ARTISTS
PHYLLIS BAKER HAMMOND
Hamptons-based artist Phyllis Baker Hammond’s career has spanned seven decades. She started her professional career sculpting in clay, but in recent years has worked in metal, creating abstract works that can be displayed in the home or outside. In 2017 five of her large-scale works were created for a feature installation in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in New York City. In addition, Hammond won an award for her work in creating a dazzling orange enameled 10-foot steel sculpture in Japan's Ube Tokiwa Museum's International Biennale sculpture competition. The "Museum of Greenery, Flowers and Sculpture Prize" was presented in Ube in October 2009, for Hammond’s Redefining Space. Hammond uses an improvisational method to create her colorful sculptures from sheets of metal that are later bent, hammered and then powder-coated in brightly colored paint.
EMILY BROWN
Emily’s passion for art began at an early age with a love for pencil drawing and pen and ink. After earning her BFA at Mississippi State University, Emily moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and began her career in graphic design. She also launched her own line of handmade paper products before turning her full attention to painting. Working in layers and with bold colors and pure lines, Emily creates unique mixed media works of art. She now lives in Oxford, Mississippi with her husband, Brooks, and three daughters.
ELIZA GEDDES
Eliza Geddes is an abstract painter living in Locust Valley, New York. The interaction and repetition of shape and texture provide entry points with which to navigate the work. She is known for her unique painting technique which involves the use of mediums including house paint and vintage newsprint. Unlike other artists, Geddes uses a palette knife creating the illusion of textures and details throughout her compositions. With subjects ranging from abstraction to landscapes to portraiture of iconic figures, her work is immediately identifiable. Geddes received an MA in Art from New York University.
Her work has been exhibited in prestigious galleries including, Findlay Galleries, Manhasset, New York, Mulry Fine Art, West Palm Beach, Franklin Riehl man Fine Art, New York City, Holster Projects in London as well as her 2027 J. Mackey Gallery exhibition “Icons & Imagery” in East Hampton and 2022 J. Mackey Gallery solo show at Well Made Home in Palm Beach.
A favored artist among prominent designers, Geddes has been featured in publications including Elle Decor, Cottages & Gardens, Private Air Luxury Homes Magazine, London’s Matchbox Magazine, and Flavorpill. Her work is also in several private collections across the country, including the homes of A-list celebrities, luxury hotels and recently completed a commissioned portrait fora world renowned leader in finance for their global headquarters.
ARTHUR PINJIAN (1914 - 1999)
Arthur Pinajian was an Armenian American artist who live in Bellport, NY. After his death he became recognized as a notable historical artist joining the ranks of his former, more famous, peers such as William de Kooning, Pablo Picasso, and Franz Kline. While never seeking or receiving his deserved critical acclaim in his lifetime, Pinajian has made a posthumous impact on the post-modern art world.
Pinajian painted in a variety of styles ranging from the figurative to the abstract. The word exploration sums up the nature of his quest: he worked in the manner of Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, and Cubism before turning to Surrealism and various modes of abstraction, including Abstract Expressionism. In the end, he forged his own style without a heavy debt to others. It is noteworthy that he became a veritable master of structural color.
DON SWANSON
For more than four decades, Don Swanson called The Frick Collection in New York City his professional home, rising to become the institution’s Chief of Collections Preservation and Graphic Designer. He retired from The Frick in 2017. Throughout his multi-faceted career at the Frick, Swanson pursued his private passion for painting. Swanson’s paintings are abstract, contemplative and vibrant and about the imagination where the viewer discovers something on the canvas and supplies the narrative. Swanson says his paintings celebrate the “joy of color and surfaces.” He likes to work in “layers of glazes – the finished effect creates a sense of depth and ambiguous space.”
LYNDAL VERMETTE
Lyndal Vermette is an Australian artist living in Westchester County, New York. Vermette grew up in a creative and artistic family where creativity was encouraged and role modeled. Trained in the studio of her mother’s art gallery, Vermette is largely self-taught. Her favored media is alcohol ink, a type of fluid art that is manipulated with varying drying techniques to produce a rich vibrant pop of color. She also works with resin and acrylics.
