Both the love of beauty and the challenge of capturing it on canvas draws me to the easel. My imagery is inspired by an incessant need to observe things around me such as the colors of distant mountains and the alluring patterns found in the petals of a flower. Colors, shapes and textures are the stimuli of my oil paintings, and rhythm and harmony are the resolution. My experience of painting is a dance between formal composition and happenstance.

For the past twenty years I have been painting still lifes and landscapes. The still life paintings helped hone my ability to capture fine detail. The landscape paintings sharpened my skills in capturing giant vistas. My floral paintings bring both fine detail and giant vistas together in the same paintings.

Paul Gobell is a freelance artist living in Middletown, CT. He is a traditional oil painter whose surreal vistas freely alter reality. His artwork has been exhibited in museums and galleries.

Paul gives lectures and teaches Painting and Drawing classes. He especially enjoys his art sessions with the elderly and disabled. paulgobellstudio@gmail.com

Co-op Member: Barbara Toce

I love working with my hands and creating something that others appreciate and enjoy. I most enjoy working with natural types of material such as wood, glass, freshwater pearls, stones and those materials with a natural look to them. I prefer my pieces to have a light and airy feeling, so I make it a point to use light materials as much as possible.

I am captured by the appeal that Coco Chanel had with using costume jewelry to compliment her designs. It is as if she brought the idea of wearing this type of jewelry to a whole new level.

I remember as a child looking at my grandmother's jewelry collection and feeling like I was looking at her life history. Some were costume items, some finer pieces, but they were all very interesting. I must have looked through it a hundred times, and was always fascinated by each and every one. I never tired of seeing how she found a new home for a lonely earring on a chain, or how she took a necklace which was too long and made a complimentary bracelet for the newly shortened chain. I truly believe she really turned on those creative sparks in me. I really love to share my history, knowledge and interest with jewelry making with those around me.

I taught a Jewelry Making class for 2 years at Travelers Insurance. I have performed repairs on pieces given to me by clients and have also provided custom designed pieces based on clients' specifications.
