Artist Demonstration with David Curtis · Sunday, July 12, 2–4pm

Wandering

“Wandering”
David Curtis

David Curtis was introduced to painting at an early age by his father, marine artist Roger W. Curtis, and took art classes from his uncle, Howard Curtis, while a student at Gloucester High School. He grew up surrounded by the painters — and paintings — of Cape Ann, an area noted for its artistic antecedents. During this period, Curtis also attended weekend classes at Mass College of Art and received criticism from artist Ken Gore. Curtis has also studied part-time with Robert Douglas Hunter.

Primarily an out-of doors landscape painter, Curtis has won numerous awards for his work, including Yankee Magazine’s Robb Sagendorph Memorial Award (Copley Society of Boston), two A. T. Hibbard Memorial Awards for Landscape from the Rockport Arts Association, two Frank Benson Awards and two Margueritte Neuhauser Shaffer Memorial Awards from the North Shore Arts Association. His work is shown and collected internationally, and he is listed in Who’s Who in the East.

 

Meet The Artist Exhibit featuring Holly Chin · Hallway Gallery · July 4–26

work by Holly Chin

Holly Chin

Each month the MAA features an artist member in the Hallway Gallery which we hope gives the public an opportunity to “Meet the Artist” through a sampling of their work and their biography. July’s featured artist is Holly Chin. In her own words: “Formal art education was at Vesper George, after which I worked as a commercial artist/graphic designer in many venues over many years. Now free of those constraints and am experimenting. Perhaps my background influences my love of collage. It is hard-edge and direct with emphasis on design . . . some a satirical look at modern culture, but always reducing the subjects to their essential forms. I delight in pushing shape, color and volume around until it satisfies my visual vocabulary. I use color and design to reduce my subjects to make a visual statement.”
