Biography/Statement
Leslie Gabosh has been a working artist for over 40 years, painting still life as well as designing and fabricating jewelry. As a painter, her inspiration has been the 17th century and 18th century Dutch and Flemish paintings of the Golden Age, Spanish paintings of the 18th century, and the 19th century American painters. “My subjects are the incidentals of daily life. When I study the paintings of Adriaen Coorte, Willem van Aelst, and Luis Melendez, I see similar concerns and delights.”
Gabosh also enjoys the addition of contemporary subjects that add a whimsical touch and resonate with her aesthetic sensibility. Historically, translucence and luminosity of natural objects have appealed to artists and viewers; they relay a sense of tranquility and serenity that cancels out the noise of everyday chaos. A moment of quiet reflection can produce a calm and meditative perspective on these ordinary and highly recognizable objects.
“My work is painted from life with intentionally organized and illuminated arrangements. Some objects come from my own garden where I have a deep and long-standing relationship with my trees and plants. These small-format panels catch the eye from across the room and compel the viewer to move closer. Although these are unremarkable objects, they are a pathway to thoughts and memories, and a window into the world of the artists who inspire me.”

Biography/Statement
At one time, Alta West Salisbury was considered one of America’s leading landscape and still life painters. She was born in Darnestown, Maryland and went on to study at the Corcoran School of Art, under Cullen Yates and Leon Dabo in New York, and at the Fontainebleau School of Fine Art in France.
The artist was active in Washington, D.C. until 1904 and after that in New Rochelle, New York where she was a founding member, in 1920, of the New Rochelle Art Association. There, artists met in the studio of Alta Salisbury to create an association to “set an educational standard in the fine arts and promote interest in art in the community.” She was also a noted art educator and lecturer.
Salisbury was a member and a regular exhibitor of numerous art organizations, including the National Association of Women Artists, the National Academy of Design, the Brooklyn Society of Artists and the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club of New York, winning numerous prizes.

Biography/Statement
Prentice later turned to painting still-life subjects when he moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1883. He was a member of the Brooklyn Art Association and frequently exhibited his paintings there. In addition to his artistic talents, Prentice also designed his own frames and made his own brushes and palettes.
Prentice’s fruit still lifes are compositions are intended to create dramatic contrasts. The shift between dark background areas and the vibrant hues of the fruit are done to give the compositions an exciting, visual energy. The fruit is presented with clarity and precision. An emphasis is placed on the idea of man vs. nature. The wooden baskets with hand wrought nails represents a structured, man-made object, while the overly ripe fruit represents the fleeting qualities of nature.
These paintings also demonstrate Prentice’s remarkable skills at rendering color, form, and texture. Noted art historian, William H. Gerdts observed: “there are several works by Prentice in which he achieves a quality of illusionism which is unsurpassed.” (1)
In 1993, the skillful ‘illusionism’ of Levi Wells Prentice was celebrated in a retrospective exhibition at the Adirondack Museum in New York. His works continue to receive a high degree of appreciation by collectors today. His works are represented in many museums including the New York State Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Montclair Art Museum, Philbrook Museum of Art and Yale University Art Gallery.

Biography/Statement
Greg English has a natural eye for light source and believes knowing “how to blend light and shadow” is the key to drawing the observer into his paintings.
Viewing Greg’s work one would never believe that has had no formal training. His passion for detail and realism surfaces around the age of 10 as he drew and sketched everything that caught his eye.
Today, trained by experience and natural ability, Greg English’s oil paintings of Native American pottery, as well as his pencil drawings of a variety of subjects, are examples of conviction, understanding and dedication of both interpretation and realism.
Raised in Arizona, but born in Illinois, Greg has always been exposed to art and creativity. His mother is the famed Cheryl English, and oil color artist showing in galleries throughout the Southwest, as well as numerous shows around the country and in Japan. Joel English, Greg’s father, ran his own award winning advertising agency in Phoenix for 15 years.
In May of 1998, Greg participated in the Phippen Memorial Art Show in Prescott, AZ where he captures a 2nd place prize in “oils” and a 3rd place prize in “People’s Choice Award”.

Biography/Statement
Bryant Chapin was born, lived, painted and died in Fall River, Massachusetts, though he did travel on occasion to Europe, where he painted landscapes. But he was primarily a still-life painter and sometime portraitist as one of the group of Fall River artists.
Fruit was Chapin’s primary still-life subject, depicted with atmospheric* form and light, and high-key color, and placed on complexly-constructed tables whose shiny surfaces enhanced their reflections. The sense of presence and mystery he brought to these paintings was much appreciated by the public.
Chapin later placed his softly, atmospherically conceived still-lifes in an outdoor setting, as if the berries he favored as subject matter had recently been picked and were lying on the ground or in boxes.
In Chapin’s younger days in Fall River, Robert S. Dunning was his teacher, and, not surprisingly, Chapin was influenced by the more experienced artist. When Chapin grew older, he also became a well-known speaker and teacher at the Fall River Evening Drawing School* in his hometown.
Bryant Chapin’s paintings are represented in the Fall River Public Library.
