Ms. Shane works in water media to create paintings of contemporary realism, often of subjects from daily life caught in unlikely or offbeat situations. In her unique style, everyday scenes or objects take on unique appearances and meanings. Her still lifes capture the essence of fruits or flowers in poetic rather than exact images. Her seascapes emphasize an almost naïve focus on sunlight and water giving them a semi-abstract felt reality rather than a representative image. Lush colors and intense light permeate all her work.

Rosalie Ripaldi Shane exhibits in the Boston and Metrowest areas year round and during the summers on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Look for her show at the Field Gallery, West Tisbury, in July and the old Sculpin Gallery, Edgartown, in August.
