  \nBlanche Guernsey is a Wyoming-based self-taught artist. She considers\
 nher artwork a voice reflecting her experiences and surroundings.\nFamily\
 , traditions\, and that sense of belonging are depicted\nthroughout her wo
 rk as she uses bold brushstrokes in oils to create\nstill-life paintings t
 hat inspire a universal feeling of nostalgia.\nFor this exhibit\, Blanche 
 will showcase eight oil paintings of novelty\nchildren’s games. Legos\, 
 Uno\, Yahtzee\, Scrabble\, and more serve as\nthe subjects of her images\,
  reverting viewers to more innocent times\nfull of play and imagination. R
 esiding in West Chester\, PA\, Karen\nMcCool is a self-taught artist who b
 egan her formal practice in 2019.\nShe’s interested in exploring the con
 cepts of memory and human\nconnection. She was so moved by her mother’s 
 reaction to old photos\n(her mother had dementia)\, that she began using t
 hem as reference.\nKaren seeks to illustrate connection through nostalgic 
 vignettes of\ndaily life. Characterized by humor\, the light-hearted rende
 rings are\ncreated in an alla prima style with bold color. Karen’s style
 \ninherently captures the essence of this exhibition\, as her retro\npaint
 ings provide the perfect throwback to moments past. Her scenes\nfeature ba
 ckyard barbecues\, energetic beach days\, and chilled\nbeverages consumed 
 straight from the bottle.   Nancy McIntyre\nattended the Rhode Island Sc
 hool of Design and found a passion for the\nsilkscreen printing process fr
 om Art Wood. Her silkscreens have\ndepicted man-made places\, like storefr
 onts and porches\, as well as\nnatural subjects\, like skies and birds. Sh
 e tries to persuade viewers\nto find beauty in the ordinary\, even in the 
 shabby\, especially when\nthe light is right. Nancy has also taught art fo
 r many years\, working\nin both schools and art leagues. Using multiple la
 yers of color on\neach image\, Nancy’s silkscreens are intricate recreat
 ions of vintage\nstorefronts and signage. She showcases her compositional 
 skills —\nparticularly in her ability to capture light — through her a
 rtistic\nreplication of glass reflections\, giving her paintings an almost
 \nphotographic quality.   John Schisler is an award-winning painter\nliv
 ing in Georgetown\, Delaware\, who takes much of his technique and\ninspir
 ation from classical masters\, such as Maroger\, Titian\, Rubens\,\nand Re
 mbrandt. Keeping with the tradition of the old masters\, he makes\nthe bla
 ck oil that is then used to make medium\, as well as oil paint\nby mixing 
 with powdered pigments. John takes the historic style of\nstill life paint
 ing and replaces the scene’s objects with wistful\ncontemporary icons li
 ke American flags\, baseballs and bats\, and\nsunflower seeds. There is a 
 grandness to his images\, which gives\nimportance to the everyday objects 
 he depicts.  A native Delawarean\,\nSharon Strine now resides in New York
  City. Her artwork has appeared\nin solo and group exhibitions\, galleries
 \, and art fairs up and down\nthe East Coast of the U.S. Although living i
 n the city provides a\nbombardment of inspiration\, Sharon will always lon
 g for the beach. In\nan instant\, she can be transported to her childhood 
 summers spent in\nLewes\, playing in the dunes\, crabbing\, and sailing. I
 n her artwork\,\nshe uses the sights and feelings of our shared human expe
 rience to\nmake meaningful connections. For “Nostalgia\,” she reminisc
 es on\nher life at the beach with her portraits of women enjoying the sand
 y\nshores\, dressed in classic bathing suits and cat-eyed sunglasses. \nV
