Artist Statement

Art is about making marks – on paper, canvas, printing plates or some other surface. Those first marks begin the exciting, frustrating, angst-ridden, driven, joyous journey that is art-making. The first marks become the drawing, a spontaneous response to some idea, and from there the process begins. I never know for sure where the journey will end, or if it will end well, but obsessively persevere in the hope that what is first conceived in my mind's eye, will come through my hand to a satisfying conclusion.

 

Fehlinger

Susan Fehlinger

 

About

Susan Fehlinger had to be content to be an occasional painter during her 30+-year career as a Television Producer in New York City. She attended art classes at The School of Visual Arts, and painting workshops on Cape Cod but for the most part she is a self-taught artist.
When she quit her job in NYC in 2003 and moved to Cape Cod she began painting more seriously. She discovered the palette knife and created large still life oil paintings. She joined the Chatham Art Gallery on the Cape, and was also represented by Sheldon Fine Arts in Newport RI, later at Art Essex in Essex CT, and now at Southport Galleries, Southport CT.


In 2014 she relocated to Black Rock CT and branched out to other themes such as coastal architecture and cityscapes. Fehlinger’s paintings depict familiar, yet abstracted scenes. Her painting style emphasizes her interest in texture, color and light; and she applies her paint thickly with a palette knife to highlight structure, form and shadow.

Artist Statement

Light changes everything. It transforms everyday objects or simple buildings into important objects and architectural structure.  It changes colors. It changes moods. It’s the play of light and shadow --negative and positive--that I strive to see, understand, and capture in my paintings.

Artist Statement

My acrylic paintings depict color, light, shadow and their interplay. Favorite subjects are nature and flowers. I have brought people back to my studio after a long break and will be working on compositions from street scenes to meadows. I photograph as I go, and return to my studio to paint from my photographs.

Cecilia Moy Fradet

About

When asked the question “what do you like to do outside of art?”, the first thing that came to Cecilia’s mind was “more art!”. Whether it is viewing, reading, or talking about art, Cecilia Moy Fradet is constantly creating and curating ideas for her projects to come. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Lower Manhattan, Cecilia was fascinated by the differences in ideologies such as perceived beauty and the question “what do we hold sacred?”

She graduated with a fine arts degree then had a second career as a fashion designer. Cecilia is currently a mixed media artist and has a studio at Firing Circuits in Norwalk, Connecticut. She is a member of the Silvermine Guild Arts Center, a member of the Artist Collective of Westport, and an educator at Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum..

 

Artist Statement

My practice encompasses the beauty of translating memories into objects sometimes using remnants of discarded materials to create a series of unique artwork. Because my process is intuitive, I often use different mediums and colors to best express my vision at the time.

Art has always been in my life. I was drawn to art at an early age, as my grandfather was a painter of Chinese landscapes and my father was a calligrapher. As a visual learner, I am influenced by interactions, first impressions, and instant judgements stemming from people, places, and colorful patterns. These moments are imprinted in my memory and create stories in my head that I make visible in my art.

Artist Statement

I paint, I find silence, and listen to the words of life around me. I try to find the common thread that runs through it all: colors that repeat themselves, shapes that multiply, curves and gestures that talk of pain or laughter, of dreams and of life. May my paintings bring you silence as well. May they allow you to stop and ponder, to feel deeper, to listen clearer, to see brighter.

... shh... quiet, let the painting talk now [Rebeca Fuchs].
