Biography/Statement
Sean M. Witucki (b. 1977) obtained his BS and MS in Visual Art Education from the State University of NY at Buffalo State. Sean is primarily a self-taught artist, who is always focused on developing his skills in the techniques of the traditional masters. He has been a drawing and painting instructor at the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts since 2002.
Sean reveals a personal and contemporary expression of landscapes and still lives which pay homage to his formative years. He spent much of his boyhood roaming the fields and woods on the edge of the Berkshire Mountains in Monson, Massachusetts. This is where his understanding of the natural world took its roots. This influence plays a major role in the subjects of Sean’s works.
In 2016 Sean had the honor of becoming a Hudson River Fellow with the Grand Central Atelier. This experience has greatly influenced his work.

Biography/Statement
John Williamson was a versatile artist who created still lifes, genre scenes, and landscapes during the heyday of the Hudson River School. Born in Scotland, Williamson came to the United States with his family in 1831. He spent most of his life in Brooklyn, New York, studying art at the Brooklyn Institute and helping to found the Brooklyn Art Association.
Williamson was particularly drawn to mountain scenery and made frequent painting trips to the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains, as well as the Berkshire Mountains, White Mountains, and Green Mountains of New England. His intimate, poetic views drew from the atmospheric style of the Luminists and bear comparison to the works of John Frederick Kensett and Sanford Robinson Gifford.
In the mid-nineteenth century, his vivid depictions of nature earned a great deal of recognition, and Williamson was named an Associate at the National Academy of Design in 1861. He exhibited there regularly, and featured his paintings at the American Art-Union, the Utica Art Association, and in galleries throughout Boston and Washington. His work is now in The Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Hudson River Museum, and the Maier Museum of Art, among other prominent institutions.
