Jessica Charous
I am currently a high school Senior at Warren Hills Regional High School in New Jersey. A straight A student, I am very involved with the school newspaper. I am the first one asked when action photographs are needed of the field hockey and soccer games. Next to photography, writing is definitely my passion. Photography comes very natural to me (I have been shadowing my grandmother, owner of Pine Brae Gallery & a professional photographer since I was 7). I believe that there is ALWAYS more to see than what meets the eye. Whether there are the faintest of veins on a leaf, or the tiniest of lizards hiding in some flowers, I 
always try to capture the most unique perspectives. Photography is my way of preserving and embracing the most precious moments that I see and cherish. My wish is that you will enjoy my images as much as I did when I took them. I have been spending summers in Chatham since I was 2 and enjoy helping my grandmother in her gallery. I live in Washington, NJ with my family along with 5 dogs, 3 cats and a pair of chinchillas. A career in veterinary medicine is in my future.

Bill Leigh
An Award winning photographer who has been exhibiting in a number of juried shows, festivals and competitions in Eastern Massachusetts for several years. Bill is a software designer who lives in Newton Centre, MA but spends as much time as he can at his home in North Chatham.
I am not content to simply click the shutter and print a photograph. I have immersed myself in the origins of photography and the antique and historical processes used in the early days of photography. I work primarily with film cameras and hands-on darkroom techniques. Convetional black and white prints, cyanotypes, gum dichromates, and infrared prints are several of the techniques I use. In addition to the conventional 35mm film camera I use a unique, handmade panoramic pinhole film camera to yield soft, impressionistic photographs prints on an archival Gicleé printer.

Elaine McSweeney
I am a member of the National Guild of Decoupeurs and teach decoupage at the Vero Beach Museum of Art in Vero Beach, FL where I spend my winters. In the summer I live in North Chatham, MA and have been creating decoupage fine art items for over a decade. I work with a variety of mediums such as glass, wood, and metal. My work that is available in the gallery is unique in that I use a variety of photographs to create custom bowls, trays, vases, plates, coasters, paperweights and wedding invitation, birth announcement and anniversary celebration plates.

Kristin Wall
After 25 years working in the corporate world, I retired to pursue my underwater art. Over the past 16 years I have spent several months each year sailing, scuba diving and snorkeling in the Caribbean. I dive at depths ranging from 5' to 90'. I am an avid underwater photographer and also design stained glass panels from my photography. I am enamored by the expressions of fish, the antics of octopus and the playfulness of squid, as well as the overall beauty of the coral reefs. I focus mainly on the expressions of fish and creatures; they will make you smile and hopefully you will be in awe of the underwater world as I am. I live with my husband in Cumberland, RI.
