found on the kitchen shelf of an old cottage from the 1940s

other and challenges her to respond to what is seen in her surroundings and what is imagined. Since
September 2008, she has been teaching art classes in her home studio.
Patricia H. Canavari found painting to be a passion she wanted to pursue in retirement. Living in Truro

NYC, and LA. His works are in major corporate and municipal collections including, Christian Dior, Inc
(NY), The Bruce Museum (Greenwich CT), the City of Miami, Yale University, and United Jersey Banks

sense of awe.” Her serigraphs are found in many diverse collections, including those of corporations,
galleries, cultural, financial and humanitarian institutions. In Wellfleet, she was part owner and director
of the Jacob Fanning Gallery for 27 years.
Ron Fowler graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute (NYC), beginning his career as a book
illustrator. He has over 30 books and book jackets to his credit and has also produced limited edition,
special event, and theatrical posters. In the early eighties he visited Provincetown, and never went
home! Fowler was inspired by the light of Cape Cod and began to explore the possibilities of realist
landscape and seascape in oil while continuing with figurative drawing, and “visually appealing ...
delicately allusive” (New York Times) color-based abstractions. He was one of the earliest artists profiled
in the book New American Paintings and has shown his abstractions in the Laguna Beach Gallery (CA),
Chuck Levitan Gallery (NYC), and in juried shows around the country. His work can be seen at Gallery

school. He has worked in art departments, and freelanced in advertising, publishing, and regional
theater. Since 1991, he has resided in Truro and exhibited in local galleries. He has received two

Cecil Grav, she became more academically trained. Upon her return to the US, she began to fuse her
earlier expressionist style with her newly discovered traditional work. She is multi-talented and
dedicated to searching for artistic truth, reflecting the world’s beauty like a mirror, fueling her
expression through her magical landscapes, angel-like portraits and floral still-lifes.

Lynn Shaler notes that, “printmaking is a long, mysterious process with an element of surprise that
doesn’t exist with more immediate forms of art. When it works it is a wonderful magical feeling. Often, I
want to create a feeling of mystery in my etchings of rooms and doorways and do so by establishing
strong contrasts between light and shadow.” Over the years, she has enjoyed creating etchings based on
views of Paris. She creates a feeling of mystery in her night views by using various deep shades of blue
and by having many of the windows dark, but a few of them blazing with interior lights creating a strong
sense of light and dark in the finished etchings
