Her acrylic palette\nembraces shades o f lavender\, ochre\, and azure. Ann Guidera-Matey has\nbeen working with p astels for approximately 35 years and has her\nstudio in Aston\, PA. Paste l is her primary medium\, choosing it for its\nimmediacy\, saturated hues\ , and ability to capture glowing light. She\nis inspired by Maryland’s E astern Shore\, the New Jersey coast\, the\nBrandywine Valley\, and more. H er landscapes evoke the feelings of\nharmony and balance found in nature. Deep hues\, vast environments\, and\nvisual texture invite observers into Ann’s world\, where you can\npause\, take a deep breath\, and savor the moment.

Her work has evolved\nin recent years toward bold color relationships and a more distilled\nvisual language. Vintage objects\, patterned surfaces\, and simplified\nforms often appear in her still lifes\, creating composit ions that\nbalance structure with intuition. Catherine’s style is\ntwo-d imensional and geometric-focused\, giving her pieces an almost\ncubist aes thetic. The three works she is including in this show are\nvaried in subje ct: one is a floral portrait\, another is a river scene\,\nand the last is a still life. Her tones\, while still rich\, are more\nmuted and unidimen sional.  Pritha Srinivasan returns to the Peninsula\nGallery again in Apr il after having shown in its March exhibition.\nPritha is a Mid-Atlantic s elf-taught contemporary artist who has been\ncreating art since childhood.

By combining dynamic c olor\nwith detail\, her artwork transforms both the mysterious and familia r\ninto something radiant and visionary.
