The Cyber Art Show
By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by American landscape artist Dave Kaphammer (born 1962 in New Jersey, USA).
Dave's formal art education started at the Worcester Art Museum about 10 years ago, where he studied charcoal drawing of figures and still life. At the insistence of one of his teachers, he tried pastels. "They (pastels) grabbed me and never let go," says the artist.
Dave has studied pastel painting with local artists Jeanne Rosier Smith and Ella Delyanis, and teaches at Post Road Art Center in Marlboro. He has taken workshops with Marla Baggetta, Teri Ford, Robert Carsten, and Liz Haywood Sullivan among others.
Kaphammer has participated in juried shows at the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod, Pastel Society of New Hampshire, Connecticut Pastel Society, Concord Art Association, Post Road Art Center and The Mad Hatter Gallery in Marlborough, The Hopkinton Center for the Arts, Art and Frame Emporium in Westborough, and Framers Edge in Braintree.
Dave is a member of the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod, The Connecticut Pastel Society, The Pastel Society of New Hampshire, and the Concord Art Association. His work is currently exhibited at the Eventide at Periwinkles Gallery in Essex MA.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"I find inspiration in light and shadow. Long blue shadows cast on pure white snow, the beauty of reflections in ponds, the color and rhythm of ripples in the sea. I love being outside hiking, running, or cycling.
When I started painting, I brought along a camera and shot reference photos whenever I was moved by the way light falls on a scene. It's thrilling to see these little magical moments out in the world as you go about living your life. All you need is sunlight and your eyes and they are everywhere! How awesome is that? I love to paint how those scenes look to me, and share them with others."
