C. Bartlett was born January 6, 1924 in Brockton, Massachusetts, the
son of acclaimed illustrator and painter Richard F. Bartlett. He was
educated in the public schools of East Bridgewater and gained entrance
to the prestigious School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where he
graduated with highest honors. He won the Museum School Traveling
Scholarship for study in Europe in 1949 and 1950 after serving for four
years as a bombardier/navigator in the 8th Air Force of the U.S. Army
Air Corps during which he completed thirty-five bombing missions over
Nazi Europe.
Dick Bartlett began painting as a child, using his
father's discarded art supplies. Richard F. Bartlett (1900-1987) was an
illustrator and painter of note who worked from his studios in Boston
and East Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
His painting Winter Lace was just recently acquired by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
His
work is represented in the permanent collections of the Library of
Congress; the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; the Wiggin Collection of the
Boston Public Library; the Bezellel Museum of Israel; Le Bibliothéque
Nationale in Paris; the Boston Athenaeum; and other private and public
collections.

|  Coastal, color photographic images captured as mood studies of local
communities, their harbors, vessels, their natural features, their
people, and special places.
It
took me years to really reflect on the meaning of light and color in my
life. And it took a return to photography as the tool to do that. I
love focusing on the coast,where light and color are so dramatically
rendered.

Nickerson is a native of Cape Cod where her family settled in the early
1600s. In 2000, she received BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art
in Boston. During her junior year there she spent a semester in the
Netherlands, attending the Reitweld Academy in
Amsterdam. Nickerson went on to attend Parsons School of Design,
and graduated in 2003 with her MFA.
Nickerson’s work has
always been strongly rooted in the subconscious. Today she creates
surreal environments, which combine elements of observation, internal
musings and fairytale iconography. She begins each piece with a
preliminary idea of the colors that she wants to use and some reference
materials (often old photographs or images from magazines). From there
the work evolves organically, with some beginning images becoming
obscured or eliminated, while new ones emerge. “I never know, when I
begin a piece, what the final outcome will be. I need this element of
surprise. If a piece is to rigidly planned I quickly lose interest.”
Nickerson intentionally chooses titles that are vague in order to leave
much of the interpretation up to the viewer. “Everyone has their own
unique perception. I love it when people see something in my work that
I did not.”
Nickerson’s paintings have been shown at galleries
throughout the East Coast. For the past five years she has exhibited
regularly and taught classes at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. She is
currently on the painting faculty at the Walnut Hill School in Natick,
MA, a private high school for students who are serious about pursuing a
career in the arts.
She resides in Cotuit where the sea continues to provide her with inspiration.

|  About
me... Some friends say I am a throw back to the 60s. Maybe I am. I
enjoy the company of artists in every form, free spirits and original
thinkers! I have naturally curly/wavy hair I just let dry "au
natural". I keep my nails short and don't wear polish. I have a
sarcastic but good sense of humor. My laugh is boisterous and loud! My
mood wanes with the changing seasons but my inspiration never does! I
love coffee and anything sweet! Love, love, love my sweets! I love the
ocean and could never move away, as I have always lived near a large
body of water. I love going barefoot, the feel of sand in my toes, the
wind in my hair and the sun on my face! I love to garden and get a
thrill watching my flowers as they slowly grow each season. I am
constantly moving plants and adding to my beds! I make jam, spaghetti
sauce, relish, love to bake but hate to cook. Kind of contradictory
wouldn't you say? We compost, recycle and try to do our best to help
the environment! I value my close friends, come from a very large
extended family and truly love the precious time spent with them all!
There is never enough!
Originally from Connecticut, followed by
a number of years in Canada, then several towns here and there in
Massachusetts I have been fortunate enough to finally settle on Cape
Cod for the past 20+ years. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and
beautiful New England scenery has helped to inspire the love I have
always had for photography. Being an avid gardener I truly appreciate
beautiful landscapes, flowers, birds, sunsets and the environment!
Travels within the United States and beyond have afforded me
opportunities to take some fabulous photos!

|  Born in Boston and raised on the south shore, I have held a lifelong appreciation for the sea.
Over
the years I have had opportunity to reside in other artistically
inspiring coastal areas of the country including St. John, United
States Virgin Islands and later Sausalito, California.
More
than a decade ago, my husband and I returned home to Cape Cod and I was
pleased to be juried in upon first attempt as an Artist Member of Cape
Cod Art Association where my work has been displayedin numerous juried
exhibitions in a variety of mediums. I work in watercolors
using a wet into wet or dry brush technique and with oil or acrylic I
paint with brush or palette knife.
Along with visual art,
writing is a passion. I have shared my poetry at venues on Cape
Cod. I have begun to experiment with incorporating more of my
written work with my visual art.
