Christine Bodnar’s passion for painting is deeply intertwined with her fascination with color and how it can change the mood and feeling of a moment. She is a contemporary realist with an expressive style, and relies on the light she encounters painting en plen air to set the drama of color, shadow, and the rhythm in a composition. She balances her time creating acrylic paintings, pastel on paper, and teaching. Bodnar lives in Marshfield, paints in Rockland and exhibits her work nationally.

    Ken Shannon is driven to find and transform often overlooked, natural materials. Each weathered piece of driftwood holds a unique story of inherent beauty, change, and renewal. Inspired by the raw textures, organic forms, and the rich history of the ocean and its shores, Shannon engages with each uncut piece. By assembling and giving new life to these found materials, Shannon invites viewers to appreciate the art in nature’s transformative power and reflect on our own connection to environmental cycles. Shannon lives and works in Cohasset.

    Suzette Lebenzon allows herself complete license to create images that interest her, crafting visual poems that express her wishes, feelings, and experiences on Cape Cod and around the South Shore where she grew up. She embraces a bold, expressive style of mark-making that is deeply tied to memory and is unconcerned with accurately representing a specific place. Recently, exploring reflective water surfaces and the surrounding vegetation has captivated her. Lebenzon lives and paints in Welfleet; she exhibits her paintings on the Cape, South Shore and NY.
