January 10-February 8:
"Soup to Nuts": paintings by Gillian Tyler

opening reception January 11, 11-12:30 p.m.

The Cloister Gallery is pleased to present the work of accomplished New Hampshire artist Gillian Tyler. The exhibit features oil paintings of New England landscapes and interiors, as well as seascapes from Bar Harbor, Camden, and Monhegan Island, Maine. Also included are several portraits, including one of noted poet and social activist Grace Paley. Longtime Marblehead resident Mimi Hollister, a collector of Tyler's work, says, "Do come to this artistic feast. Gill Tyler captures the heart of what she sees with gentle admiration. . . . [Her] landscapes are more akin to portraits of a particular scene." Tyler herself says, "I feel more present when I am painting than in any other part of my life."

A graduate of Smith College, Tyler attended the Brooklyn Museum Art School and as a Fulbright Scholar studied in Hamburg, Germany. She first studied painting under James Edmund Fitzgerald. While at Smith College, she pursued wood engraving under Leonard Baskin.

In the 1980s, Tyler returned to painting in oil and watercolor, under the guidance of Don Stone. Her work has been displayed at the Lupine Gallery, Monhegan Island; the Copley Society of Boston; Longwind Studio, Lyme, N.H.: Gallery 47, Woodstock, Vermont; and Castle Gallery, Fort Wayne, Indiana. She offers plein-air workshops in Lyme during the summer.
