After moving to the East Coast she studied under Harriet Winchester and showed successfully in various art galleries on the east coast as well as other art galleries in the U.S. She has been included in juried shows at Museums in Fitchburg, Lowell and Andover. She was awarded the Golden Easel on October the 3d, 2001 by the Nashua Area Artist Association.

She works with oils and acrylic, as well as watercolor on silk. Monika is a pianist so while she paints she listens to classical music. She is a published author(poetry), who keeps the tradition of her homeland alive in these turbulent 'global' times by taking photographs of the old world of Dalmatia. Monika had an exhibit at the Croatian Heritage foundation in 2010. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;What makes her work unique is that she hand paints fabric-silk and then transforms the pieces of colorful art into a simple pattern that is wearable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B8r1FoFAT00/T0U0zpADkUI/AAAAAAAAEfM/hND9mc-da9s/s1600/monika+roglic-dress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B8r1FoFAT00/T0U0zpADkUI/AAAAAAAAEfM/hND9mc-da9s/s320/monika+roglic-dress.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OBJyr5FKBn8/T0U00acKqUI/AAAAAAAAEfU/rfY7H2kNj-Y/s1600/william+turner-in+the+shadows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OBJyr5FKBn8/T0U00acKqUI/AAAAAAAAEfU/rfY7H2kNj-Y/s320/william+turner-in+the+shadows.jpg" width="215" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/87448666592979087-6821301038944427911?l=263artgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/6821301038944427911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/2012/02/march-exhibit-at-263-art-gallery.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/87448666592979087/posts/default/6821301038944427911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/87448666592979087/posts/default/6821301038944427911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/2012/02/march-exhibit-at-263-art-gallery.html' title='March Exhibit at 263 Art Gallery'/><author><name>marilene sawaf</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3xwYx0tZEq8/SNkrKP_PBbI/AAAAAAAAADw/43NfY41wLIw/S220/women+iris+and+marilene2.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B8r1FoFAT00/T0U0zpADkUI/AAAAAAAAEfM/hND9mc-da9s/s72-c/monika+roglic-dress.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87448666592979087.post-3129796033567236433</id><published>2012-02-22T10:31:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-22T10:31:29.166-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art opening'/><title type='text'>Student art Show at 263 Art Gallery.

All of the artists are a part of the AP Studio Art program at Hollis-Brookline High School, under the direction of Lina Pepper. Kelly will be pursuing Art History in college next year (along with theatre), in the hopes of some day becoming a curator. She loves  Museums, and she could spend all day in them. With this exhibit she wants to create an atmosphere that is enticing and thought-provoking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="byline"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;BY ERIC STANWAY Correspondent&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; NASHUA – It has been said that art is the international language, crossing all cultures and creeds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; That certainly holds true at the 263 Art Gallery, as a cosmopolitan group of artists will be gathering for “Holiday Celebrations,” commemorating the wide number of practitioners who have exhibited at the gallery over the last year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;The reception, which will take place from 3-6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 18, will feature works by Marilene Sawaf, Hsui Norcott, Albine Vermot Gaude, Gay Gawron, Suzanne Binnie and Alene Sirott-Cope, of Hollis; Pat Steiner, of Nashua; Jacqui Hawk, of Dunstable, Mass.; and Donna Howard, of Burlington, Mass.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;Many of these artists hail from different parts of the globe: Sawaf is from Lebanon, Norcott from China, Hawk from Scotland and Vermot Gaude from France.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;“The gallery has been in business for over a year,” said Hawk, who helps with publicity. “Every month, we have an Artist of the Month exhibit. This is the end-of-the-year celebration, featuring all of the artists who have exhibited here over the year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;“We’re inviting the public to a wine and cheese reception, where they can meet with the artists and discuss their work.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;The approaches that the artists bring to their productions are as varied as their origins, Hawk said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;“I’m a mixed-media artist,” she said. “I work with anything involving texture – wax, glass, decoupage, modeling clay. Marilene, on the other hand, is an oil painter, Hsui paints with oil on silk and Donna is a very whimsical artist.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;Hawk says one of the aims of the gallery is to promote local artists and their work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;“I don’t know why, but there’s a real resurgence in purchasing original art,” she said. “I personally have sold 33 paintings this year, which is quite significant for an emerging artist. There’s definitely an upward swing, which is so encouraging given this tough economy.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;Given that 10 percent of all sales at the reception will be donated to the Humane Society for Greater Nashua, it’s only natural that one of the exhibitors, Sirott-Cope, should have made a vocation out of creating pet portraits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; “I started in professional graphic design and somehow ended up in pottery,” she said. “After that, I switched to making jewelry, and that was my profession for a while. Recently, though, I’ve been focusing on pets, including dogs and cats.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; This sort of subject matter makes an ideal holiday gift, Sirott-Cope said.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;“I get a lot of work over the holiday season,” she said. “I have three dogs myself, so it was kind of a natural thing to combine my love of pets with my art. I believe that the 263 Gallery has about eight or nine of these pieces on display right now.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;The move into pet portraiture is a new thing for Sirott-Cope, as she started producing them only over last summer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; “I was admiring the work of some of my friends, who work strictly in oils or acrylics, and this inspired me to go into the fine arts myself,” she said. “But instead of painting portraits, I decided to combine painting with Photoshop. I just fell in love with the idea of portraying these little stories that people have around their pets.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; Sirott-Cope discovered there was a definite need for pet owners to reconnect with their companions that have died.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;“I had one customer who had a pet that had passed away, and he wanted to memorialize him by having a multimedia portrait,” she said. “Prior to that, I had just been creating portraits for people who loved their cats and dogs. Now, however, I’m getting work from those who want to remember their pets in this way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;“I thought that it was such a good idea that I portrayed two of my own pets in this manner.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt;Sirott-Cope’s approach to the work is a combination of technology and fine art techniques.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; “What I do is to take a photo that I either scan or someone e-mails me,” she said. “I open it in Photoshop, filter it a couple of different ways and print it out in color. Then I go over it with colored pencils and finish it off with pastels. After that, I’ll either mount it on a tile or a piece of board and pour resin over the top.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; “When the resin dries, the piece looks like it’s covered with glass. Not only does that protect the artwork, but it also gives it a nice finish. I then fit it with wire for hanging and ornament it with little ceramic bones. That gives the piece a nice whimsical feel.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; The artists in the exhibition are heavily involved in community outreach, Hawk said, and are finding creative ways to bring arts into the public arena. One recent event was organized by Art-Reach, a Philadelphia-based organization devoted to bringing the arts to under-served audiences. Each year, its programs enable more than 15,000 people with disabilities or economic disadvantages to gain exposure to artistic activities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; “Through Art-Reach, all of the artists painted a 6-foot by 6-foot mural in the lobby of St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua,” Hawk said. “The objective was to promote art in the context of a healing environment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; “In another event, Donna Howard and I painted a series of bras that were auctioned off to benefit the Breast Cancer Foundation.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; Hawk sees the efforts of the artists have made a definite stride toward exposing the public to all that the fine arts have to offer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-BodyTextRR"&gt; “The main thing is that the 263 Gallery has really put art on the map,” she said. “It encourages artists to pursue their dreams and connect with the community as a whole.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="Telegraph-Tagline"&gt; Eric Stanway can be reached at www.EricStanway.com or Eric.Stanway@yahoo.com.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--Facebook Comments!--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/87448666592979087-7550285149944926970?l=263artgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/7550285149944926970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/2011/12/merrry-christmas-from-263-art-gallery.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/87448666592979087/posts/default/7550285149944926970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/87448666592979087/posts/default/7550285149944926970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/2011/12/merrry-christmas-from-263-art-gallery.html' title='Merrry Christmas from 263 Art Gallery!'/><author><name>marilene sawaf</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3xwYx0tZEq8/SNkrKP_PBbI/AAAAAAAAADw/43NfY41wLIw/S220/women+iris+and+marilene2.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OFnBbkYvlLw/TvJEzRQWwVI/AAAAAAAADhA/k46onOVLDmM/s72-c/022.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87448666592979087.post-2573065644340547926</id><published>2011-12-21T12:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-21T13:20:57.695-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Great Christmas party at 263 Art Gallery.

Suzanne was educated atPenn State University and Tyler School of Art, and has also studied with Janet Walsh, Tom Lynch, Stephen Quiller, Margaret Huddy, and Susan Abbott.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Watercolor is Suzanne's medium of choice because she loves the effects andluminosity it can achieve.  Her subjects are varied and range from landscapes and seascapes to floral and wildlife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Suzanne believes that her art is a journey in self-expression.  She believes we all see things differently and she tries to convey her perceptions through her paintings.  Although she has been painting since childhood she is still fascinated by watercolors and every painting is a challenging experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Over the past ten years Suzanne has entered many juried shows and has been placed and received honorable mention on numerous occasions.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;For many years Suzanne has been teaching watercolor painting to beginners, intermediate and advanced students.  Her style of teaching includes art theory and her goal, especially for beginners, is to ensure a thorough grounding in watercolor technique using sample paintings allowing students to quickly produce finished products. She teaches primarily in her home studio and always welcomes enquiries from new students.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Recently Suzanne became enthralled with the art form Zentangle® and has quickly adopted it as an outlet for her talent, creating her own patterns and pieces of art. Suzanne is now a Certified Zentangle Teacher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Paul Devine was born in Boston in 1951, and attended  Massachusetts College of Art. He has worked as a trade show exhibit designer,  cabinetmaker, draftsman and mechanical designer. He now spends much of his time  drawing and painting the suburban and urban landscape in the Boston  area.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;His work has been shown in solo and group shows  including the Danforth Museum, Western Avenue Studios and Northern Essex  Community college.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Did you ever get to the point in your career of an artist where you  wished you would do more to market yourself&amp;nbsp; but don't know where to  start?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Taking pictures of your paintings, work on these pictures to make them  computer ready, start blogs and maintains blogs are all skills that are  invaluable to today's artists.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Also finding galleries, knowing how to approach these galleries, what  to send and not to send, how to frame or how to mat a painting, what is  in vogue and not in vogue in the Art World, all this information is  important if you want to make it as a successful&amp;nbsp; artist.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;We will talk about resumes, personal statements and organizing newspapers clips.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;There is also all kind of information about Associations and which ones are the best for you.. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Also many artists go into too many directions, they don't know where to  focus&amp;nbsp; and what to disregard in their&amp;nbsp; creations. They need guidance  and encouragement..&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Another big issue is how to contact newspapers, create publicity for  yourself using Facebook, magazines, newspapers,Twitter, Google and  newsletters&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;For help in all these issues, Jacqui&amp;nbsp; Hawk and myself&amp;nbsp; are starting a&amp;nbsp;  small consulting business for artists.We would give lessons on all these  issues or would do the work for the artist if they are&amp;nbsp; too busy to do  it themselves..We would follow them to their openings, take pictures or  videos of their paintings and edit them.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;We would upload them to their&amp;nbsp; personal blogs or send the PR to newspapers.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;We would be available to meet privately or in a group.&lt;br /&gt;In the past 30 years, along with painting full time, I did a lot of  volunteering in the Art World including the&amp;nbsp; Publicity, the Demos and  the Historian&amp;nbsp; for the&amp;nbsp; Nashua Artists Association. I organized 50 years  of Art History for their books.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;I now manage this blog and many others for myself, professional galleries and artists.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;.During my career as an artist, I joined many association and exhibited  in Museums where I was awarded prestigious awards. I also joined many&amp;nbsp;  top galleries among which the&amp;nbsp; the Copley Society of Boston. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;It just dawned on me that I could share this journey of mine with other artists.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Jacqui Hawk is also an accomplished artist who has been doing a  tremendous amount of marketing and gathers great crowds thanks to her  positive energy and charisma.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;For more information, you can reach me at msawaf@msn.com or 603-4652013 or &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="ecxtoBoxTo" style="display: block;"&gt;&lt;span class="ecxBlockEmailWithName"&gt;&lt;span dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Jacqueline_Hawk@uml.edu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Fee: $30 per hour for consulting or $25 per hour for blog work..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/87448666592979087-5957535268430472351?l=263artgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/5957535268430472351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/2011/09/art-consulting-lessons.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/87448666592979087/posts/default/5957535268430472351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/87448666592979087/posts/default/5957535268430472351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://263artgallery.blogspot.com/2011/09/art-consulting-lessons.html' title='art consulting lessons'/><author><name>marilene sawaf</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3xwYx0tZEq8/SNkrKP_PBbI/AAAAAAAAADw/43NfY41wLIw/S220/women+iris+and+marilene2.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87448666592979087.post-4390376513545493191</id><published>2011-09-20T08:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-20T08:30:00.626-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='art opening'/><title type='text'>Jacqui Hawk and Donna Howard</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;
