Hebert graduated from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY in 1973 with a degree in Fashion Design. She worked as a lounge singer for 10 years and took painting classes during the day. It wasn't until she discovered Betty Edwards' book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain that she actually began to draw with some confidence. After taking many painting classes, Hebert finally learned how to paint from Rockport artist, Helen Van Wyk.
	Jean Murphy As a painter, my happiest moments are when I am outside on a sunny day in front of my easel looking at nature. For me painting from life is the best way to paint. That extends to portraits, figures and still life in a studio setting. I have used the mediums of oil, pastel and charcoal extensively. In the past 25 years I have studied with artists from Holyoke to Provincetown and exhibited in many competitions within those boundaries and in my home state of Connecticut.
	Joanne Talbot Quinn Though I have been painting all my life, recently I have been primarily working with pastels and oils. My style crosses Realism with the softer edges and painterly qualities of Impressionism. As a Plein-aire painter, I love to explore and capture the gentle beauty and spirit of New England landscape. The winter months find me concentrating on painting still lives also from direct observation.
	Joyce Rettstadtstudied at Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, PA., and hold a M.A. from Clark University. I was a professional weaver of liturgical vesture until 1999. In 1997, I took a watercolor class at the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, MA, which opened up a whole new beginning for my creative life. I retired from weaving and am now painting full time! I think that my joy is reflected in my paintings.
