Featured Member Artist

Richard Stamelman, "Voices of Water"

Quiet or thunderous, placid or agitated, flat or foamy, peaceful or wild, formed or abstract, immobile or flowing, water is powerfully fickle, capricious, angry, multiform, protean, ever-changing. It gushes, floods, ebbs, sparkles, darkens, wrinkles; it patterns, tumbles, frolics, crashes, moans, roars, sighs, and whispers. Its voices are alluring, seductive, poetic, yet devious and untrustworthy.


Richard Stamelman is an emeritus professor of Romance Languages and Comparative Literature at Williams College.  He has taught at Wesleyan University, the University of Colorado, Dartmouth College, and the College of William and Mary.
