New Works by Gallery Artists and recent works
from Plein Air Curacao:. Although the gallery
is officially closed except for the three days of
each First Weekend in January and February
(see hours above), visitors have an increased
opportunity for private viewings of the gallery’s
exhibits. Included in this winter exhibit
are paintings created during the first-ever
plein air festival held in Curacao. A group of
artists who participated in this year’s Plein Air-
Easton! Festival, as well as some enthusiastic
art lovers, went to this island nation in the
Caribbean late last summer. Their mission was
to assist the island artists in developing their
version of a plein air festival, and in spite of
oppressive heat and a near miss by Hurricane
Irene, the artists still captured the rich colors
and sights of the Caribbean. A selection of
their Plein Air-Curacao paintings is on exhibit
through January.

Troika Gallery owners Laura Era, Jennifer
Heyd Wharton, and Dorothy F. Newland have
been professional artists for most of their
lives. Besides landscapes, marine scenes, still
lifes, and studio subjects, the three women
are highly sought-after portrait artists. Working
in oil, watercolor, and pastel, they create
commissioned portraits, including children,
families, historical figures, pets, and homes.
The gallery owners often work on commissions
in an open studio setting behind the main gallery.
Visit them at their gallery for a lively, fun
experience with exceptionally talented artists
and some of the area’s best art experts. Troika
Gallery features 35 stunning artists, exclusively
represented in the region by the gallery
throughout the year. Specializing in fine,
classically based original art, this sophisticated
gallery has an elegant ambiance, yet offers the
charm and warmth of a friendly working studio
found nowhere else on the Eastern Shore.
Artist portfolios and gallery information are
available online at www.troikagallery.com.
