Water Music
by Joan Appel
Join us in celebrating Joan Appel at the Dolphin Gallery in Hingham, on display November 2 – December 5. All are welcome to the opening reception on Friday, November 7, 5:30-7:30PM.
I am both a professional musician and artist. Although trained as a classical musician, art-making has always been a very important part of my life. I have created art alongside my university and conservatory study as well as when I was performing in the United States and Europe. I feel that the execution of a painting becomes a personal performance, different from interpreting someone else’s poetry in song as I am expressing my own poetry in color, shape and texture. Oil painting and monotype printmaking remain my primary form of artistic expression.
These pieces in the exhibit Water Music bridge my love of sailing, the seashore, (and all things watery) and my love of music and performance.
I am a prize-winning exhibitor with various galleries and art associations throughout the U.S. Some of my training has been at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, DeCordova Museum, Paier College of Art and I am a member of, (to name a few) the National Association of Women Artists, American Impressionist Society, Monotype Guild of New England, North River Arts Society and I am a gallery artist at the Cape Cod Art Center.
As a musician, I have degrees from Syracuse University, the New England Conservatory and Lesley University. I performed as a coloratura soprano soloist with choruses in the New England area, France and Switzerland. Presently I am the Music Minster at the Linden Ponds Community Church and teach piano to adults and children in my Marshfield MA studio.

John Cook: Another Lifetime Fine Art

John Cook: Another Lifetime Fine Art
On Display from August 10 – September 5
Join the artist for a reception in the Gallery on Thursday, August 15 from 6:30-8:30.
This exhibition focuses on the various style and composition changes that the artist, John Cook has encountered since learning to paint in early 2017. His style of painting is reminiscent of a combination of the romantic period and the realism period styles. Both styles are late 19th century genres, that captured subjects and nature in their natural settings as they actually appear. Most of his works are created using oils on canvas, however, an occasional piece composed in acrylics comes along.
Although Mr. Cook does make attempts to capture different subject matter, most of his works are studies of the sea as the sea is where his heart finds solace. It is a constantly changing element, capable of showing darkened merciless rage in one moment and in the next, calm seas displaying beautiful hues of emerald and turquoise. His desire is that you find enjoyment in these pieces and perhaps they would draw you in, giving you a glimpse of how he views our world.
About the Artist:
John L. Cook (b. 1957 Ammersee, Germany) received his Associate Degree in Fine Arts Visual Arts from Quincy College, Quincy, Massachusetts in May 2018. He received his Bachelor of Art Degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston, in May 2020 with concentrations in studio art, painting and drawing.
Mr. Cook retired from the United States Army in July 2016 after 28 years of service where he served in both the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. Upon retiring, while studying at Quincy College, he realized a talent for creating art through painting and drawing. He has since displayed his works at the Hull Art Association Gallery in Hull, Massachusetts. Realizing that displaying and selling his works was not enough, he has created a customer based in- home paint party business. He brings paint nights to the customer where they and small groups of their friends and associates can experience hands-on painting as he shares the gift of art with those who might not have ever been exposed to creating art. John typically creates art 2 – 7 hours a day.
His latest venture is that of a live wedding painter on the south shore of Massachusetts, capturing couple’s special moments on their wedding day as they happen, on canvas using both oil and acrylic paints.
Mr. Cook a member of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Art of the Automobile
Photography by Steven Edson
On Display from November 4 – November 30
Artist Statement:
As a photographer, I attempt to visually describe moments in transition while observing the complexity and vastness of the land, people, and objects within constantly changing conditions. For these brief moments, time stands still for eternity.
Form and function welded, bolted, and stitched together for speed, comfort, performance, and safety. All vintages are represented in my work starting from 1885 to the Model T to antique cars from the turn of the century to the vintage era of the 1920’s thru to the mid-century cars of the 1930’s to the 1950’s to hot rods and muscle cars to the current late model cars including performance luxury vehicles and race cars. My car photography illustrates the exquisite precision of bent metal and chrome to conform to a designer’s vision for the efficiencies of aerodynamics combined with the beauty of timeless style. Within this series, I use the camera to highlight and celebrate the industrial nature of car design both in its abstraction and the transformation cars undergo in different lighting and environmental atmospheric conditions.
Cars are a catalyst for many people’s earliest memories: from romantic dinner dates or to the store and day trips across the region or cross-country adventures. Vehicles are used for pleasure and for commercial entities and for some, the sheer thrill and enjoyment combined with the skills of racing to be the first to cross the finish line in the shortest amount of time.
