There have been three phases in the development of Barbara’s art. The first was academic. After formal training in the history art – from carve art to the 20th century movements – she was fortunate to work closely with the preeminent South African historian Esme Berman, researching authoritative guides for gallery owners, curators and private collectors. She developed an eclectic taste, with favorite artists ranging from Milton Avery, Lucian Freud, Raoul Dufy, to Munch.

Drawn to the creation process itself, her second phase was devoted to sculpting, primarily using the lost-wax method to produce work in bronze, stone and plaster. Eventually, her love of color and intrigue with large-scale canvas, led her to the third phase in her development.

Barbara now opts for experimentation over her formal fine-arts training with a consequent versatility in media, style and size, and integrated shifts between realism and abstractism. She currently is drawn to large-scale works in acrylics augmented by additives to enhance the visual with a tactile quality, with a choice of color tied closely to the emotive nature of the subject. Barbara Fix lives in Larchmont, NY.

Local artists Lawrence Gordon and Edward Jacobson present A POINT OF VIEW, expressing how art can invoke a unique perspective on just about anything we encounter in life. The exhibit will be on view in the Oresman Gallery from September 3 through September 30.

Veronica Dean presents THE LOVE OF ART – a new exhibit of watercolor and pencil artwork on display in the Larchmont Public Library’s Oresman Gallery from July 2, through August 29, 2019. The exhibit is free and open to everyone during normal library hours.

Veronica Dean has been exploring art for a number of years. Dean primarily works in watercolor and pencil and her Oresman Gallery exhibit features pencil portraits of children and watercolor landscapes. Using the mediums of watercolor and pencil, Dean attempts to bring her favorite subjects to life. She finds her art relaxing even though it has been and continues to be a life-long learning pursuit. Veronica is primarily influenced with the art of Norman Rockwell.

Ms. Dean attended the Westchester Community College Art Work Shop and for 3 years was a member of the New Rochelle Art Association. Her artwork has been exhibited in numerous libraries and galleries, including the Westchester Community College Art Workshop Gallery, the Flat Iron Gallery in Peekskill, St. Cabrini Nursing Home and several library galleries in Lower Westchester County.

Artist Lola York opens her debut solo exhibit titled CREATURES AND OBJECTS, in the Oresman Gallery at the Larchmont Public Library on January 11, and will continue to be on view through February 27.  The art for Lola York’s CREATURE AND OBJECTS exhibit has been created in Mexico, then transported to Larchmont to be placed on display in the Larchmont Public Library’s Oresman Gallery. Several pieces have been created exclusively for this exhibit.

Lola York hails from Guanajuato, Mexico, where she has been developing collage in a very unique and particular way. Her technique is about mixing images from a variety of sources and adding strategic touches of watercolor and original drawing. She discovered that collage is not just about cutting and pasting pieces of paper. Rather, she believes it is important to create a new art form, blending varied elements together with an aim to achieve artistic harmony. Lola work with delicate drawings of female bodies, adding brilliant colors, textures and unique objects to her compositions. Lola´s artwork takes a decidedly whimsical view to the reality of life.
