Cape Cod Watercolors
Artist, Marje Miller

February 15, 2025 - April 30, 2025

Artist, photographer, and educator Marje grew up in Minnesota creating and enjoying art from a young age. In high school, she began painting with acrylics and later took up watercolor when she spent a few years as a stay-at-home mom. She enjoyed taking classes and attending workshops. Marje continued painting from her photos while teaching and raising three children.

Over the next 20 years, Marje continued painting and teaching internationally in Senegal, the United Arab Emirates, and Guyana. Each year, she returned to the Cape to teach in the KidSummer art program at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster before retiring to Dennis Port in 2022. Today, she continues to find artistic inspiration from the Cape’s water, boats, and birds.

Steel sculptor Steve Swain is an accomplished artist, architectural designer, craftsman, and boat captain. He is responsible for creating several notable local restaurants and buildings. His last project before switching to art full-time was designing and overseeing construction of the restaurant Pearl in Wellfleet and the restoration of Duffy Gardinier’s Tug Boat shack, saving the last of old clam shacks from the wrecking ball and creating The Frying Pan Gallery on Wellfleet Harbor Pier where Steve designs and hand builds steely renditions of marine life. In the fall of 2019, a second Frying Pan Gallery was opened in Orleans.

In his secluded studio Steve seeks inspiration in nature and credits the great outdoors for his creativity and compositions. His custom marine installation at the Museum is an amazing design and work of art highlighting the ocean world of bait fish, bass, and great white sharks.
