Photographer
This chosen body of work consists of framed, 16x20, 2-D prints. These prints were produced from a handmade pinhole camera using color paper negatives. These negatives were then scanned and printed digitallyusing pigments. The images represent my feelings about trees & attempt to show them in a reverent and mysterious light.

413 238 5557
Worthington MA 01098

Priscilla King lives in the beautiful Berkshires surrounded by nature, which influences her work. Priscilla produces award winning photography and cards as well as large intensely colored watercolors.

After studying oil and acrylics, visiting major museums and shows in New York City she decided to have her own studio in lower Manhattan. This lasted several years in the 1970's. Leaving the city for the woods of Worthington, MA Priscilla's work expanded by studying charcoals, then acrylics and mixed mediums at Holyoke C.C. Priscilla has eight years of experience studying watercolor with the artist Karin Cook that expanded her techniques.

Priscilla finds painting a useful therapy for controlling her medical condition. Painting helps Priscilla to ignore the pain. She now works from her studio in Worthington daily.

Old Courthouse Gallery art statement for Patricia Jenks Exhibition, “Elemental Cycles”

Artworks for this exhibition consist mainly of new works on paper with some poured acrylic paintings on canvas. All work is abstract with the drawings being done in a variety of mixed drawing media. The title of the exhibition is “Elemental Cycles” and is themed around the concept of cycles of nature that create a meditative rhythm for feeding the soul. Thomas Merton, the great poet and writer of the contemplative life, was the initial inspiration for these new drawings as his poetic images of the sounds and silence of the natural world form an embracing web of sincere “spiritus”.

949 Spruce Corner Road
Ashfield MA 01330

Helen, raised in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, fell in love with the beauty of all things growing—her grandparents’ spreading fields of corn, wisteria on the front porch, dahlias in the garden, cows in the pasture—the beauty of the scenery. It is this beauty, sense of life and color she wishes to share with others. Helen is noted for her use of color and light in both watercolor and oil. The exhibit will include many local scenes, as well as still life, animal portraits and people.
