Melanie Chartier is primarily an oil painter. She is a south coast native who earned her Bachelor of Fine Art degree at Southeastern Massachusetts University (now U Mass Dartmouth). Following that she was awarded a teaching assistantship at Southern Illinois University where she earned her Master of Fine Art degree. Melanie married and started her family in the Chicagoland area where they remained until 2000. Now Melanie lives in East Sandwich with her husband and daughter and maintains a studio in the Shirley Blair Flynn Center for the Creative Arts in downtown Hyannis.

Her most recent work ranges from explorations with large shell paintings to her still life paintings utilizing objects as symbols to create meaning.

Her new challenge in both instances, is working toward incorporating a balance of representation and abstraction in each piece for the purpose of expanding her visual language.

Jenny Fragosa grew up and studied painting in Ohio, and has lived on Cape Cod for eight years. Her recent works include mono-type, encaustic, mixed media and a continual exploration of material all in an effort to capture movement through layering. Sociology is fundamental to her work.

Each work begins by exploiting the rare moments where we are all on the human line. Her background in design has paved the way for a line of one of a kind, hand made accessories. Her love and dedication to the arts forces her to form a proper introduction to each piece.
