\u201cI am here in the landscape. My imagination is punctuated by the musk of damp leaves and the trill of the red-winged blackbird swaying in the cattails\u2013
\nby cedar waxwing jostling in the bramble,
\nby a gnarled sycamore praising winter\u2019s blue,
\nby ferns dancing under beech towers,
\nby field mustard crowning the hilltop and wheat fringe hemming the lane,
\nAnd billows, upon billows of clouds heralding change.\u201d
\n-Marianne Calenda
\n_____
\nIn these words you can find yourself standing next to Marianne as she works. The landscapes she conjures feel real. They reach into our minds with long fingers like sunlight through tears in the trees, highlighting the path to deep seeded memories. Observation & gesture so finely tuned it convinces us that we know these places. Painterly actions paired with masterful drawing make artworks that reside in the brush between fields of abstraction and the forest of realism.<\/p>\n
Marianne describes her process and work with monotypes:
\n\u201cA monotype is a singular, original work created by applying pigment to a non-absorbent surface. In this case the images were developed with acrylic paint on a gelatin plate and hand printed on various types of paper. Following Degas\u2019 technique, soft pastel was added to the printed image to enrich, enliven, or subdue.<\/p>\n
The monotypes are glimpses of a fragile landscape designed to evocate rather than describe. The viewer is invited to fill in the details with personal remembrances of its textures, colors, and vibrations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
