Dorothy Krause
Krause is a painter, collage artist and printmaker who incorporates digital mixed media into her art. Her work is exhibited regularly in galleries and museums and featured in numerous current periodicals and books.
Krause is Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts College of Art where she founded the Computer Arts Center and a member of Digital Atelier®, an artists collaborative, with Bonny Lhotka and Karin Schminke. She is a frequent speaker at conferences and symposia and a consultant for manufacturers and distributors of products which may be used by fine artists.
In July 1997, Krause organized “Digital Atelier: A printmaking studio for the 21st century" at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and was an artist-in-residence there for 21 days. For that work she and her colleagues received a Smithsonian/Computerworld Technology in the Arts Award. That same year, she worked with a group of curators to help them envision the potential of digital printmaking in “Media for a New Millennium” a work-tank/ think-shop organized by the Vinalhaven Graphic Arts Foundation.
In 2000 Krause received a Kodak Innovator Award and in June 2001, with Digital Atelier, she demonstrated digital printmaking techniques at the opening of the Brooklyn Museum of Art 27th Print National, Digital: Printmaking Now. In 2007 she was Von Hess Visiting Artist at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
Krause is the author of Book + Art: Handcrafting Artists' Books to be published by North Light in 2009 and co-author, with Lhotka and Schminke, of Digital Art Studio: Techniques for combining inkjet printing with traditional art materials, published by Watson-Guptill in 2004.
Crystal D Munson
With an education from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Rouen, France, Crystal returned to Boston to an assistant gallery position for two years. With new knowledge of the business and strong relationships with local artists, she decided to venture out on her own, selling artist's work.
As an art consultant since 1987, Crystal has acquired over 300 hundred clients both corporate and individual; many of these entailing large scale commissioned projects where art is made specifically for a space. Several of these projects were collaborations between artists that Crystal selected. Over these twenty years Crystal has worked closely with more than 60 artists, visiting studios, showing their work and encouraging communication regarding the growth and direction of their art.
In 2005 Crystal became a Mom and moved to the south shore of Massachusetts, taking a one year hiatus. With the shift in location and setting, the previous business name of C Duell Arts became BayMarO Studio referencing the beautiful views of the Bay, Marsh and Ocean. The direction of the business is now more focused on showing artwork in a residential setting; art is seen on a variety of wall colors, in both traditional and contemporary setting with various sources of light.
Crystal looks forward to working closely with residential clients and providing artwork for their families that is both admired and appropriate for their genre of interior
Shane Savage-Rumbaugh
“The painting impulse is always with me, and it’s always enriching my experience of the world. Painting has magnified my awareness of structures and patterns. Knowledge tends to deepen mystery for me, mostly because the more I learn; the more I realize there is to know. As I move through life I feel as if I am always painting. I notice relationships (visual, social, structural) and systems at work. There are so many echoes if one makes an effort to notice them – like the great double spiraling pattern which is expressed in galactic swirling as well as satellite photographs of hurricanes, hair tracts on the tops of heads, fingerprints, the symbol of Yin and Yang, and the swirling turbulence of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”. Painting has helped me become more active, involved and alive.”
Savage-Rumbaugh received an M.F.A. in painting from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York and is currently a Professor at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts. He has recently been awarded residency grants to Rowe Conference Center, Rowe, MA and Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts in Newcastle, Maine. He also was the recipient in 1996 of the John Hartwell Award for Graduate Achievement in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning, Cornell University. Recent exhibitions include The Figure Now, Westport Arts Center, Westport, Connecticut, 2004; Mute, Anne Arundel College, Arnold, MD, 2003; Lustrus Lustrum, Artworks Gallery, New Bedford, MA, 2002 and National Competition Exhibition, First Street Gallery, New York, NY, 2000.
