Morris Bennett
His paintings are an amalgam of styles derived from the history of visual arts and organic and mechanical forms. The titles of his paintings are mostly chosen at random because he does not wish to tell the viewer what he or she should experience.

Chevonne Ariss

Clinton Smith
Inspired by nature in my surroundings in Berkshire County, I have been creating my art in the forms of paperweights, blown glass, sculptural, and lampworked glass for the last 16 years.
Sean McCusker
Living in the quiet town of Becket, MA, Sean McCusker has developed a kinship with the solitude of the hilly landscape around him. Focusing this in his artwork he develops striking surreal landscapes full of color and mystery. “I wanted to capture that moment of intensity just before or right after something extraordinary happens; that sense of either surrender to the inevitable or relief after a hard-fought battle.”
Mark Mellinger
In the '60s, I studied at Cooper Union Art School. I worked in commercial art, biology research and psychology. While continuing my practice of psychoanalysis in New York City, I relish my return to, and immersion in the nonverbal realm of painting, collage and construction, half the week in the Berkshires.
Ilene Spiewak
Ilene Spiewak engages colors in a fearless application of paint as if they were having an intimate conversation; the discourse is passionate. Spiewak paints in ways that embody sensitivity, vulnerability, and fragility; she makes images of objects to trace beyond a replica of her own life. When painting, whether still-life or figure, everyday things become objects for her gaze. Spiewak’s work is driven by subconscious instincts and her life- long love of paint.
Katherine Borkowski-Byrne
Katherine studied painting at the Boston School of the Museum of Fine Arts. She maintains that painting is its own language that speaks from within. She has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows and has been recognized with awards and reviews.
Susan Robinson
Susan is a graphic designer, illustrator, and fine artist living in the hills of Peru, MA. Her work is inspired by interesting things that just happen to stand out to her during a day - patterns & textures, stories, quirky people or animals, and of course, her children.
Bonnie Spencer
Inspired by her forays into the woods from childhood, Bonnie Spencer creates images that have been called "peaceful" and "welcoming". As a disabled senior citizen, she now escapes into the woods and fields in her paintings.
Jesse Tobin McCauley
Jesse Tobin McCauley is a painter and graphic designer working in the Berkshires. Her paintings are acrylic on canvas — bursts of bold, bright, saturated color — that evoke a feeling of happiness through the flood of interacting abstract color, finding the beauty in the chaos of color and shape.
Linda Kaye-Moses
Linda Kaye-Moses has been a studio jeweler since for over 40 years, exhibited nationally in galleries and at juried craft shows, and has taught nationally and internationally since 1996.
Muriel Angelil
