$350.00

8x10



Artist Bio:


Anne Meagher-Cook loved drawing and painting from an early age. She developed an appreciation for the beauty of nature and varying landscapes while travelling and growing up abroad, interspersed with time in Virginia and summers in northern Michigan. After a summer spent at the Corcoran School of Art, she studied at the College of William and Mary with a major in fine arts - primarily printmaking. She pursued a long career in art-related fields, from graphic and exhibit design to video production, and finally e-learning development.

 

Upon retirement, Anne discovered the joy of painting en plein air which combines her passions for art and the great outdoors. She relishes painting in the beautiful environs of Northern Virginia, soaking up the surroundings - using oils, brushes and palette knife to convey an expression of each place and moment in time.

 

Anne is a member of the Nova Plein Air Artists group (NPAA) and enjoys weekly outings to scenic areas, regional parks and local gardens. She has been fortunate to study with several of the area's finest plein air artists.

 

She is also a member of Falls Church Arts and the Vienna Arts Society.

Artist Bio:


Anne Meagher-Cook loved drawing and painting from an early age. She developed an appreciation for the beauty of nature and varying landscapes while travelling and growing up abroad, interspersed with time in Virginia and summers in northern Michigan. After a summer spent at the Corcoran School of Art, she studied at the College of William and Mary with a major in fine arts - primarily printmaking. She pursued a long career in art-related fields, from graphic and exhibit design to video production, and finally e-learning development.

 

Upon retirement, Anne discovered the joy of painting en plein air which combines her passions for art and the great outdoors. She relishes painting in the beautiful environs of Northern Virginia, soaking up the surroundings - using oils, brushes and palette knife to convey an expression of each place and moment in time.

 

Anne is a member of the Nova Plein Air Artists group (NPAA) and enjoys weekly outings to scenic areas, regional parks and local gardens. She has been fortunate to study with several of the area's finest plein air artists.

 

She is also a member of Falls Church Arts and the Vienna Arts Society.

Artist Bio:


Margitta Hanff was raised in Germany, Egypt and Switzerland before coming to the U.S. to study

biology and physiology. After raising her two children she turned to her first love – art – and

received degrees in computer graphics and illustration. Following a short stint as a graphic designer

and art director for a small record company, she decided to concentrate on fine art, taking classes at

the Art League in Alexandria and attending painting workshops in the U.S. and Europe. Being a

biologist, Margitta loves painting a large variety of subjects — from animals and insects to

botanicals and landscapes. Throughout her extensive travels she has kept a large number of

sketchbook journals documenting her numerous adventures and she very much enjoys plain air

painting.


Margitta is a signature member of the Virginia Watercolor Society and the Baltimore Watercolor

Society. She is also a member of the Potomac Valley Watercolorists, the Art League of Alexandria,

and Salon Eight, a group of eight painters who exhibit together. She has exhibits at the Art League

Gallery in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, where she also belongs to Gallery 75.

Her work has been exhibited at Green Spring Gardens, The Saint Andrews Show, River Farm

(headquarters of the American Horticultural Society), The Mill at Millwood in the Shenandoah

Valley, Strathmore Hall, Quiet Waters, Sibley Hospital and Georgetown University Hospital. She

has had solo shows at Skadden and Skadden in Washington D.C. Blue Heron Gallery in New

Castle, DE and the Clinical Center at NIH, in Bethesda, MD.


She has received numerous awards, the most recent ones being the Delaware Watercolor Society

Award at the Mid-Atlantic Juried Watercolor Show, Honorable Mention at the Women in

Watercolor Juried show in 2020, Second Place awarded by The Virginia Watercolor Society at

PVW’s Green Spring Gardens Show and Award for Best Watercolor Landscape 2022 at The Art

League Gallery in Alexandria.


Margitta feels fortunate to be able to fulfill her lifelong passion as a full time painter.

Artist Bio:


Margitta Hanff was raised in Germany, Egypt and Switzerland before coming to the U.S. to study

biology and physiology. After raising her two children she turned to her first love – art – and

received degrees in computer graphics and illustration. Following a short stint as a graphic designer

and art director for a small record company, she decided to concentrate on fine art, taking classes at

the Art League in Alexandria and attending painting workshops in the U.S. and Europe. Being a

biologist, Margitta loves painting a large variety of subjects — from animals and insects to

botanicals and landscapes. Throughout her extensive travels she has kept a large number of

sketchbook journals documenting her numerous adventures and she very much enjoys plein air

painting.


Margitta is a signature member of the Virginia Watercolor Society and the Baltimore Watercolor

Society. She is also a member of the Potomac Valley Watercolorists, the Art League of Alexandria,

and Salon Eight, a group of eight painters who exhibit together. She has exhibits at the Art League

Gallery in the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, where she also belongs to Gallery 75.

Her work has been exhibited at Green Spring Gardens, The Saint Andrews Show, River Farm

Sharon Malley

Nor’easter

$250.00

12 x 12


Artist Bio:

Sharon Malley is an artist working in Arlington, Virginia as a member of the Columbia Pike Artist Studios. Her work is shown at Touchstone Gallery in DC, and she has exhibited in numerous juried shows in the greater DC metropolitan area and mid-Atlantic states. She is also an educational consultant to school districts and non-profits, having contributed to a national agenda in arts education and special education through her publications and leaderships.


In her art, she shifts between two genres: abstract and narrative paintings. The theme of most of her abstracts centers on her deep reverence for nature and concerns about climate change. Her primary painting medium is oil, but she will often start on canvas or wood panel with a layer of acrylic and adhere rice paper and other collage elements to the background. She then works in oil. In her current narrative series she begins with preliminary sketches and compositions, but her smaller collages and all of her abstracts evolve in the moment of execution.
