Will Cotton's sumptuous oil paintings are in the soft focus, soft-core tradition of 18th-century masters Broc, Gerard, Franque and Fragonard. Like his predecessors, Cotton (who was born in Massachusetts in 1965 and studied art at New York's Cooper Union and the New York Academy of Art) paints beautiful, creamy skinned nudes amidst luscious surroundings. But while Cotton's paintings recall the sensuality and delight of his forefathers, he is far from a mere copyist. Instead of painting high on the sugar of that decadent lost age in art, Cotton updates his opulent source material by replacing pastoral love scenes with mountains of sweets and erotic treats.

Lisa Bartolozzi received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Delaware, and her Masters in Fine Arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis under the Jacob K. Javits Fellowship.

Infusing faith, meditation and her own personal experience, Lisa creates thought-provoking images of humanity. Part of her work focuses on what it means to be a woman and, more specifically, a woman artist. Drawing upon that idea and religion, each work not only becomes an interesting view of society but of history re-examined through a contemporary artist’s perspective. Her luminous paintings require layers of transparent pigments, which are then coated with wax. Thus her works achieve a Northern Renaissance look that allows her to unite the past with the present.

One person exhibitions of Lisa Bartolozzi’s work have been presented by the Delaware Division of the Arts under an Individual Artist Fellowship in 1992, the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1984, and the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, Delaware in 1997.
