eARThHAMPTONS 2018, an Earth Day Friendly ART & DESIGN Weekend Celebration at historic Ashawagh Hall, will be held the weekend of April 21st through the 22nd.
PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Anahi DeCanio, Phyllis Hammond, Mary Milne, Donna Renna, Aurelio Torres, Anna Clejan
DESIGN PARTICIPANTS: Naula Workshop and Cloud9 Design
In 2018, eARThHAMPTONS will feature a strong showcase of exhibiting award winning artists, design elements, and the participation of local farms and purveyors. The event will include additional programming of interest to a wide audience. We have new elements and a few surprises in store for our audience.
We compliment other wonderful events and scientific presentations on the East End highlighting the importance of preserving the natural beauty around us. eARThHamptons focuses on the concept that our immediate environs and what makes up “home and habitat” can be beautiful while still honoring sustainable practices. The work of artists, designers, architects, landscapers, and builders combined to make healthier beautiful environments is a natural fit based on common ground. Anahi, who is also an agent with Douglas Elliman, is pursuing green certification to work with clients searching for those features in their homes.
“We have been so fortunate to have a wonderful attendance and a growing following every year. Our 2017 Saturday evening reception brought over 300 guests. We continue to look forward to growing an enjoyable way to combine all the elements that make up our habitats at large and bring more attention to sustainable practices in the art and design world as well as our everyday lives” comments DeCanio who has deep ties to the natural beauty found on the East End.
This year’s roster of artists brings a mix of eclectic styles and genres that range from sculpture, fine art abstracts and photography, to contemporary art. eARThHAMPTONS 2018 includes the work of sought after Springs glass artist Mary Milne, photographer Donna Renna, internationally renowned sculptor Phyllis Hammond, Dan’s cover local artist Aurelio Torres, ceramic artist and designer Anna Clejan and award winning Anahi DeCanio.
This year’s event is once again being graced with the participation of master craftsman and fine custom furniture designer Angel Naula. Naula Workshop has collaborated with acclaimed interior designers and architects and has completed high-profile residential projects for Robert Kennedy Jr., Hugh Jackman, Norah Jones, and Rupert Murdoch, among others. Additionally, Naula created custom made pieces for the penthouse exquisitely designed by Kelly Behun at architect Rafael Viñoly’s 432 Park Avenue, eventually sold by Douglas Elliman. Complimenting the design elements in the show, Cloud9 Designs will be displaying an exclusive line of luxury home accessories. Anna Clejan will be featuring pieces from her collection of fine art ceramics.
Douglas Elliman Alfred Renna and Joanne R. Douglas will have a chat and book signing for their well received “Negotiating New York” on Sunday at 12 PM. The book, which counts with a foreword from Barbara Corcoran of Shark Tank fame, is often described as a hilarious and engaging journey into the world of NY real estate.

ADDITIONAL INFO on ARTISTS and PARTICIPANTS:
PETER GUMPEL
Peter is a trained architect fascinated by light, shadow and perspective and the resulting volumetric impact of the subject. As a figurative water-colorist, he uses his medium to record what he sees going beyond simple documentation. He uses factual rendition as a stimulus to create images that capture the essence of the scene or person. Mr. Gumpel is currently serving as president of the Artists Alliance of East Hampton
PHYLLIS CHILLINGWORTH
Phyllis expresses her "love of Earth" in a group of oil paintings that capture the diverse energy
she experienced in Nova Scotia, Montana, Provence and in Montauk. Phyllis paints both plein air
and from memory; her studio is in Montauk, NY. The show will include elusive ocean watercolors
painted in Montauk. Phyllis is a graduate of The Institute of Design, IIT, Chicago and The School
of Art & Architecture, Yale. She has had three solo shows at Atlantic Gallery, NYC.
LORI HOROWITZ
Her “Nurture series” of papier mache sculptures, depict individuals in society and their interactions. “I seem to become somehow bonded to these individuals carefully exploring and interpreting their attitudes. Often unseen and unheard, we all contribute and make up this diverse and multi-faceted population. I appreciate the complexity of each piece, collapsing three dimensional pieces into 2 and 3-dimensional space. I love the process of combining photography, wire, papier mache and painting. This innovative, figurative analysis is a socio/ psycho study created to bring light to the attention seekers and the overlooked of our society.”
ALYSSA PEEK
Alyssa Peek lives in NYC and the Hamptons with her husband she is a portrait and fine art photographer. Prior to starting Peek Photography, she spent over twenty years working in the fashion industry and left to continue creating beautiful things through the lens of her camera. Her original work brings a fresh and innovative perspective to traditional photography, always reflecting her love of abstract expressionism and modern art. Images are either captured abstractly or modified in-camera or post-production where she artistically enhances the ordinary to make it extraordinary. She works directly with interior designs to create custom sized pieces to fit their individual needs.
LISA PETKER MINTZ
Lisa’s paintings are autobiographical and focus on different places, people and life experiences. The themes are personal but universal, death, love, divorce, marriage and children dominate the work. Landscape and sense of place also play a major role. The act of picture making is a critical of the journey. “I need to make beautiful, cohesive, and entertaining paintings. I paint with the same intensity in which I live my life, but also maintain the naïve view that in today’s chaotic society there are moments in life that can be pure and beautiful. Life is chaotic; I juggle so many different roles. My working process is the same. I juggle many different images and materials. The process is trial and error until the conclusion is clear”
ANAHI DECANIO
Anahi is an Uruguayan born NY artist who is deeply influenced by her surroundings, whether nature or the energy and patina on an urban wall. Art imitating life, Ms. DeCanio’s work is characterized by a myriad of layers that reveal themselves with a bold voice or subtle whispers creating striking abstracts that are rich in texture and meaning. Her life experience is as eclectic as her work. With a Wall Street background and a life-long love of art and design, Anahi has recently joined the Douglas Elliman team as a perfect place to combine all those elements.

ADDITIONAL INFO on ARTISTS and PARTICIPANTS:
PETER GUMPEL
Peter is a trained architect fascinated by light, shadow and perspective and the resulting volumetric impact of the subject. As a figurative water-colorist, he uses his medium to record what he sees going beyond simple documentation. He uses factual rendition as a stimulus to create images that capture the essence of the scene or person. Mr. Gumpel is currently serving as president of the Artists Alliance of East Hampton
PHYLLIS CHILLINGWORTH
Phyllis expresses her "love of Earth" in a group of oil paintings that capture the diverse energy
she experienced in Nova Scotia, Montana, Provence and in Montauk. Phyllis paints both plein air
and from memory; her studio is in Montauk, NY. The show will include elusive ocean watercolors
painted in Montauk. Phyllis is a graduate of The Institute of Design, IIT, Chicago and The School
of Art & Architecture, Yale. She has had three solo shows at Atlantic Gallery, NYC.
LORI HOROWITZ
Her “Nurture series” of papier mache sculptures, depict individuals in society and their interactions. “I seem to become somehow bonded to these individuals carefully exploring and interpreting their attitudes. Often unseen and unheard, we all contribute and make up this diverse and multi-faceted population. I appreciate the complexity of each piece, collapsing three dimensional pieces into 2 and 3-dimensional space. I love the process of combining photography, wire, papier mache and painting. This innovative, figurative analysis is a socio/ psycho study created to bring light to the attention seekers and the overlooked of our society.”
ALYSSA PEEK
Alyssa Peek lives in NYC and the Hamptons with her husband she is a portrait and fine art photographer. Prior to starting Peek Photography, she spent over twenty years working in the fashion industry and left to continue creating beautiful things through the lens of her camera. Her original work brings a fresh and innovative perspective to traditional photography, always reflecting her love of abstract expressionism and modern art. Images are either captured abstractly or modified in-camera or post-production where she artistically enhances the ordinary to make it extraordinary. She works directly with interior designs to create custom sized pieces to fit their individual needs.
LISA PETKER MINTZ
Lisa’s paintings are autobiographical and focus on different places, people and life experiences. The themes are personal but universal, death, love, divorce, marriage and children dominate the work. Landscape and sense of place also play a major role. The act of picture making is a critical of the journey. “I need to make beautiful, cohesive, and entertaining paintings. I paint with the same intensity in which I live my life, but also maintain the naïve view that in today’s chaotic society there are moments in life that can be pure and beautiful. Life is chaotic; I juggle so many different roles. My working process is the same. I juggle many different images and materials. The process is trial and error until the conclusion is clear”
ANAHI DECANIO
Anahi is an Uruguayan born NY artist who is deeply influenced by her surroundings, whether nature or the energy and patina on an urban wall. Art imitating life, Ms. DeCanio’s work is characterized by a myriad of layers that reveal themselves with a bold voice or subtle whispers creating striking abstracts that are rich in texture and meaning. Her life experience is as eclectic as her work. With a Wall Street background and a life-long love of art and design, Anahi has recently joined the Douglas Elliman team as a perfect place to combine all those elements.
NAULA
Born in Cuenca, Ecuador, Angel Naula has spent nearly his entire life designing and fabricating custom furniture, apprenticing in his family’s own workshop until the age of six and building his first piece of furniture when he was just 13. Upon immigrating to the United States, Angel carried on the integrity, mastery, and craftsmanship instilled by his father, his grandfather, and the generations of furniture makers before them.
In 2002, Angel opened Naula Workshop and has since collaborated with such acclaimed interior designers and architects as Robin Wilson, Jamie Drake, Kelly Behun, Philip Gorrivan, and Mark Zeff. He has completed high-profile residential projects for Robert Kennedy Jr., Hugh Jackman, Norah Jones, and Rupert Murdoch, as well as commercial projects for Columbia Pictures, Mandarin Oriental NY, LaGuardia Airport, and various celebrated restaurants. His work has also been featured in such notable venues as Esquire SoHo, Pulse Contemporary Art, Maison de Luxe Beverly Hills, Elle Décor, The New York Times, and the Hampton Designer Showhouse.
