About the Artists

Carolyn Conrad (Sag Harbor, NY)

Born in Massachusetts, Carolyn Conrad grew up in a rural town steeped in New England history that is a large source of her inspiration. Her early art training at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and undergraduate work at Massachusetts College of Art, helped form her minimalist and conceptual aesthetic. After first exhibiting in the Boston area, Ms. Conrad moved to New York City where she received an MFA from New York University. She lives and maintains a studio in Sag Harbor, NY.

Conrad’s art has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums in New York including Parrish Art Museum, Guild Hall of East Hampton (Awarded Top Honors and a Solo Exhibition), Alex Ferrone Gallery, Atlantic Gallery in New York City, and Katonah Museum of Art, among others. Throughout New England, her works have been exhibited in Cape Cod Museum of Art, the deCordova Museum, and Fuller Museum in Massachusetts, and others. Internationally, Conrad’s works have been presented in the Cloitre des Billettes, Paris, France.

A graduate of Ireland’s National College of Art and Design, and now based on Long Island, New York, Gráinne de Buitlear draws inspiration from her vibrant surroundings and nature’s understated beauty within the stunning lakes and coastline of the region. With influences of a creative family and the poetic imagery of her Irish heritage always present, Gráinne seeks to evoke the energy of a moment through texture and mark-making in pastel and paint.

Ms. De Buitléar’s work has been shown in numerous exhibitions in Europe and the United States, most recently in New York at Alex Ferrone Gallery in Cutchogue, Guild Hall of East Hampton, The Mills Pond Gallery in Saint James, and in Stonybrook at The Long Island Museum and The Reboli Center for Art & History, among others. Her works are held in private and corporate collections and commissions from organizations include International Museum of Wine, Radio Television Ireland, Dublin Tourism, Murphy’s Irish Stout, and Renaissance Technologies, to name a few. Gráinne’s repertoire also includes time as a professional actor.
