paintings and drawings have been shown in the Brattle Gallery,
Boston; the Margaret Brown Gallery, The Museum of Fine Arts, the DeCordova
and Dana Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts, the Brooklyn Museum, the Joseph
Heller Gallery and the Poindexter Gallery all in New York. At present, he
is working in collage. The pieces are abstract and although there are
images and ideas in them, he'd rather that viewers make their own
discoveries so they have not been titled.
Tom Cuchara
My interest in nature photography was sparked by watching eagles
soaring over the Shepaug dam in Southbury, CT. Over the past 15 years, my
love of capturing unique animal behavior on film has taken me to exciting
locations such as Africa, Alaska and Maine, among other places. It is a
challenge for me to capture on film the essence of animals and their
relationship to the environment. At times, the environment itself has
drawn me to seize the opportunity to capture that one magical moment in
time.

Jaime L. Ursic
holds an MFA in painting and printmaking and is presently working
in the education department at the Yale University Art Gallery. She is
interested in automatic mark-making as an involuntary action bordering on
an obsessive need to infect the surface of a canvas. She struggles to
facilitate each mark in finding its place, while simultaneously
maintaining that every mark, if not every thing, is no more than a memory
of something, a trace. Each mark begs the question, "Is it a gesture that
lacks a story or an epic memorialized by a story-less hand?"
Harry Wasserman
is a largely self-taught painter, who throughout his scientific
career in Yale University's Chemistry Department, has remained active in

Graduate Club and the Sandpiper Gallery in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
