David is an artist with impressive skill working with oil on canvas, and a romantic capturing the special atmosphere of coastal Maine. I love the detailed rendering of houses, outbuildings and landscapes in a seasidey setting. I love the interiors with the play of sunlight beaming through old wooden double-hung windows. He captures childhood memories. A visit to his gallery and chat with him is a highlight of a visit to Rockport! Robert Hastings

RAA is an association of artists in the greater Cape Ann area. At 100 years, it is a landmark of fine art. The exhibitions, both of artist members and of Cape Ann stalwarts, are uniformly excellent. The Annual Auction in April is a f8unraiser not to be missed. Go.

Created by local Mother/Son Team Monique and Dan Feldman, each of these pieces are made using a variety of different techniques to get truly unique and stunning results! A fun hobby for Monique has quickly turned into an obsession for both artists. Inspired by the natural beauty of the world around us, these two get together every day and just enjoy creating truly One of a Kind pieces.
