There have been three phases in the development of Barbara’s art. The first was academic. After formal training in the history art – from carve art to the 20th century movements – she was fortunate to work closely with the preeminent South African historian Esme Berman, researching authoritative guides for gallery owners, curators and private collectors. She developed an eclectic taste, with favorite artists ranging from Milton Avery, Lucian Freud, Raoul Dufy, to Munch.

Drawn to the creation process itself, her second phase was devoted to sculpting, primarily using the lost-wax method to produce work in bronze, stone and plaster. Eventually, her love of color and intrigue with large-scale canvas, led her to the third phase in her development.

Barbara now opts for experimentation over her formal fine-arts training with a consequent versatility in media, style and size, and integrated shifts between realism and abstractism. She currently is drawn to large-scale works in acrylics augmented by additives to enhance the visual with a tactile quality, with a choice of color tied closely to the emotive nature of the subject. Barbara Fix lives in Larchmont, NY.

Veronica Dean has been exploring art for a number of years. Dean primarily works in watercolor and pencil and her Oresman Gallery exhibit features pencil portraits of children and watercolor landscapes. Using the mediums of watercolor and pencil, Dean attempts to bring her favorite subjects to life. She finds her art relaxing even though it has been and continues to be a life-long learning pursuit. Veronica is primarily influenced with the art of Norman Rockwell.

Her artwork has been exhibited in numerous libraries and galleries, including the Westchester Community College Art Workshop Gallery, the Flat Iron Gallery in Peekskill, St. Cabrini Nursing Home and several library galleries in Lower Westchester County.
