AMY MIDDLETON
Artist & Educator
Influenced by expressionist and impressionist painters, Amy is focused on capturing mood through color, form and brush strokes. She’s long been inspired by the landscape of her beloved Cape Cod; drawn to its magical light, expansive skies and ever-changing seas. The bright colors and floral patterns of the seventies and eighties have influenced her work.
Amy is also an art educator, teaching at Chatham Elementary School and the Creative Arts Center, as well as private lessons to children and adults. She studied art at Southern Methodist University, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Advertising and Studio Art.
She continued her studies at Montserrat College of Art, Massachusetts College of Art and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. She is a member of the Creative Arts Center in Chatham and the Provincetown Arts Association and Museum. Her work can be found at the Mark August Gallery in Chatham, with the Guild of Chatham Painters, and in regional shows throughout the year.
Odin K. Smith
Acrylic Artist
Odin Kaeselau Smith is a native Cape Cod artist known for her ability to capture the landscape in a unique manner. Her artistic process is greatly inspired by her love for the beauty of the land, sea and sky, and the endless sources of subject matter that surround her. Her paintings are frequently inspired by the beautiful Cape Cod images that have imprinted themselves on her senses since she was a very small child. She enjoys portraying subjects in a manner that fills them with light, energy, emotion and life. Her choice of subject matter often shifts as she moves through life. As her view of the world expands, she chooses subjects that reflect her desire for peace, love for the beauty of nature, exploration of color and texture, and even her sense of humor. Odin comes from an artistically talented family.
Odin Smith is an acrylic, pastel and watercolor artist who believes that each painting or illustration is a discovery and education in itself, and is always open to new artistic ideas. She is currently represented by Gallery Antonia in Chatham MA and may be contacted via email at odinsmithart@yahoo.com
