A message from Robert:
It’s spring in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. Birds are arriving and the daffodils are poking out of the ground. Brooks and streams are flowing rapidly. The area, once lively with hotels large and small, has become a creative center for artists, crafts people and musicians. Local farmers markets feature seasonal produce, cheeses and baked goods. Many of them travel with their products to markets inNew York City

Creative energies are running as well. We eight members of the Catskill Artists Gallery are gearing up for a busy year of art activities, showing our work in June and August at major local Catskill Artists Gallery exhibitions. In addition, we will be participating in important art and craft fairs in New York New Jersey
We are proud of having created the website ourselves to help stress the individuality of our members and their unique approach to materials and techniques. Kathy Jeffers' ceramics and Cate Gundlah’s works in glass, for example, are as original and unique as any in the world.
As a member of the gallery, I feel a sense of accomplishment, having helped my friends and colleagues to make the transition from a traditional physical gallery to this exciting new entity which can reach so many art lovers everywhere. It is good to think about this degree of potential exposure and personal feedback.
This is a culmination of my own artistic development. I always felt like an artist, even in childhood. This was reinforced during school, college and university years, when I specialized in fine arts and art history. Professionally, this led to teaching college courses in studio art and history of art. Many exhibitions resulted in work in public and private collections. And now, I am part of this group of like spirits, all working toward a common goal.
