WELLESLEY, MA--(Marketwire - 04/26/11) - J. Todd Galleries is announcing the exclusive representation of two of New England's premier women artists, Julia O'Malley-Keyes and Marie Fischer, by featuring an exhibit of their original oil paintings through June 30, 2011.
Julia O'Malley-Keyes, one of America's most collected contemporary artists, is well known for classic marine painting. At just eight years old, she met her father's friend, Andrew Wyeth at his Maine studio, and was instantly inspired to become an artist herself by this American Master. O'Malley-Keyes' museum quality paintings are often action-packed and noted for their high degree of realism, vibrant colors and luminosity. Her nautical and beach artwork subjects include Newport, Camden, Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard.
Marie Fischer's artwork is whimsical and more modern than O'Malley-Keyes', providing an enjoyable contrast in styles for the gallery visitor. Her figurative paintings, still life subjects, interiors and city or street scenes have a distinctive style drawn from her lifetime of travel and varied experiences, along with her technique from a blend of training methods. Her fine art paintings depict both cherished memories and moments from her earlier years when traveling and living in Thailand, the South China Seas, and New York and clearly communicate her boundless love of life

New Arrivals: Marie Fischer
Of the many great artists we represent here at J. Todd Galleries, there is one artist in particular whose new work we are always excited to see. That is because Marie Fischer continues to suprise and delight us everytime she shows up with new work. Although she is best known for her lively and whimsical figurative paintings, over the past few years we have seen the background and environment continue to take a more prominent role in her pieces. Some of the new pieces we received show an even larger divergence from what she has done in the past, the figures are still present but play a much lesser role in the pieces in favor of the still life arrangements. The sign of every great artist is a willingness to push the envelope and strive to always improve their abilities even after they have achieved success in one genre.
