PETER ROOS
Photographer


Most of the images in the exhibit come from a trip recently taken to Iceland. Peter received his BFA and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Painting and Drawing. He has been teaching those subjects in the Art Department at Keene State College for the past 20 years. Peter grew up taking pictures and developing film from an early age. With a full darkroom in the basement of the house he grew up in on Long Island, NY, his father taught him traditional photographic processing. In recent years he has studied with digital photographer, Katrin Eiseman and Stephen Johnson, learning digital processing and landscape photography.

BRIAN PUTNAM

Brian was raised quite comfortably in a very small, New England town where the influence of religion, disciplined work, local pride, and driving around left a strong impact on him. For the last few years, he lived in various cities, thinking, getting educated, and making artwork. He currently lives in Edinburgh.

Brian graduated with a BA from the School of the Museum of Fine Art with Tufts University in Boston, and received a Masters of Fine Art from Byam Shaw School of Art at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design in London.

SCOTT J. MORGAN
Oils on Canvas

For the past 30 years, Scott J. Morgan has been combining his skills as artist and designer on canvas and in the landscape. His experiences as a professional musician are evident in the rhythm and movement in his paintings. The structural and sculptural qualities seen in his work are informed by his extensive career as a landscape architect.

Patrons of Scott’s work often comment on the lyrical, narrative quality of the pieces. His work is crafted in the tradition of short stories, passages of improvisational music and poetry. These ‘stories’ or ‘songs’ unfold as an abstract translation of Scott’s inspiration and perspective. He invites us, the audience, to participate in the dialogue through our individual and unique interpretation.

Scott enjoys serving as both instructor and mentor to a growing number of beginning and experienced painters at his studio. An anthology of his work was recently exhibited at the Bennington Museum in Bennington, VT. Scott currently teaches and exhibits in Vermont where he lives with his wife and daughter.
