Artist Elaine Wing (born 1931) lived in Lanes Cove, not far from the Manship Artists Residency. She now lives in Sante Fe, which is a better environment for her health, however her heart is still in Gloucester and held close by her many friends here. One of the latter is Manship Board Chair, Jo-Ann Castano. When Elaine needed to close her studio two years ago, she reached out to Jo-Ann and offered her paintings and monoprints to the Manship Artists Residency as a donation, suggesting that we sell the work to raise funds to support artists. This wish is now a reality and you are able to enjoy the benefit by seeing a collection of her paintings of Cape Ann, alongside some of her graphically-exciting, and often cheeky monoprints. We also have works on loan from some of Elaine’s friends – captivating portraits that reveal her remarkable talent and their close connection.
This is your chance to see her work and, perhaps, pick out which magnificent piece you want to take home at the end of the exhibition. Select work will be for sale, though all the work will need to remain until the exhibition closes.
In addition to creating signature paintings that have earned Elaine a place among the celebrated artists collected by the Cape Ann Museum, Elaine and her former husband, Paul Wing, ran the Salamander Coffeehouse in Boston near Copley Square. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, they introduced musical artists who would later become famous, such as Tom Rush and Joan Baez.
