Heather Goff loves to take
photographs, and she loves to design and program
websites. She found herself looking at the hundreds
of digital images taken in the last two years
since she bought her first digital camera and
decided to make them accessable to the world at
large. And thus the site mvlandscapes.com was
born. The island of Martha's Vineyard where Heather
lives is a beautiful backdrop to everyday life,
and she hopes through her website mvlandscapes.com
to share the island's many views.
If you are an artist who would like to have a website or to revamp your existing website, please check out the skills that Heather offers. http://www.goffgrafix.com/webdesign.shtml
FeatureAndrew Gordon Moore
Andrew Gordon Moore operates a studio and gallery in Harhaven, Oak Bluffs, on the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard. He is a realist painter, working in watercolor, egg tempera and oil. As a hunter, fisherman, sailor, and self-taught naturalist, the world outdoors is his source. Andrew's work reveals this deep involvement in and appreciation of island subjects studied through every season. Occasionally, the artist journeys to coastal Maine and other locations adding these images to his predominantly Vineyard-based work.
While Andrew encounters the subjects of his paintings during excursions on the sea and in the field, he paints the final work in a controlled, slowly-layered manner in the studio. Here, he surrounds himself with objects from the field - rocks, grass, dried plants, fish, birds - and numerous drawings and photo- graphs. Andrew then builds the idea from a small sketch into the intricate final painting, blending studied detail into a strong composition of color, tone, pattern and form.
Andrew's work is owned by collectors, mostly from New England, often with ties to Martha's Vineyard. While he has shown on Newbury Street in Boston, at various Vineyard galleries, and had a one man show at the New Britain Museum of American Art, he prefers the direct contact offered by his private gallery. He appeared in American Artist Magazine, June 1998, and New England/ New Talent, an exhibit of seventeen artists chosen from a field of five hundred at the Fitchburg Art Museum. More>>
