Member Artists
Due to the closing of the South End store's cafe, we are temporarily suspending the South End Art Wall to be fair to our Member Artists. Our Downtown Art Wall plans to continue as normal while respecting social distancing requirements as much as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
Are you an artist and a City Market Member? We'd love to feature your art on one of our Member Artist Walls! We feature art from a Member Artist for two month periods at both our Downtown store on the wall near Register 10 and in our South End store on the walls on either side of our cafe. If you are interested in displaying your art, please fill out and return our Member Artist Application and submit to Membership@citymarket.coop.
Emily Treasure Greene has been painting for almost a decade and is constantly working to expand her horizons. Born and raised in Ohio, she studied earth science and the environment in college, spent time at a portrait studio, and currently works in childcare. She loves to paint landscapes, abstracts, and experiments with color. Inspiration can come from anything that catches her attention; lately that has been utilizing the waste that art leaves behind. She hopes to continue to create art that affects people in a positive and lasting way.
A lifelong passion for reading history and literature, a love and appreciation for 18th century style, haute couture of the 20th century, of flora and fauna, travel and my birthplace of Manhattan informs my artwork. Art, to me, is like breathing - it is essential to the mind and heart and informs life. My art has been infused and tempered by many places and events and especially by cherished people and pets. It has been inspired and nurtured from infancy by exposure to some of the world's preeminent museums. Life inspires art and art infuses us with life.
Inspired by baskets and how they are made, I created a new body of original art work, “Basketry Arts. “Basketry Arts” will provide art collectors a fresh look at new original paintings and drawings that celebrate Basketry. In this show I used watercolors, acrylics and a mix of mediums to achieve a natural feel for each work. The aesthetics of my work is not so much focused on beautiful art, but the color expression to help communicate the concepts. I enjoy painting from self-expression and using my first impression of the subject as a vehicle to explore the concept, then visually translating that on to the surface type that makes the most sense.

“My name is Meagan Pittman, I am 17 years old, and I am studying Design and Illustration at Burlington High School and Colchester High School while being dually enrolled at CCV. My art Ranges from drawing with pencil to painting with both oil and acrylic paint. My style ranges from Abstract to Realism, I capture details the way I see them. I create art because I can control the outcome of what I create and learn more about myself while doing so. I appreciate the beauty of the smaller things in life and I try to capture that in my work. Everyone finds peace in something and I find that peace in putting paintbrush to canvas or pencil to paper.”
