About the Artist Marc
Castelli has raced on various sailboats for 25 years. During that time he has
photographed, drawn, and painted the boats he has raced and studied. His
views speak of an intimacy that results from such a lengthy exposure. Castelli
has participated in or followed a range of fleets from the scows of the
Midwest and S.O.R.C. boats of the 80's to the America's Cup boats, the racing
log canoes of the Eastern Shore, and its workboats. He has covered the '92
and '95 America's Cup Challenge and Defenses for Sailing Magazine. In
September 1997, Castelli was at the start of the Whitbread Round-the-World
Race in Southampton, England. His
views speak to the large masses of sails, their particular shapes and their
abstract potential. There is a magical quality to the light of the Eastern
Shore and it has become a major influence on his work. While these painterly
concerns are the main thrust of his style, it is his attention to the
correctness of detail that has kept his work accessible. Castelli's
work can be seen at various galleries, national competitions and regional
shows. They include the Carla Massoni Gallery, Chestertown, Maryland;
Mid-Atlantic Maritime Festival, Easton, Maryland; Mystic International,
Mystic, Connecticut; ASMA National Show; Seattle, Washington. and
Jacksonville, Florida; Philadelphia Water Color Club, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania; and the National Watercolor Society, Norwalk, California. If
