Fine Art, Craft & Wine
Opening Reception for Maurice Sevigny – August Featured ArtistCome meet Maurice Sevigny and see his paintings and his lovely jewelry. This talented artist is all about color combining acrylics for his paintings and unusual materials in his necklaces.
Maurice Sevigny – Painter & Jewelry DesignerDuring August Bishop’s Stock will feature Maurice Sevigny. Maurice is one of a very few of our artists who paint as well as create 3-dimensional work. The show will feature colorful paintings and creative jewelry. His current body of work has been inspired by international travel and has grown out of digital experimentation using the computer software as a color enhancement and design distortion tool. Maurice is recognized for his very colorful adaptations of figurative, floral, abstract and landscape images which are his unique combinations of mixed media. His “One of a Kind” jewelry designs incorporate his keen sense of color and texture and represent unique combinations of beading that use multicultural beading sources. Check his website to learn more about his career in fine arts education.

July Artist-in-Residence – Jan CrookerCome visit with Jan Crooker and learn more about what has inspired her artistic expression. She will offer insight into her creative process used in her show “images of Summer Light.”
Each summer Bishop’s Stock features artists who do not regularly show throughout the year. Many of these talented artists have connected with us through Paint Snow Hill, our abstract show or just during their stays on the Eastern Shore. In July we are featuring paintings by Jan Crooker. Those who have seen her paintings during Paint Snow Hill will recognize her love of light and color. She is calling her show “Images of Summer Light” with all of the paintings reflecting light we experience during long, lazy summer days.
During June Bishop’s Stock will have two features – small paintings by a group of our artists and watercolors by C. Keith Whitelock. Showing small paintings are Deborah Rolig, Barbara Mowery, Lynne Lockhart and Nancy West. Their work includes Deborah’s expressive figures, Barbara’s simple landscapes, Lynne’s girls on the beach and Nancy’s wildlife pastels. Our other feature introduces Keith Whitelock to the gallery. Keith is well-known in the region for his paintings of working boats, bay side marshes and waterfowl. He is a signature member of the American Society of Marine Artists and his work has been featured in publications throughout the area. We are very pleased to welcome Keith to Bishop’s Stock.
This month we will feature some of the paintings created during April’s Paint Snow Hill plein air event. This as an opportunity for our patrons to see the amazing work many of the 68 artists created in three windy, chilly days. Poor weather conditions did not deter the quality of the paintings. In fact the “Wet Paint Show was deemed one of best in 11 years. The feature includes work by 20 artists who show with us.
Bishop’s Stock Fine Art, Craft & Wine will open the spring season with the annual exhibit of new work by Lynne Lockhart and Kirk McBride, two of the area’s most recognized artists. Both artists exhibit great technical skills with brushwork, composition and use of light. Work in the show includes images from all seasons. Lockhart captures both summer and winter in her paintings of animals and people while McBride brings to his canvases images from travels to New England fishing harbors in the summer and the Arizona desert in the winter. McBride will be teaching a plein air workshop April 16. Both artists will be participating for the eleventh year in Paint Snow Hill April 17-20.
Each year Bishop’s Stock welcomes a year of new featured exhibits with an exclusive abstract show.

Among the artists are Aina Nergaard-Nammack, Anne Holland, Kathy Daywalt, Diane Hurwitz-Specht, Angela Herbert-Hodges, Barbara Hager, Bobbi Shulman, Ann Crain, Terry Cullen, John Cleary, Scot Dolby. Maurice Spector, and Maurice Sevigny. In the show are work on paper, mixed media and gallery wrapped canvases. Most of the work is non-objective. The show will run through March 4.
