Mark Malinowski, of Bristol, and Erica O’Rourke, of New Harbor, are two of the five oil painters exhibiting at the Saltwater Artists Gallery this year.

O’Rourke earned a scholastic gold medal at age 16 and has worked as an artist ever since. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, she had a successful career in the New York City publishing industry as a designer and illustrator. She continues creating in a number of fields.
