Paula Schiller

Paula Schiller is a painter and printmaker who has been involved in the making of art since childhood.  After graduating from college with a degree in English education, she returned to the loves of her earliest years, art and dance.  She began her studies at the Brooklyn Museum Art school and continued them at the National Academy of Design, the School of Visual Arts, and the Art Students League, while also earning a Master’s degree in Art Therapy from Pratt Institute and certification in Art Education from Montclair State University.  Her teachers have included Bruce Dorfman, Miriam Beerman, Wolf Kahn, and Michael Dillon.  Ms Schiller was a winner in the Art Center of Northern New Jersey’s first Emerging Artists competition, for which she was awarded her first solo show.

Paula Schiller is a member of Salute to Women in the Arts (serving as vice president for exhibitions in 2000-2002) and a juried member of the Painting Affiliates of the Art Center of Northern New Jersey, as well as the National Association of Women Artists.  Her work has been shown in venues throughout the metropolitan area, including the Belskie Museum in Closer, NJ, the Kent Art Association in Kent, CT, the Walker-Kornbluth Gallery in Fair Lawn, NJ, and the Nexus and Westbeth Galleries in NYC.

Carolyn Kaldy

Kaldy attended Fairleigh Dickinson University, and is a graduate of Traphagen School of Design, where she majored in Fashion Illustration and Textile Design.

With a background of 40 years as a stylist and designer for women’s apparel, sleepwear and children’s wear, she currently designs for outdoor patio furniture. These patio prints are featured in all the major stores nationwide.

During many years of foreign travel, influenced by Parisian and Italian designs, she has incorporated those elements into her own work.

Her favorite choices are pen and ink, and oil. Landscapes and antique houses are very important, along with a lifelong love of flowers, using oil as the preferred medium.

Stanley J. Jakubaszek has spent the past thirty-five years in  architecture and facilities management.

I came back to watercolor several years ago because of the challenge of the medium and the need to express the inner artist without the rigidity of the career environment.I’m primarily self taught as a watercolor artist but I’m continually learning the medium through the use of workshops and extensive study of past works. I attempt to find the beauty in the mundane and obvious and the hidden dignity of the human spirit in my paintings.
