She is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades, including joint first prize in the 2010 International Picture Works Competition in Ireland. A local institution, the Schoolhouse Gallery of Provincetown, represents Karen Cappotto.
Ernest W. Watson and Aldren A. Watson, grandfather and father, respectively, began a Watson family tradition of artistry, one in which Thomas Aldren Dingman Watson carries on to this day. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Watson’s works have been exhibited internationally and placed in corporate, museum and private settings. Working out of his own Thomas A.D. Watson Artist’s Studio in Truro, MA, Watson have come to be recognized most famously for his oil landscapes of Cape Cod.
Francie Rudolph’s work depicting natural and biological life cycles has garnered her both commercial success and critical accolades. Rudolph’s style integrates digital technologies with painting, photography and printmaking. Rudolph’s work has been published in The Boston Globe Magazine, The New York Times and Print Magazine. She has been commissioned by the John F. Kennedy Library, Harvard University and Teach for America to incorporate her unique artistry into their settings.
