Thomas Hoffmann

Thomas Hoffmann lives and works in Orleans, Massachusetts. Most recently he’s been oil painting, mostly landscapes with occasional figures inspired by his recent move to Cape Cod. Tom studied Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design (1984–1987), and received his MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1993. He has worked as a freelance illustrator, teacher, graphic & user interface designer, and fine artist.

Here’s what Tom says about his working style, “I don’t have a rigid way of starting paintings. Sometimes it comes from a familiar scene that I finally see in an interesting light, or sometimes it’s just that I feel like painting something yellow that day. I ultimately want the paint, and they way I paint it, to be an integral aspect of what is painted. The subject and the materials inform each other through me as I work. Whether there is a figure, or just a lonely tree, I think of it at as myself wondering about my place in whatever space or time I’m painting.”

Christine Niles

A native New Englander, Christine graduated from the Swain School of Design with a BFA in Textile Design and Painting. Christine paints primarily in oils. Her works often represent liminal space. The planes between land and water, earth and sky expresses how the smallness of humanity meets the expansiveness of nature.
