JACK RYAN : A selection of prints of original pen and ink stipple illustrations
of iconic buildings and vistas in New York City and surrounds | framed.
Gallery hours: Friday, Saturday, Sunday : 11am to 5pm
If you missed Jack Ryan’s recent exhibition of 30 drawings at the West Tisbury Public Library you can now view a selection of 15 framed prints at Pathways through April 23, 2022. Island based part-time artist, Jack Ryan has for decades been fascinated with his hometown, New York City and surrounds.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Ryan studied with architectural illustrators at the renowned Pratt Institute of Art. As a young man in the 1970’s he explored and scrutinized nearly every architecturally significant building and bridge in Manhattan, sometimes in passing, other times as a dedicated field trip. Oftentimes trespassing and possibly endangering his life!
You can read more about these experiences in the article Jack Ryan at the Post Office / Arts and Ideas, 2015
Mr. Ryan employs a stippling technique for his original pen and ink illustrations, using Rapido-graph technical pens with minute nibs. A time consuming effort, the success of which is measured by achieving relative contrast between light and shadow using dots.

Artist Statement: My paintings attempt to represent a single moment of observation, cast in the light of one’s own subjective experience. It is in this experience that we find ourselves connected to the world around us, but also divided by the beauty of our loneliness. I work in many thin layers of oil paint on wood, adding and subtracting until it feels right. I have no formal training as an artist, but have had many teachers along the way. Originally from Western Mass, I have found home here on Martha’s Vineyard.

5th February to March 1st, 2020
Jamaican native, SHAVANÁE ANDERSON, who now resides on Martha’s Vineyard, has been making art for most of her life, yet only started painting a year ago. Her vibrantly colored, Afrocentric, graphic compositions are part of a series of 12 striking portraits of inspirational women whom she feels have left an imprint on her and who have influenced her life positively – including Des’ree, Michelle Obama, Toni Morrison, Oprah, her Mother, Beyonce, Frida Kahlo, and close fiends. She attributes her early inspiration to an art teacher who encouraged her, her own artistic mother, 90’s sitcoms, learning about the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and films like Black Panther.She works at various scales, using a number of mediums on paper, wood-panel and canvas. Anderson graduated from Suffolk University, majoring in Communication with a concentration in Film Studies and cinematography.
A selection of paintings by BASIA JAWORSKA from her ongoing Roots Music Series, of iconic African American musicians who each have pushed the boundaries of their art form, opening the doors for others to follow in their footsteps. Her subjects include Thelonius Monk – he had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire | Tina Turner – recipient of 12 Grammy Awards | Big Bill Broonzy (born Lee Conley Bradley) – a key figure in the development of blues music in the 20th century | Big Mama Thornton (born Willie Mae Thornton). She was the first to record Leiber and Stoller’s “Hound Dog”, in 1952 | Sister Rosetta Tharpe – the first recording star of Gospel music. She pioneered electric guitar techniques using heavy distortion giving rise to the electric blues. She influenced the British blues sound in the 60’s: Keith Richards and Eric Clapton.Jaworska works with oil and acrylic and mixed media on canvas, paper, wood panel.
Painter, CHIOKE MORAIS has recently been making one-of-a-kind utilitarian ceramics under the name Bent Wing Pottery, now available to the general public. Pathways has a selection of uniquely shaped mugs perfect for coffee, tea, cocoa, soup and more – and a number of unique bowls with interesting glazes.
Well known island artist, Suesan Stovall SUESAN STOVALL, of Groovy Sue Gallery in Oak Bluffs, with a selection of her characteristic mixed media collage assemblages on wood, paper and wood panel. Her pieces are soulful and spiritual, sometimes political, and often historical, exploring both her own personal journey and the journeys of others in the African diaspora.

Handmade Wrap Bracelets by Kelly Mica.
Each wrap is unique and one of a kind!
The materials I use are fire polished glass beads, dyed leather cord and an assortment of metal and wampum buttons.
I was born on Martha’s Vineyard but love to travel! Cross country road trips with my family every year was a great part of growing up. I’ve always loved art and making jewelry..I love these wrap bracelets and am always wearing them. I have a different one on every day! They remind me of a gypsy style. Right now I am living here with my husband, two kids and three dogs and loving our little island!

Cynthia McGrath is a serious scavenger who uses maps to discover old landfills and then researches her finds as much as possible. Her stunning display of jewelry crafted from unaltered sea glass also includes descriptions of the type and vintage of the finds. Her large and varied line, Original Cyn, runs from pieces featuring Legos & dominoes to painted and jeweled deer and snake vertebrae as well as semi precious stones, Swarovski crystals and pearls.
“I use as much found and recycled materials as possible,” she said. She also has a fondness for “anything kooky, fun and affordable,”

LET THERE BEE LIGHT by Theresa Berryman
Hand poured natural beeswax candles: tapers in many colors, little bear hugging a hive, angels, columns, more and more…this high quality batch of beeswax features the bee parts you find in unfiltered honey. The smell of beeswax is addictively warm and relaxing.
but wait . . .there’s more . . .did you know that paraffin (most) candles are toxic to you in the burning and to the environment in the processing? Natural Beeswax can clear the air of undesirable particulate. 100% pure beeswax candles might seem expensive compared to the paraffin tea lights at $5 for 100 at Ikea. But when you find out the pro and cons you will be sold on candles made by bees. For more on the benefits that come with natural beeswax click here…
