October featured Artist – Michael McSorley
October 3, 2026 · by ·
Our featured artist in October is Michael McSorley. Mike is another Paint Snow Hill participant who is a “returnee.” After I discovered he and his wife had moved to Milford, DE in 2022, it seemed appropriate to bring him back to show how his artwork goes well beyond plein air painting.
Mike is a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Fine Art with Concentration in Painting. His post graduate education includes “Advanced Painting,” with Ray DeFazio at Seton Hill College, Greensburg, Pa. But Mike’s creative journey started when he was a child fascinated by ordinary, everyday objects he photographed and continued to draw through his student years. School notebooks indicated how he managed classroom bordedom with this fascination that still inspires his work and paintings in this show. Check his achievements to see all he has accomplished in Pennsylvania, Virgina, Washington, D.C., Maryland and Delaware.
His exhibit is here until November 1.
June Featured Artist – Andrea Baldeck, Fine Art Photographer
June 18, 2026 · by ·
For Bishop’s Stock June means exhibiting the fine art photography of Andrea Baldeck. Our intent has never been to ignore photography as a visual art. The challenge has been to find a visual artist whose photographs capture the aesthetics of subjects in a creative not literal way using light and depth of field just as an artist creates a painting focusing on compositon and narrative using light and depth of field. Photographers and painters reach similar visual goals fundamentally different in execution. Baldeck brings an opportunity to experience this visual medium.
In the early 1990’s Baldeck was drawn to photography after leaving her profession as an anethesiologist. Her portfolio of black and white photographs includes portraiture, still life, landscapes and photographic essays which have been published in 8 books. She has created botanical essays and has documented different landscapes and communities. Her exhibit with us, “Tideland,” reflects her time spent at her home on Chincoteague Island.
May Featured Artists – Lynne Lockhart & Kirk McBride
April 2, 2026 · by ·
It is a pleasure to have the work of Lynne LOckhart and Kirk McBride for staying with us thorugh May. Warmer weather seems to be here to stay – fingers crossed. Bishop’s Stock show of New Work by Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride is a favorite of many patrons. Since opening in April, and due to sold paintings, there is new work to enjoy.
Since 2007 Lynne and Kirk have been featured artists in April. Each year they have been gracious to share with our patrons paintings that come out of their studios in the past year. Both are full-time artists, always found in their studios when I stop by. Lynne does tend to their beautiful garden as Kirk finds time to ride the waves but being outdoors provides inspiration and images to take back to their studios.
This year’s exhibit includes familiar animal paintings by Lynne. As with “Big Kitty” shown below, Lynne gives her animals their own stage. Not surprisingly, Kirk’s paintings capture marshes and coastal images with the beautiful light of sunrises and sunsets. There is no doubt Kirk finds inspiration in a single tree or a stretch of marsh or sand. Check their albums on our Facebook page to see some of the paintings in the show which will be in the gallery through May.

March Featured Artist – Nancy Richards West & Jim Rehak
March 1, 2026 · by ·
Our March show is one that shows signs of spring like Nancy Richards West’s series of small mixed media paintings of birds in gilded settings. Those who know Nancy’s work are familiar with her versatility. Her paintings in the front of the gallery are a combination of oil paintings and sumi-e watercolors. Her subjects are observations found in and around Chincoteague.
In the back of the gallery plein air paintings by Jim Rehak are featured. Jim is an artist we enjoy showing before he takes off for plein air events throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. He selects where and what he paints by the composition he sees. He always brings seasonal changes to his paintings. The work of other gallery artists – Keith Whitelock, Helene English, Eva Carson and Lois Engbeg – are also being shown.

December Featured Artists – Barbara Beauchamp, Lois Engberg & Kathryn Engberg
October 31, 2025 · by ·
What could be more appropriate for the end of 2025 than continuing the exhibit of the very talented three generations of the Beauchamp and Engberg family. In 2006 Lois Engberg and her mother, Barbara Beauchamp, had their first show together. In 2013 when Lois’s daughter, Kathryn Engberg (Katie to many), was a student at the Grand Central Atelier in Manhattan, she exhibited with her grandmother and mother. In 2017 after Katie graduated, she again exhibited with her mother. In 2023 after Kathryn returned to Salisbury, and Barbara was back in her studio, they joined Lois in another three-generation show. Once again, these talented artists will show a mix of landscapes and florals by Lois and Barbara and figures Kathryn paints from live models. The common element in all of their paintings is their ability to paint from life – landscapes, garden florals or human figures. This is sure to be a show of beautiful paintings. Follow Lois and Kathryn on Instagram. We will show their work on our Facebook page.

Opening Reception for Lois Engberg, Barbara Beauchamp & Kathryn Engberg

The Opening Reception for our November-December Artist, Lois Engberg, will be Friday, November 14. While surrounded by the beautifull paintings by Engberg we will celebrate 22 years Bishop’s Stock has been representing the regions finest artists.
October Featured Artists – Ann Hayden & Maurice Spectator
October 9, 2025 · by ·
The perfect way to celebrate fall is to show work by two our favorite artists from the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Ann Hayden and Maurice Spector are kindred spirits when it comes to the subjects they paint. While their painting medium differs as do their painterly styles one of the subjects they both paint are birds. You have to understand their aviary interests are not traditional. Ann’s interests focus on abstract takes on bird characteristics and behavior. Maurice represents birds as humorous characters often incorporated with other images. Where they differ is media and size. Maurice’s subjects will vary from birds to other small creatures. He will also show wood and limestone sculpture. As I said about their last show in 2022, this is one of those shows where I chuckle as I hang because of the paintings and their humorous titles.
August Featured Artist – Sandy Strachan Buchanan
August 2, 2025 · by ·
Sandy Strachan Buchanan, our August artist, is a familiar name to many in our area but I am not sure her reputation as a fine artist is as well-known. All I can say, her exhibit shows what you have missed. Sandy and her husband, Bill Buchanan, met in graduate school at Maryland Institute College of Art and both taught art in Worcester County. Sandy also taught Algebra, Tech Ed and was a Library/Media Specialist. Now retired, they are both pursuing many creative interests. Sandy’s have resulted in productive studio time. Her realistic paintings are beautifully composed “slices of life” taken from situations many would consider mundane but where Sandy sees beauty surrounding her. And, she does not shy away from capturing the images in large paintings. I call this getting a lot of mileage on a canvas! Some of the paintings being shown are in private collections and are not for sale but there are many paintings that can make you a collector of her work.
Before you come to see the show check Sandy’s Facebook page and Instagram.
