Ralph C Tuesday, September 4, 2012

Greenport, NY - September 3, 2012/ - Plein Air Peconic is a group of a dozen painters and photographers based on the East End of Long Island who are devoted to capturing the beautiful vistas of farmland, beaches and bays in their art. They work closely with the Peconic Land Trust and other conservation organizations to bring a heightened awareness of conservation by displaying and selling their work. This year will be the 7th of working together and showcasing their local landscape exhibitions in museums, galleries, and non-profits throughout the East End.

The artists of Plein Air Peconic that are participating in this show are painters Casey Chalem Anderson, Susan D'Alessio, Aubrey Grainger, Anita Kusick, Michele Margit, Gordon Matheson, Joanne Rosko, Eileen Dawn Skretch, and photographers Tom Steele, Kathryn Szoka, and Ellen Watson. Furthering the cause of land conservation and protecting the waterways that surround Eastern Long Island is the uniting force that bands these diverse artists together.

Plein Air Peconic is proud of its longtime partnership with the Peconic Land Trustwhere they help and support the Trust in spreading the word about the urgency for land conservation on Long Island's East End. Over 40 Peconic Land Trust sites have been painted and photographed specifically for Plein Air Peconic events. The sites are located on the South and North Forks, Riverhead Town and Shelter Island and were conserved by the cooperation between the Peconic Land Trustand individual landowners and in many cases local governments.
