Studio B Art Gallery invites art lovers to celebrate the work of three acclaimed painters during Easton’s First Friday Gallery Walk on September 5, 2025, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. This month, the gallery proudly presents recent works by Richard Sneary, Scott W. Prior, and Robert J. Simone, three exceptional painters whose talent and vision have made them exciting new additions to the Studio B family.

Richard Sneary began painting professionally in 2011 after a 40-year career as an architect and illustrator. Since then, he has juried into over 100 plein air events and earned top awards including the Grand Prize at Lighthouse Plein Air (2022) and Best of Show at Stems Plein Air (2020, 2011). A signature member of leading watercolor and impressionist societies, Sneary’s luminous, architectural watercolors have been featured in Watercolor and Plein Air Magazine.

Scott W. Prior is an award-winning oil painter and Southern California native known for capturing beauty in everyday moments. A Signature Member of both the California Art Club and Laguna Plein Air Painters Association, Prior has exhibited nationally at venues such as the Pasadena Museum of California Art and the Academy Art Museum in Easton. His work is held in notable collections, including the Hilbert Museum, and has been featured in Fine Art Connoisseur, Plein Air Magazine, and Southwest Art.

Robert J. Simone’s vibrant oil paintings are celebrated for their dramatic use of color and light. He is a Signature Member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS), and more. Simone recently won the Grand Prize at Plein Air Easton 2024, and his work “Hurricane Hole” was selected for the prestigious 2025 OPA National Exhibition. His paintings continue to captivate collectors and critics alike across the country.

“We are absolutely thrilled to feature the work of Richard, Scott, and Robert this month,” said Betty Huang, owner of Studio B Art Gallery. “Each of these artists brings their own unique perspective and style, and together their paintings create an incredible experience for our visitors.”

Studio B invites the public to stop in during the First Friday celebration to enjoy an art salon-style open house and experience the newest works on view. Paintings by Richard Sneary, Scott W. Prior, Robert J. Simone, and other featured gallery artists will be on display all month long.
