Born in Boston, Robert S Johnson is a photographer based in New York City and in Wellfleet, Massachusetts where he lives with Katherine Alford and their son Asher.

Robert turned to photography full time in 2008 after a lifetime of taking photos. Since then he has devoted himself to work as a freelance photographer and educator. He was formerly the Artistic Director of THECO, Inc., a theater company, and Regional Vice President of an after-school education company.  

Robert’s photographs have been exhibited internationally, from New York to Budapest. He has published seven photo books and his work is included in private collections.

Always a visual kid, he began taking pictures using his mother's camera on family trips and on the grounds of the Boston State Hospital, aka “Boston Lunatic Hospital” founded in 1839, where he was raised.

Robert's photography includes expansive project-based visual poems, including TRANSLUCENT, which he describes as a project without end. His photographs and photo essays appear frequently in the Provincetown Independent.   

He has conducted workshops and lectured at the School of the New York Times Summer Academy, and Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill.

Journey - Photographs by Rachel Brown

Rachel Brown has an incredible body of work, including a collaboration with Nobel-prize poet Seamus Heaney, as well as an unusual Women's Wing series, using pinhole (sténopé) cameras. Read about Rachel’s work and artistic journey HERE.

Artist’s Statement:

The works included in this exhibition are derived from many years of random travel through landscapes I have been drawn to, some unpopulated, but just as notably, often with traces of human presence still visible.The importance of portals as connecting passages of experience continue the feeling of a journey.

Works on display are NFS but arrangements can be made with the artist for high quality reproductions.  Prices vary.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, 1933.

Studied with Hans Hofmann in New York and Provincetown, MA. and at Brooklyn College, where he is Professor Emeritus,.with Ad Reinhardt and Kurt Seligmann.

Wellfleet Preservation Hall is presenting an exhibition of selections from Robert Henry’s acclaimed Ship of State Series, last seen at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in 2019. The show, courtesy of the Berta Walker Gallery, curated by Dan Ranalli, will run from June 30 thru July 25 th , with an opening reception on Wed. July 5 from 5 to 7 pm. This show is in tandem with an mini retrospective exhibition of works on paper at the Berta walker Gallery, Provincetown, July 14 thru August 3, celebrating Henry’s ninetieth birthday.

Musicians as Muses exhibits 14 Cape Cod artists’ renderings of 14 plus local musicians.

Exhibiting artists are some of the regular participants in painting sessions of live models at the Eastham studio of artist Paul Schulenburg. Together and with others who join them, most recently on Zoom, they are a community of artists who have formed bonds through the joy and struggle of painting figures and portraits in a fun and mutually supportive group. Although serious in pursuit of their art, during sessions the artists carry on conversations, and even sing and tell jokes with each other and with models. While a wide range of people model, Schulenburg frequently arranges for musicians- singers, guitarists, fiddlers, cellists, and others – to sit for the artists and sing or play their instruments, usually on breaks. The musicians are inspiring, but also especially challenging to paint when they cannot help but play continuously.

Among the musicians captured in the approximately 30 artworks is Tianna Esperanza, who currently is the Resident Artist at Preservation Hall. Also featured is Steve Morgan, the blues musician and leader of Steve Morgan and the Kingfish, who passed away at the end of 2022.

Others include Mozelle Andrulot, Teresa Bloemer, Natalia Bonfini, Cerise Bynoe, Tim Dickey, BT Hayes, Bruce Maclean, Emerald Rae, David Roth, Gabriella Simpkins, Mark Small, Naomi Steckman, Jordan Renzi, and Sarah Swain. Many of these musicians are represented in multiple paintings by different artists, showing their varying interpretations of the same subjects.

On Friday June 23, a number of the artists that make up "Artists from Schulenburg Studio" will paint a new model for the group- jazz guitarist and composer Dario Acosta Teich, who hails from Argentina. He has released five albums and played in 14 countries, including various venues on the Cape. The demonstration, with some music by Teich as well as a reception, will be held from 2 to 5 PM on June 23. This event is free and all are welcome!

Artist Bios

Catherine Hess, one of the artists and also a member of Wellfleet Preservation Hall’s Visual Arts Committee, curated the exhibit. In addition to Hess and Schulenburg, other artists include Maryalice Eizenberg, Taylor Fox, Jerome Greene, Kenneth Higgins, Joan Lockhart, Irene McGrath, Rosalie Nadeau, Susan Overstreet, Andrea Petitto, Carol Petretti, Dale Michaels Wade, and Robin Wessman. Artists who paint at Schulenburg Studio have exhibited portrait and figure work together at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, Barnstable Town Hall, and the Eastham Public Library.  Individually they have exhibited their work, including other genres such as landscapes and still life, at non-profit organizations, museums and galleries across the Cape. Information on individual artists can be found on their websites or on Instagram. Paintings and more can be found on the Facebook group Figure Painting at Schulenburg Studio, which includes work of more artists who join in the studio or on Zoom

“Third Half” an exhibit of Objects Drawings Paintings by Ellen Anthony

Opening March 3

Talk March 23,

Introduction / Chronology

In 1984, when I was thirty seven, I had a dream that I was in the middle of my life. I woke up. “Do I want the second half to be the same?” Making documentaries for public television, but inwardly lost, stumbling over myself. “Nope.” I moved to Cape Cod, where my parents lived. When I turned 74, I realized I was in the Third Half of this life! Thus, the title of the show.

But let me back up… Coming to Cape Cod has been a journey of exploration, stumbling, healing.

In 1989, after many odd jobs, I began work at the Wellfleet Public Library, writing in spare time.

In 1992 I played Joan of Arc in “The Lark”. My father had directed Julie Harris in this debut role on Broadway. On opening night he explained to me what I could have done better. In this way I gained my freedom from trying to please him.

In 1995, after caring for him with dementia, I created a theater piece, “Why Can’t I Be Everywhere”, and played my own version of madness.

In 2000, I realized I was the only one who could make me happy. Out popped “Quirky Circus”.

In 2003, I stayed in a dune shack for three weeks and made 21 objects. These led me to a performance piece called “Prnch/Trnk”. Some of those constructions are here in niches, boxes.

In 2011, I performed small shadow and projection pieces called “Snap Shows” in living rooms.

In 2018 I slipped on the ice on the way to the last dance performance of Meredith Monk. I got frozen shoulder. How to get my mind off the pain? Paint? I began this daily practice.

In 2021 I stayed in a dune shack collaging small canvases each morning, drawing in the afternoon. Some are upstairs.

In 2022 I joined Castle Hill and the Yellow Chair Salon, a group of practicing artists mentored by Michael David. In this, my Third Half, the spigot is wide open.

Your Part: Will you write on a card?

This show is an opportunity to learn more about art and each other.

What is art for? How does art work on us?

(You don’t need to sign it, though I’d love if you do)

Any words… What you feel looking at one piece? Write the # of the piece. Where do you go when you see this? What does it remind you of? Any response in your body, mind, heart, spirit. Or write to me ellen@QuirkyCircus.com.

This life is to help each other grow, I believe. May this show strengthen that bond.

Artist Reception: December 17th, 4-6 pm

In 1993, I bought a camera. That decision remains a mystery. That simple act lead to a thirty-year journey that exists to this day. It gave me employment, and opened doors into cultures, lives, and world events I may never have seen. I have worked in dozens of countries, covering social issues, disasters, and war. Through my lens I witnessed the best and worst in humanity. In 2012, I published my first book of non-fiction, All The Kennedy’s Are Dead, based on preparations for a trip to Chad, to document the mass of refugees flooding into the central African nation from war torn Sudan. In 2017, I published my second book, Shimmy Shimmy Black Girl, the story of the trip itself.

In February of 2020 I was in Laos, sitting in a bar along the Mekong. Looking out at the boats moving across the glowing water, the hue of colors washed over me. I made a decision. I would return to Boston and paint. Much like the mysterious camera purchase, I had recently begun buying art supplies. With each purchase of a picture frame, I would buy a tube of paint. Why? That did not matter. One simple act always leads to another. Buy a camera? Endless possibilities. New paths bring new energy, and like the early days of my photography, I could feel that coming on. Travel has always had an effect on me, it has been a large part of my life. In that bar, with the sun going down, I realized painting could be an extension of my photographic work. I didn’t know where it would go, or if I would even have the time. Either way, I had a desire to put paint on canvas.

On the last day of February, I returned Boston to find the world in chaotic change. Uncertainty everywhere. Here is where I would have taken my camera into the streets. Instead, I began to paint. With each brush stroke, I realized I was documenting the worlds that I had walked, the places I had seen, the emotions I had felt. If my photos are marks in time, my paintings fill everything in between.

On the Billboard at Wellfleet Preservation Hall

Teen Slang is an installation of 32 latex paintings on panel by local 12 to 14-year-old participants in The Provincetown Artist Association and Museum’s Youth Art Reach program. The project was designed and facilitated by teaching artist Megan Hinton to ask each teen to explore the slang words they execute in language. The outcome is a public art ensemble of colorful painterly text-based responses that reflect the culture of a young generation through informal language and idioms.  

Paintings from the Cape: Spanning time at the beaches, hollows and marshes.

I made art from an early age. I grew up in Maryland, in the country on a creek where my wandering in nature started. I like to find the image as I paint. It has always been an exploration for me. Is it good? I don’t know. Is it working? I might know that.

I can see the formal components of the paintings. But technique is harder to define, mostly layers that build over time leaving traces of pervious images and decisions. The real work happens when I’m removing and rearranging the surface in an effort to cover up a mistake to find something new and that clicks. All of which is hugely subjective.

I take the biggest risks when I don’t care about making the painting work. A painting may seem finished at one point in time, but not in another. Really, there are more questions than answers as time passes that get to the finished painting. It is a journey and comes from my restlessness.

I will be continuing to try to perfect or find the paintings, and push them into new meanings, or just let them fall there. That is what I do. I apply paint to the surface.

Some who I pay homage to are the Fauves, Arthur Dove, Per Kirkeby, Joan Snyder, Yoko Ono, Bob Dylan, modernist painting, many more.

I am greatly honored and appreciative to present my work at Wellfleet Preservation Hall on Cape Cod, a place I have visited for most of my life, (starting at age 12! ), and love dearly.

Artist Reception: September 30th

Colin McGuire:

Colin McGuire is a painter currently working in Marblehead, MA as well as Provincetown, MA. Colin received his MFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design and BFA from Montserrat College of Art, where he now works as an adjunct instructor. He also teaches and serves as chair of the art department at The Academy of Penguin Hall in Wenham, MA. He will be marrying his fiance this month in Wellfleet!

Colin’s paintings are the result of a lifetime spent observing the coast. A dedicated painter for over a decade, his work is highly refined and sensitive, reflecting his experiences in nature and as an artist. His time spent as a fisherman and surfer along the New England coastline have etched the effects of light and atmosphere into the artist’s work. Trained as a plein-air painter, Colin often paints from the landscape, and aims to capture the energy and light of his time in nature.

Michael McGuire:

Michael McGuire’s artwork is a result of many influences, both from the artworld and from everyday life. Born in Waltham, Ma., and growing up in Lexington, as well as a long time resident of South Boston, he graduated from Massachusetts College of Art with a BFA in Sculpture. When he relocated to North Truro with his family 30 years ago he began concentrating solely on painting. This was partially due to space limitations of moving from a very large studio in South Boston, to working in a small cottage shared with his three small children. Painting has been his main focus ever since. As a working artist, painting became his sole occupation and he opened McGuire Gallery in Provincetown. A second gallery, with his son, Colin, is now open in Marblehead, MA.. His artwork is in collections all over the U.S. as well as, Mexico, France, the UK, Germany, Russia and Canada.

Artist Reception: September 7 from 4-6pm

Alexander, Rob and Janice are a family of artists based in Truro. Janice Redman is a sculptor born in Huddersfield, England whose work is rooted in her everyday experience and personal history. Using domestic objects, Janice works intuitively and often repetitively. The act of making becomes a ritual, a process of revealing that which lies beneath the surface of the everyday. Her work can be found at the Clark Gallery, Lincoln and Farm projects, Wellfleet.

Rob Dutoit paints and draws Cape Cod landscapes which capture a land of wildness and subdued beauty. As art writer Sue Harrison observed, Dutoit “captures the dark and light inherent in the drama of the Cape.” Rob’s mark making are expressions of breath and presence. Rob is represented by the Berta Walker Gallery. Janice and Rob met in Provincetown after Janice was a two year fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center. Both artists have an extensive history of showing in Provincetown and beyond and are in collections nationally and internationally. Alexander Dutoit is the son of Janice and Rob whose interests range from being an avid bird enthusiast, to photography. Alexander shoots film with 35mm and medium format cameras.

The three have a respect and connection to their natural surroundings. At home, they raise chickens and have a large vegetable garden. Janice swims daily, Alexander and Rob work directly from nature. Their daily life is artistic in everything they do. All three are rooted in craftsmanship. Janice comes from a family of makers, her mother a seamstress and a lace maker and her father restored antique clocks. Rob is also a master framer. Alexander meticulously prints his own photographs in his darkroom in their home in Truro. They are all process oriented, meaning the process is as crucial as the end result.

The idea began in 2020 with a visit to Janice Redman’s studio from Susie Nielsen of Farm Projects for an upcoming show Janice would be having. After the visit Janice casually took Nielsen through the house introducing each family member including their dog Willoboughy, and Meatball the guinea pig. Nielsen was struck by the beautiful intersections and crossover their living and art practices had. As important as each of their artistic skills are there is something compelling about their relationships to each other and their daily lives. That is an aspect of the artist we don’t often get to see.

We found a common theme of black and white for them to flourish individually. Janice with her obsessive monoprints that she makes in phases of intensity in her studio in Truro. We chose Rob’s landscape drawings for the rich texture, and Alexander’s black and white photographs. Alexander’s work is the biggest conduit because half of the the work chosen are intimate landscapes with no horizon line whose texture relates to Rob’s landscapes and the other half are these slightly absurd compositions, which relate to Janice’s monoprints. All of them rich with texture and light. Through the different mediums and subject matter it is impossible not to make connections between the work of these three family member whose daily lives mimic their making.

2022 FLOATING HOUSE SERIES

I have always looked at homes as animate objects, with the purpose of providing warmth and shelter in exchange for care and love.

Now, owning a home has become untouchable for many.

The feeling of floating up and away portrays this dilemma.  But, what if they were landing and affordable as opposed to drifting away?

Would this change our perspective?

Traci Harmon-Hay paints with fluid acrylics on raw canvas, building layers of wash into a final combination of opaque and transparent color. In all her work she plays with the concept of nature versus man. Originally a watercolorist, she spent a lot of time painting the beauty of Cape Cod.  After years of studying the historic buildings within their environment she started questioning the interaction between humans and nature.  The “Floating Structures” series was inspired by the evidence of sea level rise and demolition. “What if they could hover above their foundation, keeping them safe from wind and water or from the desire of man to rebuild?”  The void of landscape gives our eyes and minds the ability to focus solely on the structure itself, contemplating its history and purpose in this world. 

Traci Harmon-Hay received her BFA in illustration and painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art and studied with Fritz Briggs of the Schuler School of Fine Arts in Baltimore. Represented by New York's Creative Freelancers, Harmon-Hay cofounded Studio Six, an illustration co-op in Baltimore MD. Her clients included the Washington Times, Baltimore Sun, Nation's Business Magazine, Yankee Publishing and Cambell's. 

She owned the Harmon Gallery in Wellfleet from 2000 until 2014, and continued to exhibit her work there along with many other local and nationally renowned artists until its closer in January 2021. She has also exhibited her work at the Left Bank Gallery, Bromfield Gallery and Fountain Street Gallery. 

She lives in Wellfleet with her husband and two daughters.

Reception for the artist - Friday June 10th, 4-6pm

Artist’s Statement:

Tracing back over 20 years, I come across images that still resonate with me. Their significance is that they originate from a moment in time that I can revisit just by enjoying the image. This image is part of a series of monotypes I call "Happenstances". It is simply the reflection of a refrigerator door next to a glass sliding door looking out onto a porch. It represents a lot more than that of course, but it's the mundane that usually is most significant to me. This exhibit examines moments in time experienced in my daily life. I came from northern New Jersey close to NYC, and settled in Cape Cod over 20 years ago. I had to move from what was architectonic to what is happening with wind, rain and sea. Wherever I go, there is always the visual experience that initiates the thought or concept and becomes the origin for the image. Something I see can hit me so forcefully that it has to be expressed. This exhibit is a highly diversified collection of drawings, paintings and prints. Each represents a moment and a thought that has passed on only to be replaced by still another thought. But the unifying element is always how the origin for the work came out of the thought or concept as well as the process and materials used.

Original Prints

Printmakers of Cape Cod

This exhibition features original prints by members of the Printmakers of Cape Cod. The work includes a diverse sampling of both traditional and non-traditional printmaking methods and materials. All prints on display are hand-made original works. In some cases the techniques are combined and layered in the works. There is no single theme for the exhibition, instead each artist showcases work that suits individual imagery, ideas, and imagination. Members were invited to submit one piece for the exhibition. We hope this makes for a rich experience for the viewer. 

Printmakers of Cape Cod was organized in 1976 by a group of five artists. In the forty-five years since its creation, the membership has grown to 50 plus active members throughout Cape Cod and the South Shore. The members are dedicated to the investigation of new mediums and methods, and spread interest in prints through workshops, exhibitions, and other educational opportunities. For more information please visit their website - www.printmakersofcapecod.org

Odds & Sods

My great aunt, Addie was a teacher in New Jersey, who would summer at an unfinished cottage off Ocean View Drive in South Wellfleet. I'm pretty sure that her whole summer revolved around painting and studying art, since it was a passion for her, and her time for doing those things was limited during her school year. Our family was lucky for the fact that she would let us have the cottage for a week or two as she became older. One of my earliest memories is waking up to the sound of the ocean rhythmically hitting the beach. My wife and I eventually moved to Cape Cod and some of my very first art shows happened at various locations along this street. I well remember this building from decades ago with its nicely proportioned steeple and quirky, painted doors. When considering the possibility of exhibiting work at Preservation Hall, I realized that it could be a great opportunity to bring together some of the pieces that don't always play nicely with others. Many of these have never been shown before, wrapped and unwrapped, shuffling around the studio floor, waiting, perhaps hoping for a moment to shine. A few people asked if these are sketches or places where I work ideas out, but I don't think so. They feel to me like friends; colorful, cranky, overly exuberant at times, apprehensive. I very much enjoy the opportunity to exhibit in Wellfleet again and seeing them together here. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

Andrea Pluhar: A Survey of Painting

We are pleased to present a survey of paintings by Andrea Pluhar. Pluhar has exhibited in a wide range of styles on the Cape and in New York. A survey of work will be at the Hall from February 1 - March 1, 2022.

Artist Reception: Friday February 25th, 5:30 - 7pm

Watch the 2/8 virtual talk with Andrea & Connie Saems HERE

About the show:
Pluhar will be exhibiting pieces from 5 stylistically varied periods. The Schoolhouse Paintings, shown at the Schoolhouse Gallery in 1996, are the earliest works emerging from a lifelong interest in figurative allegorical images.

Pluhar spent the next 10 years exploring stylistic alternatives to the painterly realism of the Schoolhouse years while never wandering far from an interest in the allegorical expression of an idea. Often inspired by reading, Pluhar created the East of the Moon series as a response to her study of the Middle East. While working on the Damselfly paintings she was immersed in the literature of magic realism, especially Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Pluhar experimented for a time with combining her technical skills with freehand drawing producing a series of digitally enhanced etchings on 4x5 film. The later work in the show includes the Spincycle series, a body of upended figures and Half-wit Passage, a series of more realistic but always magical images.

About the artist:
Pluhar is active on the local music scene, working on the Wellfleet Porchfest organizing committee, of which she is an original founder, and Outermost Contra which produces a monthly contra dance at Wellfleet Preservation Hall. She plays traditional fiddle and participates in local Irish sessions. Pluhar offers print and web design through Pluhar Creative Design Services and is employed at the Provincetown Community Compact and at American Friends of Georgia.

Pluhar, who settled in Wellfleet in 1991, comes from a literary and artistic family. Her grandparents, Norman and Anna Matson, met on Longnook beach in Truro in the late 20s, and bought a house on the banks of the Herring River in 1933. Pluhar spent summers in the house on the river absorbing the ethos and culture of the literary and artistic circles of her grandparents. She attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where she studied painting and graphic design.

BIRDS, BEASTS & BEACH TRASH

We are not alone. We may not know or often think about it when we’re at the beach or dining in one of our great restaurants, but we still share this beautiful peninsula with some of the abundant wildlife that the pilgrims encountered (and often ate) so long ago. Coyotes, foxes, and deer still flourish here, along with a variety of smaller creatures and our wealth of native and migratory birds. 

Not long after my wife and I bought our second home here, I began exploring the fringes of this world, on our hikes, of course, but also through photography, not just with conventional cameras but using inexpensive motion-activated cameras. These “robo-cams” have picked up some pretty amazing photos of the deer, coyotes, and other wildlife that pass through our yard and down-slope through the woods, when we’re absent or asleep. Our walks have also enabled my wife to pursue her obsession with snowy owls, accounting for their several appearances in this show. 

Our beach walks have also yielded an abundance of bait bags, driftwood, and other colorful debris, which have found their way into random sculptures—an effort to justify my habit of dragging this stuff home . Over the years, Emily and I have also made several forays into the American west, inspiring a number of the photographs in this show. 

For background: I was, for many years, a documentary filmmaker and owner of a small independent production and distribution company, Fanlight Productions, which handled over 400 titles dealing with healthcare, parenting, homelessness, and disability issues. Many of my own films were festival award-winners, including the Oscar-nominated documentary Code Gray about ethical dilemmas in nursing, which I co-produced with Joan Sawyer in collaboration with nurse-ethicist Christine Mitchell. My most recent film, Refuge: Caring for Survivors of Torture, documents the difficulties faced by immigrant survivors of torture now living in the United States.

As our friends are aware, I am experiencing some degree of memory loss these days, which makes the exercise of pulling together this show and being able to share these memories and images with you especially meaningful for me.

An exhibition of landscape paintings by architects and artists Martha Leibowitz Rothman and Elliot Paul Rothman reveals views from their travels in Cuba and India—and observations from their Cape Cod home environment. Stylistically varied, the exhibition juxtaposes the inspiring dynamism of far-flung locations with well-loved surroundings that both artists have studied on a quiet daily basis, over the course of decades.

While addressing similar subject matter, the artists who have been married since 1964, take differing approaches to their work. Elliot paints on site, primarily using watercolor which contributes to the work’s sense of immediacy. His Cuba paintings combine watercolor with charcoal, enhancing their gutsy and vigorous effect.

Martha’s work develops through an iterative process of translation in which she transforms in situ pastel and watercolor sketches into abstract acrylic paintings and monoprints with a sense of restraint and geometric vibration. Wellfleet’s landscape is her main focus and inspiration.

Curated by visual artist Megan Hinton and Susie Nielsen of farm projects for the Wellfleet Preservation Hall, this exhibition comprises new work that has not been shown before.

Artist Statements

Martha Leibowitz Rothman

“My painting practice has evolved after retirement from active practice as an architect. From casual representation of nature through sketching and painting in situ, I have found new ways of working by taking classes with Megan Hinton, well-known Wellfleet artist and teacher. Translating my architectural perception of space into two dimensions and visualizing characteristic Outer Cape color and light has taken me to a constantly shifting place.”

Elliot Paul Rothman

“Studying watercolor at Carnegie Mellon University almost 60 years ago led to a lifetime of observing the world around me, capturing my impressions whether traveling or at home. Painting on site is working with a moving target—as the sun shifts, detail is hidden and revealed. Watercolor allows me to express the light as it moves and reveal layered spaces,while finding a certain abstraction.” elliotpaulrothman.com
