ABOUT THE COVER
New this season, Bowersock Gallery is
pleased to present award winning artist
Jeff Eckert to their 2018 roster (See cover
and page 4). Having been the recipient
of high honors at countless National
art festivals, Jeff as a top graphite artist
continues, fervently, in his pursuit to keep
what he feels is a “dying art” alive. He is
well known for his black and white drawings
based in realism, and is quite pleased
to be showing at Bowersock.
Other notable artists on view in the gallery
include Alan Ammann who has been very
well received over the past few years.
Alan’s energetic, colorful contemporary
oils move the eye around canvas akin to
the way one might engage with a pinball
machine game! Pleasing as a whole, he
also leaves moments where one can rest
and find themselves lost in the wonderful
duality of his pieces. A realist and ateliertrained
painter, one of Ammann’s portraits
was selected as a semifinalist in the
prestigious Smithsonian National Portrait
Gallery Triennial Portrait Competition. His
work is generously on show throughout
the US.
Steve Bowersock, the gallery’s co- owner,
will be debuting his gold leaf series this
coming July. What we find here is a
complete exploration in reflection of light
cast from the gold leaf, surrounded by the
many variations of nature’s beauty. As he
captures a “moment in time” these new
works create space for peaceful, contemplative
meditation, upon viewing.
The gallery notes that it runs the gamut
from Abstraction to Realism, and features
ground breaking artists such as Julie
Beck, a contemporary, realist, painter who
is the Assistant Director at the Academy
of Realist Art, Boston. Whether an animal
or object, nothing is as it seems in Julie’s
work. Every scene is a story filled with
commentary on both the more intimate
