SUMMARY:Local Strokes
DESCRIPTION:Diane Tremitiere Monaghan\nLocal Strokes\nWhat a little sandpaper and chalk can do\n \nArtist’s Statement\nWhen my family and I moved to Duxbury Massachusetts from Chicago\, I was stunned by the beauty that abounds here. I would like to inspire local residents to marvel at the colors all around them that they might take for granted\, whether it be an old mailbox\, shadows on the beach\, or a cranberry harvest in progress. My chosen medium is soft pastel on 400 grit sanded paper although I’ve worked in watercolor and acrylic. \nIt has been a particular joy to see my daughter Caitlin using her artistic talents in many ways – she chooses a subject and figures out how to turn it into a creative and beautiful gift for someone. Her results are amazing! \n

SUMMARY:"Fantastic Plastic"
DESCRIPTION:Fantastic Plastic\nby Donna Goes\nOn display at the Helen Bumpus Gallery of the Duxbury Free Library \nArtist’s Statement\nMy art begins with plastic bags and mesh produce sacks\, materials once destined for the landfill\, which I transform into layered compositions. Fused with heat and reworked through cutting\, layering\, and stitching\, these once-disposable materials are reborn as textured\, vibrant\, and playful images that shift between the abstract and the familiar. I love the idea that I can turn waste into something lovely to look at while rescuing a little waste from the landfill. \nIn addition to working with fused plastic\, I explore collage\, assemblage\, painting\, papier-mâché\, surface design and jewelry. You can see more of my work at Luckylifestudio.com \nAbout the Artist\nDonna Goes has exhibited widely across the South Shore\, including two recent solo shows: A Curious Mind at the South Shore Conservatory (2025) and Bags to Riches at the Paul Pratt Memorial Library (2023). Her work has also been featured in two-person exhibitions at Linden Ponds Art Gallery and the Dolphin & Clemen Galleries. Recognized for both innovation and craft\, Donna has received numerous awards\, including Best in Show at the Hull Lifesaving Museum’s Sea & Sky Juried Art Show (2023)\, multiple First Place and First Award Mixed Media honors from the Scituate Arts Association and Duxbury Art Association\, as well as distinctions from the South Shore Art Center and Hull Artists. \nAs a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design\, Donna spent much of her career as a toy designer for Hasbro before turning to her current medium: recycled plastic bags. Her artistic expression transforms ordinary plastic bags—materials destined for the landfill—into richly layered abstractions. \nA year-round resident of Hull since 2011\, Donna is an active member of Hull Artists\, South Shore Art Center\, North River Arts Society\, Scituate Arts Association\, Plymouth Center for the Arts and Duxbury Art Association. She shares her home studio and love of art with her husband\, Paul. \nWebsite: Luckylifestudio.com \nInstagram: @lucky_life_studio \n

SUMMARY:"Shared Realities"
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Bumpus Gallery presents\n“Shared Realities”\na collection of works by Artist Kerry W. Buckley\n  \nArtist’s Statement\nMy lifelong passion for painting and drawing became a full-time obsession when I retired from academic life in 2013.  I look upon art as more of a craft. For me\, the work itself is a form of meditation. It is a creative process that absorbs the heart and hand. My landscapes tend to reflect seasonal changes on the outer cape from the brooding tranquility of an autumn afternoon to the off-season\, when the bones of the landscape are laid bare. There is a quiet dignity to these empty places. They are unoccupied but not abandoned. They lie in wait for the next cycle to begin. I am drawn to liminal spaces\, a portal to somewhere else. I do not try to capture reality\, but a mood\, the fleeting light of a solitary moment. My still life paintings explore the rituals that give meaning to the random contingencies of life or the ambiguous innocence of childhoods past. There is a whimsical wistfulness about these mementos that evoke a lost time of wonder and delight. I seek to engage the viewer with a shared human emotion and a slice of lived experience preserved from the relentless flow of time. \nAbout the Artist\n \nAs a student\, Kerry W. Buckley won several statewide art competitions and initially considered a degree in fine art. He was offered\, but declined\, an art scholarship choosing to become an historian specializing in American History. Throughout his academic career he continued to draw and paint. While living in western Massachusetts he developed friendships with regional neorealist artists Scott Prior\, Randal Deihl and Jane Lund whose vision and techniques inspired his work. Since his retirement from academic life\, he has studied portraiture and painting at the Guild Art Center in Northampton\, MA\, classical painting technique with Barbara Johnson\, and indirect painting techniques with Julie Beck at the Academy for Realist Art. He is a Professional Artist member of the Copley Society of Art in Boston and is a Master Artist member of the Cape Cod Art Center. His work has been featured in competitive shows throughout New England and has received awards in national and regional shows. \nWebsite: www.kerrywbuckley.com \nInstagram: @kerrywbuckley

SUMMARY:Laura Harvey "Heat Wave"
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Bumpus Gallery presents\nLaura Harvey’s “Heat Wave”\n\nArtist Statement\nAs a mixed media artist\, I create intricately layered collages on a variety of substrates: from canvas and traditional birch panels to hollow-core doors. To intuitively create each piece\, I draw from an ever-evolving collection of media and vintage ephemera\, building layers using paint\, papers (found\, purchased and hand painted)\, acrylic mediums\, graphite\, photo transfers and more. I derive a storyteller’s satisfaction watching each piece evolve during the creative process – from the initial blur of an idea to a completed visual.

SUMMARY:A New Day
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Bumpus Gallery Presents\n“A New Day”\nby Denise Byrnes Graham\n  \nOn Display from November – December at the Helen Bumpus Gallery \n  \nArtist’s Statement\n“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 \nI 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. \nThe 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. \nMy 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. \n  \nDenise 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.      \ndenise.b.graham@gmail.com \ndenisebyrnesgraham.com \ninstagram.com/denisegrahamart \n

SUMMARY:Stories Told: Oil Paintings by Gail Nathanson
DESCRIPTION:On Display now through the month of December at the Helen Bump Gallery at the Duxbury Free Library.  Please stop in to view during the Library’s normal business hours \n\nArtist’s Statement\nGail Nathanson is a professional oil painter who paints both on location\, as well as in her studio. \n“What interests me the most\, as a visual artist\, is to tell a story of the familiar.  I am moved to paint images of the ordinary and unexceptional.  Glimpses into the unremarkable corners of life are what inspire me.  When I paint\, I act as a storyteller\, often leaving viewers with the task of filling in the blanks or finishing the story for themselves.   I don’t want to give away too much detail\, but enough to get the viewer started.  One of the greatest influences on my work is the American painter\, Edward Hopper. I look for high contrast on my subject matter and render the images in such a way that the viewer can place the light source by reading the shadows and the play of light.” \n \nArtist’s Bio\nArtist Gail Nathanson has been juried into many local and national exhibits\, including most recently\, The Philadelphia Sketch Club’s prestigious juried national “Small Oils Works” and over the years various national figure exhibitions\, juried by Robert Liberace\, Joanna Harmon and Juan Jr. Ramirez\, among others.   She has received many awards for her figurative work\, as well as for her beachscapes and cityscapes.  She is a member of various art guilds and societies and has shown in a number galleries.  Gail has her own studio and gallery in Hingham\, Massachusetts and can be contacted through her website: www.gailnathansonpaintings.com

SUMMARY:September - October 2023: Duxbury Camera Club
DESCRIPTION:Duxbury Camera Club\nMinimalist Focus Group\nSimplicity\n\nArtists’ Statement\nMinimalism in photography is all about “less is more.” It is about stripping a subject down to its bare essentials and creating photos that are a celebration of austere simplicity. \nAs minimalist photographers\, we not only strive to keep our compositions clean and simple but we also honor the boundaries and rules that are common to the minimalist genre. For example\, motifs that you will often see displayed in our works include: geometric shapes\, repeating patterns\, bold lines and textures. We also apply techniques such as: intentional blurring and the use of B&W\, or Monotones\, to help with eliminating the details. \nWhen we started our Minimalist Focus Group a few years ago\, many of us were new to the genre. We initially found it to be daunting to try and maintain the right balance of drama and interest in a simple “bare-bones” photograph. If we removed too little…our image would not be considered  minimalist. However\, if we removed too much…the intent and drama of the photo would ultimately be lost. \nOver time\, we studied various minimalist artists and increased our knowledge on the subject. This helped our work to evolve. Now\, our minimalist photographs are not only simple compositions but they are well thought out photographs that convey our own personal story\, point of view\, and unique style. \nOur exhibition\, Simplicity\, is the culmination of all that we have learned over the past several years about Minimalist Photography. We hope you enjoy our exploration of these simple subjects and can share in our delight at finding their true essence. \n  \n           \nExhbiting Artists:\n\n\nBarbara Canney\, Cohasset \nJudy Laliberte\, Duxbury \nJudith Montminy\, Duxbury \n\n\nCamille Neville\, Duxbury \nRandy Otto\, Hingham \nGlenn Pollock\, Marshfield \n\n\nJudy Pollock\, Marshfield \nRain Rodolph\, Marshfield \nMyrna Walsh\, Duxbury \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Between Earth and Sky
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Bumpus Gallery presents\nBetween Earth and Sky\nSoft Pastels by\nDonn Rossetti-Bailey\nArtist Statement\nThe wonder of nature and the seasons\, the weather\, the ocean\, and the transitions of our beautiful landscape have always been an inspiration for my artwork. I love the vistas and tucked away places I discover along roads less traveled. I am especially moved by those places where air\, water and earth meet and those moments when nature blesses us with visual and spiritual images that take our breath away…the rising of the sun\, snow flakes falling from the heavens\, the crashing of waves during a storm or their soft lapping of the shoreline on a calm summer morning. They remind us of the power and beauty of nature and the importance of appreciating the world around us every day.  May you find joy in both the permanence and transience of Mother Nature. \n– Donna Rossetti-Bailey \n

DESCRIPTION:Helen Bumpus Gallery\npresents\nLynne\nShackleton\nFord\nOctober/December 2022\nThis exhibit includes many examples of the real world being altered through Infrared\, digital painting\, lightbox transparency and studio photography.  While I still enjoy traditional landscape\, flower and nature photography\, I am drawn to the possibilities compositing offers to simply “create” and explore conceptual themes\, environments and emotion. \nPlease visit my website to see more of my work: www.lynneford.com \n

SUMMARY:Seasonal Expressions - Art by Laurinda Phakos O'Connor
DESCRIPTION:The Helen Bumpus Gallery Presents\nLaurinda Phakos O’Connor\n  \nArtist’s Statement & Bio\nAs a pastel artist\, I strive to let simplified strokes of color and line create a path into a scene and moment in time. I push myself to capture the sense I feel from the landscape as well as to create the up-close excitement of color\, texture\, and expression on the surface of my paper. laurindaoconnor.com

SUMMARY:Light & Process
DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Statement – STILL LIFE\nIn my studio are southwest facing windows. The light streams in at varying angles during the course of the year and I am mesmerized by the way it transforms whatever it hits to make it exceptional. The objects and space change each minute the level of light moves across the plane. I find myself intensely observing and absorbing the changes as if I were watching a movie. At times\, all I can do is stand in intense study and watch the light work its magic—all of the sudden hours have passed. \nIn my process\, I am struck by a particular subject—Light and the way it affects objects\, Light as it hits a sur- face and moves across it\, the color of Light. I study the motif through drawings and paintings to see where it leads. Working in series helps me explore subtle elements in the composition. I am constantly questioning what I am seeing and doing. The work develops through reworking\, redrawing\, turning the substrate I am working on and imposing images on top\, scraping\, sanding\, adding and subtracting media. Through this process\, they reveal a history of the workings\, as in a palimpsest. I try not to hold anything precious. \n\nArtist Bio\nKim Alemian was born in Spokane\, WA. Her formative years were spent in Hong Kong\, Thailand\, West Germany and Scituate\, MA.

SUMMARY:"Flights" by Patricia Bossange
DESCRIPTION:The Featured Artist for the Months of January and February at Duxbury Free Library is\, Patricia Bossange\nArtist’s Statement\nI am a painter and a musician who possesses two degrees in English literature. In trying to piece together how these disparate elements influence my art\, I realize I have always wanted to be part of something beautiful and add to the dialogue of creativity. When I think about why I paint what I paint\, I realize that whether I am painting a landscape or a portrait of my daughter\, I am really just attempting to paint light and the passage of time\, and their effects on the people and objects in my life. It is a perpetual challenge – what could be more difficult and elusive than capturing a trick of light\, or a moment in time? \nThus\, I am always striving to improve – which is why I study with the amazing Carol O’Malia (omalia.com). \nI am currently focusing on oil painting but I also work in various other media such as acrylics\, pastel\, ink\, and pencil\, as well as collages with made with strips of paper. \nI sell my work via my website\, patriciabossange.com and by commission. Contact: pbossange@gmail.com. \nThank you\, Helen Bumpus Gallery\, for this opportunity. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s much more beneath and to come. \n\nArtist Bio\nPatricia Bossange is an artist working in Framingham\, MA.
