint watercolors seriously by the age of ten, and by the age 16 he was trained in basic drawing techniques and introduced to oil painting. Driven by a strong desire for further training in the Western realistic tradition, Yoshi left Japan when he was 18 to study the Old Masters paintings in Italy, Spain and France. Subsequently, he relocated to the United States and spent seven years completing his studies with portrait painter Robert Cormier at the R.H. Ives Gammell Atelier. Yoshi then moved back to Spain where he executed many commissioned portraits while continuing his studies of the Old Masters, Velasquez and Sorolla in the Museums of Madrid. During this time, his works were exhibited in Barcelona galleries.

In the spring of 2001, Yoshi returned to Boston, where he now resides. His work utilizes academic drawing with an impressionistic palate.

Born in Connecticut, Jane now divides her time between Little Compton, RI and Boston. She received her BFA from Boston University School of Fine Arts in 1978. In 1986 Jane formed O'Hara Arts, a mural and decorative painting company.

In recent years Jane's studio work has reflected her passion for animals. With commissions of animal companions, donation of her artwork to animal groups, and paintings in shows, she is able to communicate her vision of the animal condition. Both the insensitivity or conversely, the pampering and casting of human traits onto animals by so many disturbs and intrigues Jane, and she comments on those tendencies with humor and irony in her artwork.

Gedas Paskauskas, a native of Rhode Island, began his art education in 1970 at the School of the Worcester Art Museum. After graduation, he continued with private study with Robert Douglas Hunter in Boston. In 1975, Gedas began a career as a commercial photographer and later as a mural artist. Co-founding Bopas, Inc., in 1981, a mural and decorative painting company, he branched out to form Gedas Paskauskas Studios, Inc. in 2005.

His personal work reflects his observation of nature, but transposes light and form to convey a more personal sentiment, reducing visual information to the elements of pure expression. Gedas divides his work and time between his studios in Boston and Little Compton, RI.

Artist statement:
My paintings are realistic interpretations of flowers, pensive figures, and architecture. The complexity and diversity of flowers fascinate and inspire me to attempt to capture the beauty of nature. I am also drawn to the textures and layers of color which surface on architecture after years of exposure. Color thrills me and I hope that my use of it brings pleasure to the viewer.

Oil Painting Classes
Afternoons and evenings, beginning September 14, 2010. Adult, all levels.
