Gallery One Reception

The artists of Gallery One in Ocean View are excited to welcome new partners Jill Glassman, Cindy Beyer, and Ray Ewing in our first in-person reception since 2019. Gallery One’s newest additions share something in common: they all bring a unique perspective to catching that fleeting and illusive moment where light, color, and atmosphere are at their peak. 

Ray Ewing brings to Gallery One a love of the plein-air painting tradition. For the past ten years Ray has taken his painting outdoors. Working in multiple media: oil, watercolor and pastel, Ray has been an art instructor, an active juror and a guest lecturer in the Washington, D.C. area for over thirty years. He has been featured in solo and group shows throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Ray’s works have been included in the Department of State’s Art in Embassies Program. Ray is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association, a signature member of the Baltimore Watercolor Society and the Maryland Pastel Society Jill Glassman is an award-winning artist working in pastel and oil.

Jill has competed in a wide range of events in the Mid-Atlantic region and her most recent awards include a first place in the prestigious Plein Air Easton competition, fourth place in the Left Coast Pastel Society International Show, first place in Quick Draw 2021 New Bern Plein Air, and a first place in Paint It! Ellicott City, along with honorable mentions in the Arizona Pastel Society International Show and Artist Paint Ocean City. Jill is a member of the Mid-
Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association, Plein Air Painters of the Chesapeake Bay, the Ocean City Center for the Arts, the Academy Art Museum, the Pastel Society of America, the American Impressionist Society, and the Oil Painters of America. She is also a juried member of the Working Artists Forum, and a signature member of the Maryland Pastel Society. “I love to illustrate what attracts me as simply as I can. What inspires me is the color and contrast of light and shadow on the subject.”

Cindy L. Beyer creates vibrant art in pastel, watercolor and oil. Cindy is a member of the Rehoboth, Millsboro, Milton, and Ocean City MD Art Leagues along with the Maryland, Piedmont (NC) and Naples (SW Florida) Pastel Societies. Cindy brings to her art the unique experience of having worked in interior design for 20 years. “Every piece of art has a story, told with color and light” Cindy says. “From a simple drawing to the most elegant pieces, art extends to the heart, and it makes a house, a home. Her mission is to create visual art that shares these stories, and will uplift your home with inspiration, offer solace, comfort, and bring peace to your surroundings.”
