Honoring: Stan Brodsky, Ann Pellaton and Ed and Karen Adler

Karen and Ed Adler
Karen and Ed Adler met while she was at Barnard and he was at Columbia Law School. They attended art and architecture survey courses together, among other dating venues. They married the year after graduating and in 1976 moved from Manhattan to Port Washington. After commuting to NYC together for a couple of years, Karen retired to raise their two children, both of whom are now Port homeowners with their families. Ed still commutes a few days each week to his Manhattan real estate investment and management office while serving as mayor of the Village of Sands Point for the past seven years.
Karen and Ed have been involved in supporting education and the arts for decades, both in Manhattan and in Port. They gave the lead gift to establish the Port Washington Library Foundation’s first endowment fund, and the income from their gift is dedicated to perpetuating the Library’s Art Gallery that bears their names and displays monthly exhibits of the outstanding work of local artists. Steps away, the new Spielman Children’s Library opened last year thanks to a successful capital campaign Ed chaired for the Library. They are enthusiastic supporters of the Guild’s programming and accomplishments.
Stan Brodsky
Born in Brooklyn, Stan Brodsky drew as a child but it was while serving in WWII that he came upon a small box of watercolors with brush, and he began illustrating his letters home. He was awarded the Bronze Star for rescuing a fellow soldier. Returning to the US, he studied at the University of Missouri School of Journalism he realized that he wanted to pursue art. Received an MFA from University of Iowa and a PhD in art education from Columbia University. Following 30 years of teaching at CW Post campus of Long Island University he was named professor emeritus of art. Brodsky has 20 solo shows, numerous group shows, awards and fellowships. He considers himself a post-abstract expressionist whose extensive travels have influenced his abstract landscape paintings. Stan works from his studio in Huntington NY and continues to teach artists.
Author of “The Uncertainty of Experience: An Artist’s Journey.” Post-Abstract Expressionist.
Ann Pellaton in Memorium
Ann Pellaton was a prolific artist who worked in a variety of media including watercolor, oil, etching, monoprint, and collage. Painting since the 1950s and etching since the 1970s, Ann received her Bachelor and Master degrees in Art from Queens College. She studied alongside notable artists including Barse Miller, Paul Wood, Aida Whedon, John Ferren and Angelo Longo. Ann’s travels to Africa, Italy, China, and Spain have inspired many of her works. She has exhibited throughout the United States, in Europe, Canada, Israel, and Egypt and received many awards from distinguished institutions such as the National Association of Women Artists, Heckscher Museum, Manhasset Art Association, and Audubon Artists. Listed in “Who’s Who of American Women,” Ann was the former president of the National Association of Women Artists, and a member of the Aquarelle Club, Manhasset Art Association, The Art Guild and a longtime member of the Art Advisory Council of the Port Washington Library. Her work is included in numerous private collections. Constantly experimenting with new materials and concepts, Ann was a long time member and supporter of The Art Guild. We have been proud to have her participate (and win awards) in our juried gallery exhibits.
Ann continued to work from her studio in Port Washington until shortly before her death in September 2018. She will be dearly missed..

Please join The Art Guild for our
Annual Membership Meeting
Thursday, October 18, 2018, 7 pm at Elderfields.
All members and friends are encouraged to attend.
Find out what’s been going on at The Art Guild this past year,
learn about new programs and opportunities. Introduction of new board members.
Refreshments will be available.
After the meeting: Demo: Painting on Black Canvas
with Artist and Instructor Joan Stevens
Painting on black canvas makes colors vibrate and adds a new dimension to your painting. It lends itself to both bright or moody paintings. Working from a photograph, Joan will demonstrate her approach to this dynamic technique.
Born in Brooklyn, Joan Stevens moved to Long Island in her teens. Joan works in oils but also sketches in charcoal and pencil. She graduated from St. John’s University with a degree in Fine Art and from there went to FIT to earn a degree in illustration. She has studied with Robert Baxter, Charles Pasqualina, Howard Rose, Kim English and Peggi Kroll Roberts. Joan has exhibited her work in group and solo shows throughout Long Island and has been commissioned for portraits and landscapes. She teaches oil painting on Tuesdays and monitors life drawing on Fridays at The Art Guild.
