Travels & Destinations
Landscapes, Still Lifes & Figurative Images of Other Worlds, Other Lands, Other Lives
March 5 – April 3, 2016
Reception Sunday March 6, 3-5 pm
Show us where you’ve been – near, far and far-out! Landscapes, still lifes and figurative images tell the story of our travels both real and imagined. Where have YOU been? Montauk, Maine or Mexico? The Moon or the Milky Way? We can’t wait to see your travelogue.
JUROR Paul David Elsen went to the High School of Art & Design where he studied drawing and painting under the late Irwin “Greeny” Greenberg and the noted portrait painter and book cover illustrator Max Ginsburg. After a number of career moves unrelated to art, encouraged by his wife Karmen in 2009, he once again turned his attentions to painting and drawing. Paul David has since studied with artists as diverse as Paul Bachem, Howard Rose, Marc Josloff, and Rob Silverman.
Paul has been awarded Best-In-Show Awards in exhibits at The National Art League and The Art League of Nassau County. He has been part of juried shows at The Heckscher Museum, Huntington Arts Council’s Main Street Gallery, My Gallery in Port Washington, the Art League of Long Island. Other exhibits include the Barnes Gallery in Garden City, a solo exhibit at the Colors Salon in Cold Spring Harbor, The Graphic Eye in Port Washington, the Tripani Gallery in Manhasset, and at the former Sovereign Bank in Forest Hills, Queens. Mr. Elsen has also contributed to group exhibits at the Locust Valley Library & a two-artist show with his wife Karmen Elsen at Cold Spring Harbor Library.
More on Mr. Elsen can be found at his website.

The Silkscreen Monotype with Water-Based Media
July 9-10, 2016 10 am – 3 pm
A Two Day Workshop
$150 Members/$180 Non-Members
Come discover this unique process that combines screen printing with drawing and painting techniques using water-based materials. Non-toxic, versatile and simple to master. Draw or paint directly on the silkscreen to create unique prints and explore the layering possibilities for overprinting on drawings, prints and other media.
Students will work from their own images using materials such as pastels, watercolor, gouache, watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, graphite and other materials. Students will need to purchase a reusable silkscreen and a squeegee. No prior experience or skill necessary.
Materials list provided at registration.
About Stephanie Navon-Jacobson:
As an artist, I am always observing the world around me. Whether floral, landscape, animal, or figure, abstract or realistic, my images always go back to nature. I am first and foremost a printmaker, although I work in other mediums, too. I am a printmaker who paints, rather than a painter who prints.
I was originally attracted to printmaking in college. I loved the studio community a
spect as well as the various techniques. I like to experiment with various techniques. The possibilities seem endless. I also like the element of surprise each time you pull a print.
It is so satisfying to work with people who are new to printmaking or to teach experienced artists a new technique and watch their enthusiasm as they ‘get bit by the printmaking bug.’ Printmaking is such a versatile medium. It can stand alone or be incorporated with other mediums such as oil or watercolor. I encourage my students to add printmaking to their artistic arsenal and incorporate it with their other artistic endeavors.

Works by Instructors, Studio Artists
& Board Members
As we come to the one year anniversary of reopening our doors, The Art Guild has created a “Thank You” Exhibit for the dedicated board members, studio artists and instructors, who stuck by us and helped us through the process. This show celebrates their hard work and dedication.
A range of styles and materials runs the gamut – from very traditional landscapes in oil to sculpture and printmaking to modern abstract mixed media.
A potluck reception will be held on Wednesday July 22 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm.
