Born in New York, Dale’s earliest memories of painting and drawing were from his Grandfather's own work, which hung throughout the home. Fascinated by the world around him, and the ability to capture fleeting moments on paper, he began to draw and paint from nature almost exclusively.

From 1993-97, he attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he studied the Reilly method with both Marvin Mattelson and John F. Murray. Inspired by the techniques, and hungry for more information, he began copying from the old masters at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

When Murray moved his studio to Tucson, Arizona, Dale followed and focused his studies on the palettes, methods, and materials of artists such as Velazquez and Rembrandt. 

In 2012, Dale attended the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, where he pushed his understanding of traditional techniques and materials even further while drawing and painting master copies in museums and painting landscapes in the countryside. 

In 2013, Dale returned to New York City, where he is currently immersed in the full-time program at Grand Central Atelier studying under Jacob Collins, Ted Minoff, Will St. John and Colleen Barry. He lives in Long Island with his wife, contemporary artist Karine Falleni, son, and hound dog, Moose.

Donald Jurney was born in Rye, New York, in 1945, and was educated at Columbia University, the Pratt Institute, and the Art Students League.  An accomplished painter, Jurney’s work is found all over the world. He maintains a studio on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

Tim McGuire (B. 1971) was raised in Buffalo, NY. In 2008, he left his career as a kindergarten teacher in Los Angeles to pursue painting full-time in Florence, Italy, where he subsequently stayed for ten years. There he studied traditional academic painting based on representing the world through the visual impression. He found these years of study to be very helpful in building a solid foundation.  

McGuire looks at the imaginative, emotional, and expressionistic side of painting and puts himself into the work. He makes paintings that are based primarily on his visual impression: his work in the process becoming less and less about how he sees and more and more about how he feels (which is usually pretty delighted). This sense of delight comes through in McGuire’s work and makes it unique his. 

In 2018 McGuire returned from abroad and now lives in Novia Scotia. McGuire's work has been exhibited in the United States, The United Kingdom, Italy, Russia, and Canada. 

Ginny Williams has a degree in art history which gave her an understanding of, and appreciation for the art of the past as well as the historical events and ideologies that fostered various aesthetics, movements, and styles.  

She has studied at several classical ateliers, including three years at Boston's Academy of Realist Art. Her work has been shown in galleries throughout the US and is included in public and private collections. She maintains a studio on the north shore of Massachusetts. 

"My work is about the little moments of beauty that comprise our existence: the greening of the landscape in early spring, the glint of light on an object; growing things and made objects. I enjoy creating interesting interactions, and making up narratives. I love the way light animates objects and the life shadows give to a space. Humans are innately creative beings. We create in myriad ways. I have made pictures for as long as I can remember. For me, the ultimate goal when I paint is to make a beautiful painting that shows parts of the process--evidence of an individual behind the easel. I love calligraphic brush marks and leaving parts of a picture to the viewer's imagination. I love pairing the realistic with the made-up. In this, we participate in creating art together."
