March Avery

March Avery most likely drew before she talked. Daughter of renowned American painter Milton Avery, March was trained to paint by her father at a young age. She has maintained a painting studio in New York City for many years where she continues to paint. Her style is very much in the Avery tradition, but with a directness and eloquence unique to herself. She paints landscapes on large canvases emphasizing broad areas simplified in both color and form. Her colors range from vibrant to subtle. She utilizes unique gestural strokes of paint to bring detail to her work. She does figurative work, still lifes, and playful paintings of animals, drawing inspiration from her farm in New England and the New York City Zoo. Her work can be found in many museums and private collections throughout the United States.

Joan Griswold

Joan Griswold’s paintings are explorations of light and the atmosphere light creates as it falls on both exterior surfaces (i.e. buildings) and interior spaces (i.e. bedrooms or work spaces. Most of her work dispenses with details which detract from the mood sunlight creates as it falls on these surfaces and in these spaces. She is capable of capturing the beauty of the patterns light creates on architectural forms as well as the ambiance of the light streaming through a door or window into a private interior space. Her brushwork is seen but its fleeting quality seems to reinforce the passing moment - missed if not brought to our attention by her. She has been exhibiting her work for over twenty years in solo and group exhibitions. Her work has been written about extensively in major art publications and is collected both privately and publicly.

Joseph Sheppard

Joseph Sheppard has been painting and sculpting for over fifty years. His subject matter ranges from traditional "nature morte" (still lifes) reminiscent of the seventeenth century Dutch painters to gritty urban realism a la "the Ashcan School" of the early twentieth century. His most recent traveling exhibition entitled "Beast of Burden" was a kind of journalistic expose in paint of the working men, women (and children) around the world. The viewer will find no abstraction in Sheppard’s work, the artist firmly believing that the content of painting must proceed from, reflect, and involve the visible world - whether beautiful in the traditional sense or be the reflection of the ugliness of the real world. Sheppard’s work is in the permanent collection of museums worldwide - most recently in the National Portrait Gallery. He has written several books on human anatomy for artists, and is a staunch adherent of the classical traditions in art. The University of Maryland is in the process of opening a museum dedicated to his work.

William Woodward

William Woodward’s work is well-known in Washington, D.C. and beyond. He firmly established himself in Washington, D.C. as the head of the painting department at George Washington University. He also established himself as one of the premier muralists in the country during those years. He maintains himself as both an easel painter and a muralist. He maintains a studio in Brittany, France, where he is inspired to paint the colorful European street cafes and markets, as well as the dramatic landscapes of that region. His work is realistic yet not over-worked, with more interest in arresting those fleeting moments of light and color which bring the viewer back to some prior reminisence. Woodward’s paintings are in both private and public collections. His most recent mural has been installed at the "Lincoln Cottage" on the grounds of the Old Soldiers’ Home in Washington, D.C., and he is currently working on a mural for Thomas Jefferson’s home at Monticello.
