March is a month that brings new color back to the gallery. Helene English is our featured artist. One series we have shown of her work was Ocean City paintings focused on Boardwalk icons. The themes of her paintings are everyday observations painted with intense color, bold composition and lots of imagination. She often captures human and animal experiences that are least expected. One of my favorite paintings is a pyramid of 14 happy dogs named Lots of Ruff, Ruff, Ruff. With our dogs in front of the painting It was a perfect backdrop for our annual holiday card.

Helene English, our December featured artist in the front gallery. Helene’s paintings are so lively it is hard not to smile and chuckle about what story she is “telling.” She paints with very clean lines capturing things she sees in the world around her – pets, boats and even manhole covers. On December 7, she will be here to tell her tales!
