Carl Caivano (b. 1946) earned a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Massachusetts and has taught at Smith College in Northhampton, Massachusetts. His studio is in Amherst, Massachusetts, and his work has been exhibited in numerous group and one-man shows, including the Smith College Museum of Art, the Eric Carle Museum, and the deCordova Museum.

Bill Parker (1922-2009) studied with Hans Hofmann in the U.S., Fernand Leger in Paris, and attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. His work is in the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Moscow Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the University of Maine. 

Achillo "Achi" Sullo (1922-2013) was born in Massachusetts, graduated from a Boston high school and spent four years in the Engineering Corps where he was a WWII veteran and a D-day survivor. As an enlisted artist, he painted camouflage patterns on U.S. Army vehicles for the war effort. The GI Bill enabled Sullo to attend School of the Museum School of Fine Arts, Boston. In 1958, Sullo held a one-man show at the deCordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The Boston Globe wrote that Sullo “… is an excellent abstract painter…who works on canvas with oil and acrylic. Restricting himself to a fundamental vocabulary of flat, organic forms contained by heavy contours, Sullo’s paintings have both a vitality that derives from high-key colors and a subtlety of design.”

Richard Lytle (b. 1935), was born in Albany, New York, studied at the Cooper Union School of Art and the Yale University School of Art, where he received a BFA and MFA. In 1959 he was included in the Museum of Modern Art’s Sixteen Americans exhibition. He began teaching in 1960 at Yale University, which began a 40-year career as a teacher, professor and dean. He has had numerous one-man and group exhibitions, and he received the Augustus Saint-Gaudens Award in 1985 from the Cooper Union School of Art. He has become known worldwide for his non-objective, botanic, and abstract work.
