Though Lucia deLeiris
sketched in her early years, her career in art began around
1978. After graduating from the University of Maryland with
a degree in zoology, she spent a summer as a research
assistant at the 2000 acre Smithsonian National Zoo
Conservation and Research Center in Virginia. While
observing deer behavior, she did field sketches from the
jeep, studying their forms and postures. She then stayed on
at the center to illustrate the book, The Biology and
Management of an Extinct Species, Pere David's Deer (B. Beck
and C. Wemmer. ed., Noyes Pub., '83), and to do an animated
introduction for the Zoo documentary The Last Chance (Skrentny/Ames
Productions, '79). For this she spent hours in the marmoset
enclosure sketching the little monkeys as one rode her arm
and wrapped tiny fingers around her pencil. This six months
living at the breeding center was a turning point in her
life. Her interest in the workings of the natural world had
expanded to include its visual interpretation. From then on,
Lucia illustrated several books and articles,
including two Dover coloring books and posters for National
Geographic Special Publications. She illustrated articles
for magazines such as Smithsonian, National Geographic
Traveler, Cruising World, Ocean Realm. She painted
landscapes and seascapes wherever she traveled. Pere David's
Deer Book Jacket.
Lucia's continuing
interest in science often finds its way into her art. She
took three trips to Antarctica under the auspices of the
National Science Foundation Artist and Writer's program.
There she lived in science stations and field camps
painting, sketching and illustrating. She illustrated three
books: Natural History of the Antarctic Peninsula, (Moss,
Columbia University Press '88,) Antarctic Journal, text by
Meredith Hooper, (Frances Lincoln and National Geographic
2000,) and The Island that Moved by Meredith Hooper,
(Viking, and Frances Lincoln, 2004.) As well as exhibiting
in group shows, she prepared several solo exhibitions of
paintings at museums and galleries including Smithsonian
Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, Harvard Museum
of Natural History, Newport Art Museum in Newport, RI,
National Science Foundation, Arlington, VA, and Happy White
Gallery, Barrington, RI.

Del-Bourree Bach has been
active in the arts community for over 30 years. Starting as
an illustrator in New York, his work regularly appeared in
the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, National Review and
numerous other publications. Among his other illustration
credits are two books by the late Isaac Asimov and work for
the New York Philharmonic and Ringling Brothers Barnum and
Bailey Circus. Eventually he decided to devote his full time
to painting and pulled away from the more commercial side of
art. Since then his work has received over 150 awards in
worldwide competition and his paintings are included in
private, corporate and museum collections in the U.S. and
abroad.
Del is a signature member of
many professional arts organizations, including, the
American Society of Marine Artists, Artists for
Conservation, Society of Animal Artists, National Oil and
Acrylic Painters Society, National Society of Painters in
Casein and Acrylic, American Artists Professional League
(Fellow) and the Salmagundi Club of New York, where he
exhibits regularly and has served on the Board of Directors
and Jury of Awards.
Articles about Del and his
work have appeared in many art publications including
American Artist, The Artists Magazine, International Artist,
American Art Collector and Watercolor Magic.
His work is best described as
contemporary realism and although he is perhaps best known
for his paintings of the sea and the life around and in it,
Del does not limit his subject matter, but always looks for
new inspiration in the world around him. Basically
self-taught, he is a keen observer and although he is for
the most part a studio painter, he sketches and photographs
in the field and occasionally enjoys plein-air painting.
After 30 years in New York
City, Del moved his home and studio to Pirate Hill in
Mystic, Connecticut.

Keith Fox's artistic works have been collected by over thirty private collectors living in the United States of America, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Uruguay. Three of his paintings have been accessioned by the Museum of Work/Michel Giacometti, Setúbal, Portugal. One of his paintings is in the permanent public collection named "ART-TO-GO" in the Iowa City Public Library, Iowa City, Iowa, for free loan to library cardholders.
This past summer, Keith has taught two workshops at two different locations. He taught an eight-week course in cubist drawing at the Coleman Center of the Newport Art Museum and a five-week painting course at the South County Art Association, Kingston, RI. In the cubist drawing course, students explored both the analytic and synthetic cubism of such renowned artists as Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963). In the painting course, students explored the methods of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) by studying Japanese art, using perspective expressively, using simultaneous contrast, colored shadows, and color as a way to make social commentary.
During the academic year, Keith teaches courses within the Art Department at the Community College of Rhode Island; and during Winter Session, he teaches within RISD’s division of Continuing Education.
Keith has exhibited a series of paintings that treats the subject of women’s healthcare. The complete series has been displayed at the University of New England (Maine), Hope Gallery (Bristol, RI), St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center (Woonsocket, RI,) and the Jewish Community Center (Providence). Selections from this series have been shown at Rhode Island College (Providence), the Narrows Center for the Arts (Fall River, MA), the Woods Gerry Gallery at the Rhode Island School of Design (Providence), and the Coleman Center of the Newport Art Museum.
Keith received a BFA and MFA in Painting and Printmaking from the University of Wisconsin-Madison; he also received a BSSW in Social Work from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. In 2006, Keith was the juror for the Annual Abstract/Avant Garde Open Juried Exhibit at the Wickford Art Association.
