Dave Francis, PSA |
Pastel artist Dave Francis, a Signature Member of the Pastel
Society of America, presents his Toy Series, a group of fifteen
pastel paintings that take a nostalgic look at simple toys and
games of his past. Whimsically portrayed, the paintings
demonstrate Daves realistic pastel style and technique. Dave, a LARAC member, recently received the Outstanding Still
Life Award at the Northeast National Pastel Exhibition in Old
Forge, NY. He is also a founding member and President of the
Adirondack Pastel Society. |

Joyce Hanson |
Joyce Hanson captures the essence of the
Adirondacks in her light-filled pastel landscapes. Her paintings
depict not just classical views of the Adirondack Park, but rather glimpses
of the snapshots of beauty inherent everywhere one looks; a dirt
road carved through the forest, streams reflecting the tall
trees, a single birch stand amongst a grouping of evergreens. An
art instructor for nearly three decades, Joyce is now retired
and resides in the Northern Adirondacks with her husband, fellow
Light Fair exhibitor, Ron Pederson. She has won many awards for
her pastel work, including the Outstanding Landscape Award,
Masters Division, in Old Forges 55th Annual Juried Exhibition
in 2007. |

Paul Lange |
Photographer Paul Lange presents
his "Big Bloom" series of orchid portraits. These
large fine art photographs depict delicate orchids against a
stark, white background, incorporating light in a uniquely
dramatic manner; this imbues a lyrical or theatrical sense
to the floral portraiture, similar to how Paul has
photographed countless celebrities during his lengthy career
as an Editorial and Fashion Photographer, owning and
operating his own photography studio in NYC for nearly 30
years. Now working out of his state-of-the art photo
studio in the Hudson Valley, Paul specializes in Fine Art
Photography, portraiture, special assignments and private
commissions. |

Ron Pederson |
Woodworker Ron Pederson, displays his wood turned
designs, working primarily with reclaimed and salvaged pieces
from dead or storm-downed trees. The unique marks left by the
ravages of nature remain in the finished pieces, worked in to
create an aesthetic juxtaposition of man made object versus
naturally developed designs. Ron has explored many
artistic disciplines throughout his long and award-filled
career, including printmaking, watercolor painting, etching, and
illustration. He resides in the Northern Adirondacks with his
wife, Joyce Pederson, also an artist exhibiting in Light Fair. |
