SUMMARY:Durre Waseem  demonstrates in New Bern - Morning light along River Walk - East Front St. and New St.
DESCRIPTION:Watch Art Happen — Live! \nDurre Waseem creates an original work of art live and in full view. \nBring a hat\, sunscreen\, and a lawn chair\, and enjoy a front-row seat as the artwork comes to life from start to finish. \nMeet the artist\, ask questions\, and experience the creative process up close. \nARTIST SHORT BIO\nMy work was more academic through my university years of studying and then teaching painting. After graduation my art progressed in three stages; when I started teaching post graduation classes\, more after I moved to the United States\, and most of all since 2018\, when I started participating in national pleinair events. I love using most mediums but i usually paint in oil \nI grew up in a family that loved to draw and color. I took up formal art classes in college and earned a Masters degree from Punjab university where I taught for next seven years and later three at a girls college. It was during my teaching years that I explored myself as an artist with better understanding of seeing and omitting. For next 30 years of painting my colors and strokes evolved and as they adapted through my exposure to different art and places. I feel that now I only take charge of selecting a subject and my painting leads me through the process.

SUMMARY:Jill Banks demonstrates in New Bern -NOCTURNAL- Middle St.\, meet near Birthplace of Pepsi
DESCRIPTION:Watch Art Happen — Live! \nJill Banks creates an original work of art live and in full view. \nBring a hat\, sunscreen\, and a lawn chair\, and enjoy a front-row seat as the artwork comes to life from start to finish. \nMeet the artist\, ask questions\, and experience the creative process up close. \nARTIST SHORT BIO\nJill’s tagline\, “Capturing Life in Oils” describes her mission to celebrate the magic of the everyday. After a 16-year first career\, Jill’s artistic journey began with portraiture classes in 2003. In 2011\, Jill embarked on her 100 Faces in 100 Days Project — creating a daily portrait of anyone who volunteered to sit for her. After discovering she could paint moving subjects and missing the daily arrival of “models\,” Jill headed outside to capture whatever and whoever she found. While she also paints portraits\, still lifes and interiors\, Jill’s plein air adventures capturing life on location is her greatest thrill.

SUMMARY:Rokhaya Waring demonstrates in New Bern - Grand Marina behind the Double Tree Hotel
DESCRIPTION:Watch Art Happen — Live! \nRokhaya Waring creates an original work of art live and in full view. \nBring a hat\, sunscreen\, and a lawn chair\, and enjoy a front-row seat as the artwork comes to life from start to finish. \nMeet the artist\, ask questions\, and experience the creative process up close. \nARTIST SHORT BIO\nMy French mother taught me that getting out of one’s comfort zone and cultivating curiosity translated into a great education and an even more fascinating childhood- as was her own growing up in the jungles of Africa. She taught me how to draw- or how to see. As a homeschooler\, daily sketching from life\, reading French poetry\, playing the violin\, raising goats\, snakes\, eating exotic foods and camping across America are some of the colorful experiences that shaped the painter I am today.

SUMMARY:Sarah Baskin demonstrates in Oriental -- Docks - Front Street - Shrimp Boats
DESCRIPTION:Watch Art Happen — Live! \nSarah Baskin creates an original work of art live and in full view. \nBring a hat\, sunscreen\, and a lawn chair\, and enjoy a front-row seat as the artwork comes to life from start to finish. \nMeet the artist\, ask questions\, and experience the creative process up close. \nARTIST SHORT BIO\nI am an impressionistic watercolor and oil painter. Painting outside en plein air is my happy place. I aspire to be a painter of light\, focusing on how the sunlight plays across the side of a building and how shadows stretch across a landscape\, giving viewers the impression and atmosphere of a place\, not a photorealistic image of that place. \nOne of my paintings won the Honorable Mention – Enthusiast Class by Thomas W. Schaller in the November 2025 BoldBrush Competition. Another of my paintings was juried into the New England Watercolor Society’s 2025 New England Regional Juried Exhibition.

SUMMARY:Lori Keith Robinson demonstrates in New Bern - English gardens on corner of Pollock St. and Eden St.
DESCRIPTION:Watch Art Happen — Live! \nLori Keith Robinson creates an original work of art live and in full view. \nBring a hat\, sunscreen\, and a lawn chair\, and enjoy a front-row seat as the artwork comes to life from start to finish. \nMeet the artist\, ask questions\, and experience the creative process up close. \nARTIST SHORT BIO\nKnown for her strong\, color-enriched paintings\, Lori Keith Robinson found her artistic passion when she began plein air painting and took her first workshop with Camille Przewodek in 2005. She immediately was hooked and painted on location everyday for fifteen months straight\, even in the 100º days of August in Savannah. She feels she grew the most and her true personal style emerged during those hard-worked days. There is a romantic storytelling quality to her work that is loved by her collectors. She’s won numerous “Best of Shows”\, as well as taught\, judged and demonstrated for many plein air events.

It was while studying for my BFA at Maryland Institute College of Art that an interest in oil painting emerged.\nArt has always been a vocation for me – as a portrait and caricature artist in Ocean City\, MD\, art director at a sign company\, teacher and freelance court illustrator. I steadily participate in paint outs and plein air competitions and have received numerous awards including a “Judges Choice” award at Plein Air Easton 2024.
