North Shore Arts Association's New Artist Members for 2017:

| "The Lookout" |
TOM BAILEY describes his painting style as "Inadvertently Impressionist". His goal is to create vibrant, energetic paintings that evoke a particular emotion, or perhaps rekindle a pleasant memory."All my paintings start at places I've actually been", he says. "Where they take me from there, however--or where I take them--is always an unplanned adventure."
Bailey is a juried member of several regional and national arts organizations and is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, the Connecticut Pastel Society and the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod. He has been fortunate to study directly with a wide spectrum of excellent artists including Frank Federico, Richard McKinley, Albert Handell, Donald Jurney, Julie Airoldi, and Daniel Edmondson.
Tom is a full-time artist with a studio in Amesbury, MA. He paints primarily in pastels and oils. He and his family divide their time between a small town north of Boston, Massachusetts and an even smaller town south of Keene, New Hampshire.

MARY ELLEN BROWN "In my work I aim to give a sense of peace and beauty, creating paintings with simple elegance and mood."
Now living in Southern New Hampshire, Mary Ellen studied Fine Art and Digital Photography at Salem State College supplementing with classes at Montserrat College of Art. Now an award-winning artist she maintains a studio at Western Ave. Studios in Lowell, MA. (#A404). Having worked in oils, pastels, graphite, watercolor, and digital photography her focus is now centered on pastel painting, preferring a highly detailed realism as seen in still life. She is inspired by the works of the Old Dutch Masters as well as the simple yet stunning beauty of grapes, flowers, or a silver pitcher. "My aim is to share my joy in and appreciation of the subject matter, by focusing the viewer on the details. Using sanded pastel papers allows me to build layers, helping to develop depth, shape, color, light, and shadows."
In between studio time and time spent showing in many exhibitions over the past years, Mary Ellen enjoys teaching the skills and sharing the joy of painting. She believes that the love of painting was a God-given gift to be shared with others and loves to see others succeed in their artistic endeavors under her teaching.

DAVID NEILL "In the past, for many years, I did drawing and illustration, working in graphite, colored pencil and pastel. At the urging of my son, Tim, (also a new artist member of the North Shore Arts Association) a few years ago I began working in oil (Tim gave me a set of oil paints for Christmas!) And, as they say, "that was that". I fell in love with oil painting! My style is realism and naturalism."
