WPCNR's Gallery Stroll. October 11, 2005: The work of White Plains residents Elaine Hardie and Robert Cattan is on display at Full Circle Gallery, Gifts & Gourmet this fall at 1421 Mamaroneck Avenue. Ms. Hardie’s watercolors portraying her favorite subjects – people, flowers and landscapes – will be exhibited though November 12. These paintings exemplify Ms. Hardie’s interest in the versatility of the medium.
A licensed Art Teacher, Ms. Hardie has taught on the secondary level in the New York City School System as well as in the Graduate Art Department of the College of New Rochelle. Her watercolors have been exhibited at the Silvermine Annual Art of the Northeast Show, the Mamaroneck Artist’s Guild, the Northern Westchester Watercolor Society Shows and the Oresman Gallery.
Born in Uruguay, Mr. Cattan immigrated to the US as a teen and found a method to communicate through photography. Over the past 25 years, he has explored a variety of photographic avenues including studio work for clients such as American Express, MasterCard and IBM, optical effects for audio-visual presentations and fine art printing for top photojournalists. His photography has been exhibited at several shows including the Louis K. Meisel Gallery, the Catskill Center for Photography and the Belle Levine Arts Center.
His most recent project includes the establishment of Botanicaarts.com - a web-based photographic arts site which specializes in his limited edition prints, journals, stationary, and books. Many works from this collection will be exhibited and on sale at Full Circle from mid-November through the end of the year.
