Jane Hartley’s still life and figurative paintings are a testament to refined craftsmanship and timeless beauty. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), with further classical training at The Schuler School of Fine Arts, Hartley merges her foundation in graphic design with a reverence for the Old Masters to create contemporary realist works that captivate the imagination.

​

Her paintings invite quiet contemplation—blending classical technique with narrative subtlety. In an art world often preoccupied with trends and spectacle, Hartley’s work stands apart: disciplined, emotionally resonant, and deeply human. Each piece offers viewers a moment of pause—a visual space for reflection, connection, and storytelling.

​

A Signature Member of American Women Artists and juried member of leading realist organizations including the American Society of Traditional Artists, International Guild of Realism, and Oil Painters of America, Hartley’s work is held in both private and corporate collections and has been widely exhibited across the U.S.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience her work on Saint Simons Island this fall.​

This December, Nina will host the Renssen Gallery for the annual  Pre-Christmas Open House, featuring artwork by Erik Renssen. Erik and his muse, Suzka, look forward to seeing existing collectors and welcoming new ones! It's a festive evening of art and celebration!

Amy Myers’s latest works explore the interconnected systems of the universe—both visible and unseen. Drawing inspiration from particle physics, mathematical symmetry, and the body’s internal architecture, her dynamic compositions pulse with color, light, and movement. Influenced by processualist philosophy and Goethe’s theory of color, Myers layers oil, graphite, and gouache to reflect shifting states of perception and consciousness. The result: immersive, radiant paintings that vibrate with energy, transformation, and depth.​
