WHISKEY DAYS (2010) (April 2010)
Maura Gahan
I started taking photos at age 14. It has always been of landscapes, sunrises, sunsets, and people.
A fateful meeting one day with Eileen Ford and I found myself working on the other side of the lens.
For 15 years I traveled around the world working as a model but always with a camera by my side to photograph the beauty that I was surrounded by.
These days I go to my happy place daily, the ocean. The day walks are sparking and the sunrise and sunsets are beautiful and so soothing to my soul.
I live in a seaside village that is truly a paradise to me, beauty all around me. So much to photograph and enjoy.
I feel truly blessed.

Carmen Drake Gordon
Painter Carmen Drake (1964) was born in Lincoln, Maine and grew up in Meriden, Connecticut.
Since childhood, she has had a passion for drawing and painting, winning numerous awards as a young artist. In 1984 she attended
the Paire College of Arts until she moved to North Carolina in 1986. With a child on the way, she put her focus on family and filled
any extra moments with creating decorative pieces and custom work for a boutique shop, Rosemary Etc. of Pinehurst, NC. In 2003
she decided to combine her love of art and antiques and opened C.R. Drake Mercantile, a shop specializing in primitive antiques and
reproduction furniture, where she sold her painted pieces. In 2008 she received the Special Operations Fund Scholarship making it
possible for her to attend the Academy of Classical Design and study with D. Jeffrey Mims. After attending the school for nine
months she became a student teacher, continuing her education at the atelier for nearly three years before studying under the direction
of Paul S. Brown. During the summer of 2012, Carmen studied at the Grand Central Academy in New York City.
Carmen resides on a small farm in Carthage, North Carolina finding inspiration for her paintings by surrounding herself with antiques,
her flower gardens, farm animals and nature. She operates Oak Hollow Studios out of the renovated 1901 original homestead to the
property. Not only does the studio serve her for creating her paintings, she also offers lessons and hosts nationally known artists such
as Robert Liberace, Colleen Barry, Katie Whipple, Michael Klein and Amaya Gurpide for workshops.
Carmen has exhibited her work at Ann Long Fine Art in Charleston, SC, East Oaks Studios in Raleigh, NC, Campbell House Gallery
in Southern Pines, NC, Arcadia Contemporary Gallery in Pasadena, CA and Collins Galleries in Orleans, MA. |
