Gallery Cooperative featured artist Judy Guglielmo at the Strand Center for the Arts in February
NOTE DATE CHANGE. EVENT Rescheduled! PLATTSBURGH, NY – The Strand Center for the Arts is thrilled to announce Judy Guglielmo as the featured artist in their Gallery Cooperative. This forthcoming exhibit will take place in The Strand Center Community Gallery on The rescheduled Opening Reception will be held Friday, February 14, 2020 from 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM.
The Gallery Cooperative is a collection of artists, each expert at their chosen medium. This means that as well as the featured artist, Judy Guglielmo, painters Marilyn Kretser, Donna Austin, Gordon LeClaire, the SCA Watercolorists, and Lynn Manning will be present. In addition, these artists will be joined by pastel artist Diane Leifheit, photographer Ron Nolland, ceramicist Nancy Armitage, and work from the S. Booker collection.
Judy Guglielmo has been drawing since she was a child. Her art education started in high school and continues today with workshops and college classes, where she has refined her skills in a wide variety of media, including pottery, photography, oil paints and pastels, pen and ink, printmaking, and stone carvings. She has been fortunate to show her works in various local restaurants and in both juried and member shows in and around the North Country.
Regarding her work, Guglielmo stated, “At this point in my life, I feel most comfortable with watercolor (paints) but I have been experimenting most recently with acrylic. I love the free flow of the watercolor medium, the non-labored expression I achieve as I capture a mood. There is always an element of surprise when I paint with watercolor and because of this I try not to get too detailed in my work. I find myself happiest with a finished piece if I ‘leave something out’—a piece of the puzzle that the viewer needs to fill in. Acrylic offers me the opportunity to work in strong colors and larger paintings.”
This unique exhibit will be on view in The Strand Center Community Gallery at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh from February 7 to February 28, 2020. The exhibition opening is Friday, February 7 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. This event is free to the public and refreshments will be served.
