Originally from Northern New Jersey across the river from Manhattan. My surroundings at an early age encompassed theater, ballet, writing and music as well as art. Proximity to New York City afforded so much to absorb. I was the first member of my family to go to college starting with Montclair University and later the completion of a Masters Degree in Art Education from New York University. Early years were spent teaching Art as well as designing (free-lance Graphic Design and Illustration). When I resettled on Cape Cod in 1984, I taught Art at Cape Cod Community College from 1984-2000. During that time, I went back to school to get a second masters degree: MFA in Visual Arts and Printmaking from UMASS in Dartmouth. Though I have always been committed to teaching Art and opening a new world of seeing and creating, my own world increasingly centers on creating my art and exhibiting both nationally and internationally. I had a recent solo show at Cape Museum of Fine Arts entitled, "Nature: the Obsessive Quest" which closed in January of 2015 and now an upcoming solo show at the Cotuit Center for the Arts, which opens February 20, 2016: "Shifting and Unfolding"

K. E. Sekararum
Performing Arts: Dance, Vocal; Visual Arts: Printmaking
K. E. Sekararum is a multi-media and performing artist whose work currently focuses on intaglio printmaking techniques. Elizabeth spent 20 years in Indonesia where she devoted herself to performing, preserving and promoting the traditional arts of East Java. In addition to managing the Mangun Dharma Art Centre, Elizabeth performed as a singer and dancer throughout the archipelago, on national television, and as the host and star of Elizabeth Nyindhen (Elizabeth Sings), a weekly regional television program that showcased traditional gamelan orchestral music. During her time in Indonesia, Elizabeth learned to embody the rituals, symbolic animism and mysticism that infuse so much of the Javanese performance aesthetic. Combining her passions for theatre, dance, music and the visual arts, and building on her performing arts career and extensive ethnographic research, Elizabeth earned a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Western Australia in 2014. In 2016, Elizabeth completed a Certificate in Green Printmaking at Zea Mays Printmaking. Her work is included in the Zea Mays 2017 flat files and archives. Elizabeth is also a member of the Boston Printmakers and the Printmakers of Cape Cod. Using the technique of copper plate intaglio, Elizabeth's current work explores her Javanese experiences. No longer daily immersed in the life of a Javanese singer and dancer yet enriched by years of experience, Elizabeth's work questions states of identity and embraces the distorted lens of the embodied outsider.
Timothy Struna
Timothy Jon Struna is an established painter and printmaker with a professional career approaching five decades. After graduating from Bowling Green State University in 1969, his time was divided between teaching and studio painting. Although he enjoyed teaching, his goal was to produce art on a full time basis. In 1977 he opened his own studio/gallery in Northeast Ohio and resigned from teaching to devote his energy to painting and printmaking. In 1987 the gallery was relocated to Cape Cod, its new location situated along historic Route 6A in Brewster. In 1998 his daughter Heather opened a gallery on Main Street in Chatham, which shows exclusively his work. Working with the mediums of watercolor, oil, acrylic and copper plate engraving, Struna has developed his own characteristic style – incorporating subtle abstract qualities into traditional realism. He has a sharp eye for detail and a solid command of draftsmanship. Everything around him influences his palette and brushwork. He is a keen observer of nature and his surroundings. His painterly yet precise style may be accurately divided into three areas: architecture, nature and the still life. Struna uses color naturally, blending his palette to achieve the perfect shade for the ever-changing Cape Cod landscape – his preferred subject matter. His work reflects a great appreciation for this area, focusing on the beaches, marshes and cranberry bogs as well as classic studies of Cape architecture. Struna explains the notable absence of people by saying, "I rarely put figures in my paintings because I want myself, and in turn the viewer, to be the human element in the painting. I want my viewers to experience the scene on their own, just as I painted it in the studio. To see the subject as I am seeing it, like the beach at sunrise before there's another footprint in the sand." As a longtime award-winning Signature Member of The Copley Society of Boston and The Ohio Watercolor Society, his work is included in both public and private collections all over the world.
HoYin Yuen
Teacher/Instructor; Visual Arts: Ceramics, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Works on Paper
My name is HoYin Yuen. I am an art educator working on Cape Cod. I see my personal work as an artist as informative to my practice as an educator. I am constantly reminded and taught about the artistic process through my personal work which I bring into my profession as an art educator. I am well versed and work in a variety of media. In my personal work I allow concept to come first, and I then choose which media will best convey that concept. In my recent work with clay I've been exploring student encounters that I have that are humorous, upsetting, frustrating and disheartening as narratives on ceramic vessels. The vessels deal with formal elements of clay looking at shape and form, while having an emphasis of duality with interior against exterior.
Joyce Zavorskas
The natural world has always been a sanctuary for me, a place to breathe wind and think and feel, undistracted at last. The activity of erosion presents images of natural disorder, inevitable entropy, as well as renewal and redemption. Random visual quirks and oddities arranged by natural forces document fragments of time and suggest aspects of our contemporary culture and circumstances, under siege from wars, recession, climate changes, and indifference to the fragility of our environment. Retreating to the studio after walking in nature or painting on site provides distance from direct observation, an opportunity to edit and explore with more diverse organic materials, letting go of specificity and allowing pigment, wax, sand and debris to create the work. Random patterns and rhythms appear and disappear, elusive and eternal. My new paintings and monotypes investigate the possibilities of arranging earth's colors and forms in an enclosed composition, recording aspects and oddities of erosion, and fixing in time the face of the beloved before its demise. I want to transform paint an dink into sand and clay, to construct layered crusted surfaces that become cliffs or ocean or remain abstract rhythmic patterns. Now I feel compelled to pursue a deeper level of scrutiny in my work, and emphasize the loss of beloved narrow land places. An exhibition of 18 new paintings was featured July- September 2011 in the Polhemus, Savery, DaSilva Gallery at the Cape Cod Museum of Art.
