Attendees will get to ponder the question at <b>“Symbiosis: Sisters, Muses, Mentors,”</b> an exhibition of paintings by sisters Deborah Rolig and Diane (Dee) Gray, Oct. 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Art League of Ocean City’s <a href="http://artleagueofoceancity.org/"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #3100b0; text-decoration: underline;">Center for the Arts</span></a>.

Rolig</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">, of Snow Hill, is a fine artist whose work is familiar to many on the Eastern Shore, while Gray, of Lewes, Delaware, has a background in nationally distributed graphic design. While each has a distinctive style, an undeniably reflective thread runs through their paintings, as the two closely collaborate while conceptualizing and creating.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“We always have collaborated and encouraged each other through almost every painting over the phone and in photo texts,” said Gray. “We are always open and honest, and cheerleaders for each other to keep pressing on. We both ‘get’ each other when it comes to our art.”</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Rolig’s paintings have a narrative quality that juxtaposes bits of realism on abstract fields. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #1a1a1a;">The rich textures and layers of color give the viewer a sense of the evolution of each painting. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Gray’s work incorporates a unique illustrative style combined with vintage papers, a touch of charcoal pencil, affirming messages, acrylics and glazes.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Rolig graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting and drawing. Early in her career, she painted murals for a government-funded program called Art for Public. Her recent work is represented by several galleries on the Eastern Shore, including Bishop’s Stock Gallery in Snow Hill MD, Nest in Berlin, MD and two Rehoboth Galleries - Philip Morton Gallery and Gallery 50.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Gray is a graduate of the former Maryland College of Art and Design. Her 20 year career as founder and president of <i>Boomerang Studios</i>, a graphic design and illustration firm, has included many award-winning design projects for high-profile clients. She has also found time to pursue a licensing venture, <i>Green Street Garden Party</i>, that introduces sustainable living to children through vividly illustrated characters. Under the signature label <i>Gathered Curiosities</i>, she creates mixed-media items using found objects and upcycled art, which can be purchased at several area shops including The Green Doors and Serenity Shoppes in Snowhill and “Nest” in Berlin, Maryland.</span></div>

Gray and Rolig are also partners in ShaDeeLa Creative Workshops, periodic classes that provide participants with meaningful personal explorations through art. They are the daughters of Severna Park artist Richard H. Harryman, whose own work is known for its evocative scenes of the Chesapeake Bay region. So it seems that artistry, for these sisters, really is a family affair.<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Once again The Queen's Ink in Savage Mill, Maryland provided the perfect gathering space for like-minded souls to meet and express their artistic abilities. Negative self-talk flew out the window and positive energy filled the room as we began to create a new language for ourselves that poured out onto soft fabric journals in the form of affirmations. Each journal was a unique expression of words, phrases and objects that resonated with each participant. The nostalgic act of sewing bits of personal ephemera felt grounding as we planted new seeds of thought that nourish the soul. This class truly touched everyone's heart and is for anyone looking for positive growth both artistically and spiritually.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Saturday's Altered Shadow Box Workshop proved to be an interesting peek into people's lives as objects and the stories behind them were shared and observed. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Students brought in their tiny treasures, along with donations for the “share bowl,” to be thoughtfully placed within the many little niches of their box. Layering, distressing, design and depth of field were just a few of the techniques demonstrated. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was fascinating to see and hear the stories develop as each Shadow Box came to life. As always, in true ShaDeeLa style, we laughed, had fun and realized that it's the "small" things that count and everyone has their story to tell. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ShaDeeLa has two classes coming up that you don't want to miss. As children we were able to experience the sheer joy of creative expression with abandon. We painted, colored with crayons, played with clay and even made mud pies. We didn't care what other people thought and we did it because it fulfilled something within us. As we grew older, belief systems were formed and we began to stifle those creative urges out of fear. Fear of not conforming or being accepted. Many of us considered ourselves to be non-creative and that art and self expression was only for a chosen few. Little did we know that our inner artist still resides deep inside us and is waiting to be unleashed. "Fearless Painting" will allow you to explore and rediscover the joy of creative process without self judgment and limitations. "Journey into the Soul", a two day workshop takes you a little deeper by unlocking pent up energy that is held in the body. Gentle Yoga, breathing techniques, and music opens up the soul and allows energy to flow onto the canvas. No previous painting or yoga experience is required. Just come with an open mind and heart. </span><br />

Saturday, June 2nd, the ShaDeeLa team took "Nature Journaling" to a
whole new level. The class, led by Dee, began with a sensory exercise. Each
person had the opportunity to describe an object using all the senses while the
rest of the class (with their eyes closed) had to guess what it was. A great
exercise to sharpen the senses and hone in our descriptive language skills.

things to make your DIY project go smoothly— don’t paint on a windy day … make
sure the forecast isn’t calling for rain… and use exterior semi-gloss paint, it
will weather foot traffic, wine spills and mother nature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Watercolors are my nemesis...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dee and Deb create beautiful watercolors.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me, not so much. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Too much paint, too little water, too much water, too little paint. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You get the idea.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But that is all about to change.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Thanks to my </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Watercolor Challenge!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Twenty minutes,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">everyday,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">for thirty days,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I will </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">play</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">with watercolors.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">No plan.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">No pressure. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Just an open mind</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">willingness to let it happen.</span><br />
