ABOUT CINDY BERRY SULLIVAN

Annapolis Artist

Born in Waterbury, CT.

B.S. Education, Southern CT State University

MFA Painting & Drawing, UNLV, Las Vegas, NV

There is an energy I hope to convey in my artwork that I imagine is similar to the energy musicians hope to convey to their listeners.  

Much of my art is created with a soundtrack or a live performance as inspiration.

Each piece is begun with an urge to physically interpret the visual and the emotional through an expressive style and intuitive use of color. 

Though born with a hand tremor I have learned to use my hand movement FOR me balancing both the intentional and the accidental in a way that is always unique.

I hope the work “moves” you!

A photograph is a statement made by the artist. It encapsulates an individual reaction to a place, a person, or a thing encountered in the world. Once sent into the world, the photograph becomes a link between the maker and the usually unseen viewer, who makes it their own. The power of photography lies in that transformative moment. This show includes old favorites taken in Annapolis and around the bay area, and new work from the western US and further away.

Maryann Brail.Arnold watercolor artist, Maryann Brail, began painting after her retirement as a nephrology nurse. During her career, she worked as the charge nurse in Dialysis Centers in Maryland. As a snowbird, she has had the opportunity to study with talented artists in Maryland and Florida.  Maryann and her husband happily relocated to Maryland from New Jersey in 1992.The Annapolis area was a perfect fit for two dingy racers who longed for a larger sailboat. The couple spent many years cruising the bay on their boat Boomer. Her love of the water and boats is evident in some of her paintings. A recent watercolor painting, The Golden Hour, was awarded Best in Show at the Benfield Art gallery.

Bob Caffrey. “Being a registered architect has given me a lot of practice over the years with drawing and colors.My paintings can be found in several collections, including the Dries Collection in Milwaukee.I was honored to be selected to participate in 2015 Paint Annapolis. The best prize for painting I ever got was first prize from the Maryland Federation of Art for a watercolor of my Volkswagen.Some of the things I like to paint include outdoor still-lifes (e.g. trunks of trees, curved walks, rocks, weeds. etc.).I like to make ugly or ordinary things look good(e.g. storm aftermaths, traffic jams, trash collection, etc.).And then there’s “negative space.”That’s a fancy expression for light against dark.Edges of forests look good using negative space. My web-site address is robertcaffrey.com.

Janet (Kumer) Ewing. Janet, a native Annapolitan, grew up around artists. Her father, Harold Kumer, was an illustrator for the David Taylor Research Facility and her brother, Mike Kumer was a well known Annapolis artist who owned Annapolis Graphics.Janet decided to pursue a life long interest in painting after retiring from a career in highway safety as a Communication Director, Public Affairs Officer and Project Manager with the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

She has displayed portrait paintings at the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, the Sandy Spring Museum and the Annapolis City Hall Art Gallery. She has also exhibited paintings at the Calvary Methodist Church, as well as various restaruants in Annapolis. She also has participated in a group show with Bob Caffrey and Ann Sieling at Gallery333 at the Universal Unitarian Church in Annapolis.In addition to painting landscapes, she loves the challenge of painting portraits and currently serves on the Board of the Maryland Society of Portrait Painters.

Before retirement, she was a certified Public Relations Consultant, working as public information officer for both state and county agencies. Working in pastelsearly on,when no longer hampered by a day job she began to paint seriously in oil, pastel and watercolor.

Her work has been exhibited at The Chesapeake Fine Art Studio, the Kent Island Federation of Art, “What’s Up Annapolis” Gallery, Baltimore/Washington International Airport, The Circle Gallery and the Gallery 333 at the Universal Unitarian Church in Annapolis.

Jane Story.Painting and playing music became a passion of mine after I retired from teaching. I joyfully take painting classes at the Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) and plein air workshops in France and Ireland as well as California, New Mexico and Coastal Art in Maine. I have shown my work at the AACC and the Maryland Federation of Art. My choice of medium is oil.

Making art is challenging.You are constantly refocusing, problem solving and generating your creative energy.Music inspired my art at different stages. 49 West is a great host for our Sunday morning jam sessions.They provide a welcoming environment for all the musicians as they come together to greet the day in Annapolis.

“Being the First Latino to be commissioned to commemorate the 2006 US OlympicTeam and USOC to represent the 2006 Olympics for the United States, I want tomake sure that I am Not the Last”
Jesse Raudales

Internationally acclaimed celebrity artist Jesse Raudales, whose work is featured in museums, galleries, organizations, and homes of many collectors, displays a deep sense of Pure Originality, Beauty, Spirituality, Strength and Reality in his images. For any artist, it would be a dream come true to be selected as one of the artists to create an image to commemorate the 2006 US Olympic Team. That dream is now a reality for Jesse Raudales, a North Hollywood based artist, who was selected among thousands of applicants to represent the 2006 Olympic Games, standing next to his fellow artist, Jane Seymour and Peter Maxx. His Olympic painting, “Peace for the Children of the World” opened in California, toured to New York and then went on to the Olympic Games in Torino, Italy. Since becoming an Olympian, Raudales has been honored by the NAACP, FBI, Warner Bros. and the EPICC Center and featured as a rising artist in international press. Raudales was the first Latino artist from the USA chosen for the 2006 Olympic Games and has received high acclaim for his passion to paint and dedication as a father. His artwork has been featured on television and in the homes of many celebrities including Academy Award nominee, Terrence Howard, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Rick James, and many more. He has also designed logos and airbrushed fashion concepts for celebrities such as MC Hammer and the late James Brown. His list of accomplishments also includes designing logos for Martin L. King III, basketball star Dwayne Wade and the official Miss USA Pageant logo.

The story of Raudales begins in North Carolina and has captured the hearts of many. Born stillborn, his mother prayed to God to let her son live. She coddled him for several minutes and miraculously, Jesse gasped for air and was brought to life. His mother honored her gift from God by naming her son Jesus Guadalupe Raudales but after several years of being teased at school, he was later nicknamed Jesse.

Jesse Raudales is active in his community and continues to donate his originals to a variety of nonprofits including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Zo’s Summer Grove, Sparks Of Hope, Inc., The OASIS, Hands United Together, and the Boys and Girls Club of America. In February 2007, his Peace for the Children art show was hosted by long-time friend and client, Terrence Howard, and was held at CCH Pounder’s art gallery (Pounder Kone Art Space). Jesse showcased five original paintings marked with the handprint of his son, Jesse Jr., honoring children around the world who are victims of child abuse. Jesse’s art exhibits include Colors to Life Beautiful, an exhibition inspired by Alice Walker’s Color Purple at the 626 Gallery at Studio B in downtown LA’s gallery row and his solo show, My Real Name is Jesus, hosted by Jermaine Jackson which was also held at 626, focusing on his life story and the inspiration behind his most versatile works. His art has been showcased at many galleries and private shows around the world including Downing Gross Art Gallery, Epoxybox, Chase Mitchell, Million Dollar Make the Discovery Retreat for the Oscars® and the City of Annapolis’ first annual Dia De Los Muertos – Day of the Dead celebration and Capital Gazette, a Baltimore Sun Media Group publication.

“Jesse, being an Olympic Artist is a major accomplishment for any artist. As you know artist from Matisse to Andy Warhol, Jim Dine and Roy Lichtenstein have been artist chosen to commemorate the Olympic Games . Welcome to the Olympic Art Family. ” — Jack Scharr, President

Metal to follow.

David Arthur (Annapolis) is a trained graphic artist and photographer.

Jonathan Bartlett (Minneapolis, Washington DC resident since 1991) Jonathan’s exhibit highlights examples of his primary focus – portraiture that captures the personality of his subjects.

“You don’t look sick!”

October 25, 2018 By Leave a Comment

Please join us for the opening reception Sunday, November 4th, 5-7pm.
“You don’t look sick!” is an all too common phrase that one with chronic illness hears often. That’s about half of American adults, perhaps looking fine on the outside, but feeling sick and tired on the inside. It’s a depressing, isolating experience, especially as one navigates their acquired disability, struggling for a diagnosis.  This however is not their defining experience, but often a long overdue explanation of a life that was somehow familar or normal to them.
This show is a visual journey of the unending battle of constantly being ill. It’s a deciphering of symptoms versus identity. It is the highs and lows, frustrations and victories, in abstracted forms. It is the grief, the hope, and found humor of our unique yet shared experiences.
