She has exhibited nationwide and is\ nknown for her colorful paintings. She has a studio in Bethany Beach\,\nDe laware\, and posts a painting daily on Instagram. Jan’s style\nevokes ea rly 1900s modernism\, with her pieces featuring elongated\nhorizons\, abst racted trees\, and wispy waterways. 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. The artist’s pastel\nworks are intensely saturated with fiery bl ood oranges\, strong violets\nand pinks\, and electric teals.   Based in New Jersey\, Catherine\nMartzloff has been painting for over two decades. 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. Her award-winning figurative and\nnature-based watermedia artwork celebra tes the wonders within and the\nfleeting moments we share on life’s coll ective journey. She uses\nwatercolor and acrylic to convey her unique narr ative\, deeply\ninfluenced by her cultural heritage\, travels around the w orld\,\nliterature\, and an abiding love of nature. By combining dynamic c olor\nwith detail\, her artwork transforms both the mysterious and familia r\ninto something radiant and visionary. Her landscapes blend contrasting\ nshades through sharp brush strokes\, making her scenes teeter between\nre alism and impressionism.  “Color My World” is on display from\nApril 4-26.
