LORRAINE BROMLEY
Painting touched Lorraine in her early years growing up in Cranston, RI.
A Bachelor of Arts from RI College majoring in the Studio Arts of Graphic
Design, Painting and Photography.
A graphic designer in her own company, Lorraine Designs and 10 years at Johnson & Wales University. But watercolor was the medium that lead her to study exclusively as a fine artist and photography, always the driving force for reference and delight when traveling the world.
Two careers simultaneously as designer and watercolorist.
She experiments occasionally in printmaking and collage combining them with watercolors in nature inspired pieces and teaches techniques in watercolor for art associations, privately, and in continuing education venues.
Lorraine has won many awards for her landscaped watercolors as she enjoys painting plein-air. She also participates in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the region. She is an artist member in RI Watercolor Society, Providence Art Club and Spring Bull Gallery.
Lorraine lives with her husband (who is also an artist) in Warwick, RI on Buckeye Brook working in their gardens.
SHARON D. EISMAN
I am inspired by much that surrounds me including: nature, words, experiences, color and shape, as well as marks and textures created by a variety of tools, mediums, and surfaces both traditional and unique.
I enjoy the process of creating work that incorporates my varied art background and the opportunity to express that which inspires me through the calligraphic stroke, the drawn or painted image, or the melding of mediums.
As a multifarious artist, I will always experiment with traditional and non-traditional lettering, drawing and painting materials, exploring an unlimited variety of mark-making tools, mediums, and styles, as each provides unique possibilities in the calligraphic arts (both traditional and abstract), painting, drawing and mixed media work. All an exciting addition to my long history of fine pen work, detailed drawing and painting.
Sharon’s artist memberships include: Elected Artist of Art League Rhode Island, Artist Member of Rhode Island Watercolor Society, Warwick Center for the Arts, and Juried Artist Member Wickford Art Association.
She is also a member of IAMPETH; International Association of Masterpenman, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting, Masscribes; a New England based Calligraphy Organization, and ISEA (International Society of Experimental Artists).
Her work has been published, and has been exhibited in RI, MA, CT, NY and Salzburg, Austria. A 2012 commission now resides at the Peace Palace, The Hague, the Netherlands.
