John Caggiano was born in Brooklyn, New York, where he studied pre-engineering at Brooklyn Technical High School. He received a BA from Brooklyn College and an MFA from Pratt Institute, both with honors. His education was supplemented by courses at The Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Studio and Forum of Stage Design in New York City. He begins all work outdoors, en plein air, and applies final details in the studio. This approach enables him to capture the essence of time and place, which he interprets in his “Impressionistic-Realism” style. The colorful brushwork is at times enhanced with the additional use of a palette knife.

Miami Beach resident Katherine Coakley has had a lifelong affinity for art. After retiring, she picked up a paintbrush for the first time experimenting with watercolor and acrylics. Later, she took up oil painting, concentrating on the landscapes of scenic Cape Ann locales. A Colorist at heart and sometimes called a Fauvist she boldly wields her paint and brush.

For decades, I’ve pulled on my high boots and roamed Cape Ann’s many inlets and marshes. It’s my inspiration. I wait for the spring/summer return of the horseshoe crabs, rebirth of summer’s billions of minnows, revel in the living landscape of shifting tides, the distinctive drumlins, rocky shores, winding rivers worked by fisherman and clammers. Then there’s the long, long shadows of dawn or sunset catching sails and sea birds in the air.

Later I married and did a lot of sailing on the Maine coast, furthering my passion to capture and convey the coastal scenes with my paintings.

She moved to New England over three decades ago, and inspired by its beauty, began to paint the landscape.

In his words we get an understanding of his commitment to Art and understanding our journeys together. “One of my greatest learning experiences in Life and Art was packing up and leaving Rhode Island, ready to live in California. It lasted three months. I became very homesick...very homesick. While leaving the Grand Canyon, on my drive home, I remember telling myself that I would never do anything that I did not want to in my life. I would pursue the life of an artist.
