Moira Fain, Painter and Sculptor
4 Fox Trot Run, Sandwich |
Amanda Wastrom, Artist and Writer,
Lily Pond Hill Studio, 234 Old County Road, East Sandwich |
Moira Fain, whose creations were described by The New York Times as “bound to draw a response from the most blasé viewer,” has returned to the East Coast from welding sculptures for a Palm Springs gallery. Explore her plein air and studio paintings, sculptures, and topiary armatures.
David Phillips, Sculptor
22 Grove Street, Sandwich 
Five years ago, David Phillips moved to Sandwich where he established a new sculpture studio. The scope of his career encompasses public art, sculpture, functional objects, and painting. He is perhaps best known for his numerous large-scale commissions throughout the United States and Japan. Closer to home are his six large frog sculptures at Boston Common. Abstract public work can be seen in Harvard Square, near MIT in Cambridge and at Boston’s Seaport Park. During open studios you’ll see new work and work in progress for his upcoming solo exhibit this fall at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. Jeanne Bridges, Painter
38 Surrey Lane, Barnstable 
Jeanne Bridges has exhibited with many prestigious local and national art organizations. One of her paintings received national recognition as Top 100 winners in Paint the Parks and another was a Top 100 winner in Paint America, and both became part of traveling exhibits in the United States. A trip to the USSR resulted in a cultural exhibit with Russian and American Artists at Symphony Hall in Boston where Jeanne’s painting was sold and returned to Russian. A highlight of her career was painting in Monet’s Garden in France.

Amanda Wastrom is an artist and writer based in East Sandwich, where she lives at the end of a long driveway, on the top of a small hill, with her family, a flock of chickens, an overgrown garden, and some feisty honeybees. For the past twenty years she has been active in the New England arts community—as an educator, a writer, an artist, a designer, and a curator—and as a storyteller. On any given day, you’ll find her knee-deep in a beehive, walking along the neighboring cranberry bog, cutting, gluing, and scribbling on the floor, or scheming and dreaming with fellow creatives. She has worked with Heritage Museums & Gardens, Provincetown Art Association & Museum, Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, and Cape Cod Museum of Art.
Susan Bunbury, Painter and Digital Artist
16 Prestwick Road, Bourne 
I’m an artist who is always been passionate about creativity and expression. I’ve explored various art forms, including drawing, painting, and printmaking, and my work consistently reflects my deep love for nature and my artistic expression. Recently, I transformed my basement into a brand-new studio, which perfectly suits my creative growth and allows me to fully focus on my studio art. The studio also includes a dedicated area for digital graphic design. However, I also cherish painting outdoors, where the ever-changing light and environment inspire my work in ways that a studio can’t replicate. Through both my studio work and outdoor experiences, I continually push the boundaries of my mediums, always seeking innovative ways to connect with my audience and express the beauty I perceive in the world around me. I invite you to visit my new studio and see my art.

Catherine Rand, Fine Art Photographer
1300 Old Post Road, Marston Mills
1300 Old Post Road, Marston Mills
Catherine Rand is a Cape Cod-based photographer known for capturing the beauty, mood, and ever-changing light of coastal landscapes. With a background in graphic design and photography, she has a keen eye for composition, blending a designer’s precision with a photographer’s intuition.
Catherine’s love for photography began in childhood—one of her fondest memories is the excitement of picking up freshly developed photos. Travel has always been a part of her life, from early years spent exploring with a camera in hand to time living in New York City and San Francisco, as well as frequent visits to London and beyond. While she dabbled in photography as a career in NYC, her focus was raising her daughter.
Since moving to Cape Cod in 2019, Catherine has been passionately capturing every corner of its landscape. Inspired by the textures of nature and the interplay of light and shadow, her work has found a home in museum shops, art center galleries, and private collections. Beyond traditional prints, Catherine also creates images on aluminum and acrylic, a medium she first experimented with while living in New York.
