Rendered with the precision and sensitivity of an experienced oil painter, artist Cleo Huggins’ underwater compositions challenge traditional plein air technique. Light diffuses and drops off suddenly. Shadows shimmer with unexpected color. Huggins captures not just marine life but the emotional escape of immersion, where the viewer becomes part of the stillness, the spectacle, and the imagination.

Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, painter Ana Smyth was surrounded by warmth and year-round sun, but it wasn’t until she moved to New England that she discovered the visual beauty of four distinct seasons. With vibrant colors and energetic brushwork, she captures scenes of snow, oceans, forests, and fields, each infused with a rhythmic quality.

With a documentarian’s eye and a storyteller’s heart, Cawthon captures the kaleidoscopic culture of San Pedro, Belize. Where Mestizo, Creole, Garifuna, and other heritages coexist in a dynamic blend of tradition, tourism, and local life.  Glimpse into the daily rituals and fleeting moments to experience the warmth of a community known for its laid-back spirit. Framed by the island’s natural beauty and international influences, these photographs go beyond postcard images to tell a deeper, more human story.

Using a hammer drill, salvaged spring steel rods, and his eye for the unexpected, Kelley creates formations where heavy stone seems to float or sway in delicate counterbalance. Abstract works highlight the raw beauty of fractured surfaces, while his figurative sculptures push against gravity and logic. Kelley’s work is a testament to imagination and the elegance found in even the heaviest materials.
