Statement from Artist: My recent oil paintings are freely inspired by 19th-century French poet Charles Baudelaire’s radical verses from his revolutionary collection, Les Fleur du Mal. I find stimulation in Baudelaire’s lush, seductive language conjuring jarring juxtapositions of naïveté and corruption, indulgence and malaise, vitality and melancholy. Through these works I have endeavored, like Baudelaire, to extract beauty from evil. These are not pretty florals; they are influenced by the mood that pervades these poems– infatuating beauty mixed with quiet despair. All titles of paintings in this exhibit are quotations from Baudelaire’s poems.
Biography: Scott Ketcham is a figurative painter with a studio at the Sandpaper Factory in Rockland, MA. He was a student of William Schultz, Clement Micarelli, and many others; he holds a Bachelor of Arts from Williams College and a Master of Fine Arts from Johnson State University. He is a Professor of Visual Arts at Massasoit Community College. His work can be viewed at www.scottketcham.com andwww.instagram.com/scottwketcham

Nancy Hayes: Thought Translated into Form
2024-11-10 00:00 - 2025-02-09 23:59 | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
November 10, 2024 – February 9, 2025
Reception: November 10, 2024, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Nancy Hayes’ paintings speak to how her brain organizes space, pattern, color, and form. Although considered abstract, both her sculptures and paintings depict aspects of worlds unseen. Rather than an expression of frenzy, they depict highly organized ecosystems where each part is dependent on the whole. The unity and interdependencies speak to the building blocks of matter as well as a spiritual presence that leaves us wondering.
Hayes’ work is included in the collections of the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, the Danforth Museum, the Dublin School and the New Bedford Libraries as well as many private collections. Raised outside Philadelphia, Hayes currently resides on the South Coast of Massachusetts.
Shown: Nancy Hayes, Beyond #2, 2022, acrylic on panel

Water Music - Joan Appel

North River Arts presents
Water Music
by Joan Appel
Join us in celebrating Joan Appel at the Dolphin Gallery in Hingham, on display November 2 – December 5. All are welcome to the opening reception on Friday, November 7, 5:30-7:30PM.
I am both a professional musician and artist. Although trained as a classical musician, art-making has always been a very important part of my life. I have created art alongside my university and conservatory study as well as when I was performing in the United States and Europe. I feel that the execution of a painting becomes a personal performance, different from interpreting someone else’s poetry in song as I am expressing my own poetry in color, shape and texture. Oil painting and monotype printmaking remain my primary form of artistic expression.
These pieces in the exhibit Water Music bridge my love of sailing, the seashore, (and all things watery) and my love of music and performance.
I am a prize-winning exhibitor with various galleries and art associations throughout the U.S. Some of my training has been at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, DeCordova Museum, Paier College of Art and I am a member of, (to name a few) the National Association of Women Artists, American Impressionist Society, Monotype Guild of New England, North River Arts Society and I am a gallery artist at the Cape Cod Art Center.
As a musician, I have degrees from Syracuse University, the New England Conservatory and Lesley University. I performed as a coloratura soprano soloist with choruses in the New England area, France and Switzerland. Presently I am the Music Minster at the Linden Ponds Community Church and teach piano to adults and children in my Marshfield MA studio.

“A New Day”
by Denise Byrnes Graham

On Display from November – December at the Helen Bumpus Gallery

Artist’s Statement
“One can make a day of any size and regulate the rising and setting of his own sun and the brightness of its shining.” John Muir
I love this quote by the naturalist John Muir because it reminds me of how fortunate I am to be an artist. Every day is a new day to channel what I am experiencing on to paper or canvas. Fiery sunsets, the calm of an overcast day, gorgeous clouds… it brings me joy to witness such splendor.
The beauty of the natural world is my inspiration to paint. I find the changing seasons of New England magical with their beautiful light, color and texture. The fields, woods, rivers and coastline are sacred places to wonder and paint.
My work is varied in approach and process. I paint in different mediums: pastel, oil, and acrylic. When painting abstractly, my approach is more intuitive and loose and I use acrylic or oil. With pastels, my paintings are representational and detailed. Whether I am painting representatively or abstractly, I try to capture the mood, emotion, and luminosity of what I am seeing and feeling.

Denise is a gallery artist at South Shore Art Center Cohasset MA, Framers Edge in Quincy MA, and the Russell Gallery at Plymouth Center for the Arts. She is a member of Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod, North River Arts Society, Marshfield MA, Duxbury Art Association, and the Tuesday Plein Air Painters.
