1987
Born in Baldwin, New York in 1935, Helen Rundell loved to draw the creeks and bay inlets of what was then a small country town, complete with its general store. By working in an egg tempera medium, the artist achieves a detail usually discovered only by the lens of a camera, capturing so many views of the Northeast while capturing our hearts. With uncompromising skill and a passion for detail, Helen Rundell has earned a reputation for being the most sought-after artist in the limited edition art market. Rundell succeeds in bringing her subjects to life with uncompromising precision and an innate passion for accuracy. "In some ways, I consider myself an oddity, I don't endure the arduous task of applying detail, I enjoy it,” says the artist. Despite the exacting technical demands Rundell places upon herself, she attributes her international acclaim to the deep emotion she brings to her art. Helen Rundell's work reflects a superbly detailed observation of nature coupled with her exceptional printmaking prowess. Her art allows the viewer to experience the beauty of her natural surroundings, in particular the rugged and charming beauty of the coast, forests, fields and farms of Maine. Helen Rundell's art has merited her many prestigious awards and exhibits in American embassies on four continents. Helen Rundell's prints can be found in the private collections of Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Ben Crenshaw, Curtis Strange, Tom Kite, Ray Floyd and former U.S. President Gerald R. Ford. It can also be found in prestigious public collections as the Smithsonian Institution, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Collection, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Farm to Table
By Maryann Lucas
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of farm-fresh goods laid on a table with a plaid picnic-print tablecloth. Maryann Lucas lives and works in Sag Harbor. She is primarily self-taught but has also received instruction and support from wonderful and generous members of the East End artistic community. Working exclusively in oils, Lucas sets out almost daily to create plein aire landscapes and seascapes. In her studio, she works directly from life and captures the beauty of natural light as it transforms ordinary objects into visual delights. Lucas wants her work to celebrate all that is well with this world and brilliant in this life, despite its pockets of darkness. For me, she says, I know I am in the Presence of something beautiful, when it steals my breath, silences my mind, pushes out everything else and draws me in. I trust That. I use That to guide my hands as I arrange a still life or scan a landscape to determine where to set down my easel. Ultimately, That is what drives me to paint. Becoming evermore skilled as an oil painter is another of Lucas goals. To that end she remains teachable, finding it refreshing and vital for her own growth to paint with others. She has studied with favorite artists including Michael Klein...
