We are a diverse group of accomplished, professional landscape artists who move around to select locations in the
Catskills and the Hudson Valley of New York State.
There we set up our easels to do plein air paintings and sketches of nature as we find it.
En plein air is a French expression meaning “in the open air”, and refers to the act of painting outdoors with the artist's subject in full view. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color and movement into their works.

Because of our interest in these locations for our paintings, our support for each other as a community of artists, and the inspiration we’ve found in the work of the Hudson River School of of the artists, we call ourselves the Hudson River Artists Guild.
After some of our members had worked together informally for many years, in 2005 they started to paint in the field on a regular basis, and continued throughout the winter in each other’s studios, thereby forming the Guild.
