Helen Sturges Nadler is the first Artist exhibiting her paintings in our Artists’ Gallery. Please continue reading to learn about Helen and to view her luminous watercolors.

Helen Sturges Nadler states that watercolor “allows me to paint the light behind and through everything, to express the fluidity of experience and the sensuousness of the material world.” Her work reflects a love for the great spaces of the ocean and the landscape of New Mexico. She resides in Tiverton, RI and Taos, NM. Helen has taught painting for many years including classes at the University of New Mexico and the RISD Continuing Education program.

Leslie Lindeman states: I have been taking photographs since I was very young – sometimes for income, always for pleasure. I prefer to shoot the paintings Mother Nature creates – the antics of creatures, the beauty of flora and fauna, and the ever-changing splendor of the seasons. I also put my photographic skills to work for my business, Effective Marketing Strategies, where I plan, direct, write, and edit for public relations campaigns, direct mail programs, newsletters, brochures, web sites, videos and other promotional materials. For more information, please e-mail Leslie at GoodPR@cox.net.

“Many things inspire me to paint. Travel, the surroundings of the place I live, a passion for food, and the simple humor found in people and animals, spark my creative vision. The light, texture and repetition of patterns in the land, and city streets, the taste and the smell of local markets, they are the core of my art. My goal is to infuse my personal experience on paper, to interpret the memory and create a visual space for it to exist in. "

Milukas is a fine artist working in both pastels and watercolors. She studied at the University of Southern Maine and earned a BA in Arts with a concentration in sculpture. While primarily a studio painter she also works "Plein Air". Her extensive travel experiences throughout the United States, Europe, Morocco, the South Pacific, Iceland, Asia and the Caribbean, provide her with much of her creative inspiration. Her artistic vision is expressed in her vibrant seascapes and landscapes, rural town scenes, and studies of markets filled with indigenous foods and local color.
