An award-winning artist, Maryalice Eizenberg has been drawing and painting all of her life. She completed coursework at the Worcester and Spring?eld Fine Arts museums, earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree at Clark University, and studied with painters John Cosby, Donald Demers, Kim English, Daniel Keys, Gregg Kreutz, Joseph Paquet, and Charles Sovek. Dramatic patterns of light and color are what attract her most to a subject. It is her emotional response to these elements that she strives to share with the viewer.
 

Eizenberg has been featured in Cape Cod Life and Chatham magazines and "The Creative Spirit, Art in Chatham's Old Village.” Her work appears in Contemporary Cape Cod Artists: People and Places by Deborah Forman. She teaches at the Creative Arts Center in Chatham, and is a member of Oil Painters of America, and Twenty One in Truro. Her work has been shown in museums on and o? the Cape. Her work is held in private collections in the United States, Europe and Japan.
 

Truro artist Amy Sanders paints richly detailed paintings, capturing the serenity and beauty of nature. She portrays the power of the ocean and bay, the peaceful and fragile landscape of the pine woods and dunes, the intricacies of tidal pools, the joy of beach goers, and the changing atmosphere of the Outer Cape.
 

Amy is a pastelist. As a dry pigment, using skillful layering of the pastels allows light to bounce among the particles creating the radiance and intricacy that define her work. An award-winning artist, Amy is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, and a respected art juror in the art show circuit. Her work resides in collections throughout New England and abroad.

“While painting I become drawn into the scene. It’s an extraordinary sensation where I can feel the sand between my toes, smell the salt air, or hear the roar of the ocean. To bring that sensation to others is my primary goal.
 

"I paint and am not a professional photographer because of the unique difference that painting brings to the scene. Many work is highly realistic, with edges softer and colors richer than photographs. There is also a depth that one does not find in a photograph. Objects in the distance have smoother edges and less detail — more typical of how the eye sees than a camera. While I often use photographs for reference, there is a richer emotion from the spectacular beauty of a scene when creating painting, that I hope carries through to the viewer.” —Amy Sanders
