No Foolin’
“My mother had opened an aluminum folding table in my room and closed the door. There my temperas were lined up. I had begun drawing as a child, just never stopped. ”
Helena Pittman returns to Domesticities for the first time in ten years with a selection of recent paintings.
The opening reception will be Saturday, April 1st at 3 pm at Domesticities, 4055 State Route 52, Youngsville. The show will stay up through the month of April.
When speaking of her work, Helena said “I knew at fourteen I’d have to give my life to painting. I don’t remember how I got to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I most likely traveled by subway with my friend Audrey. We both majored in Art in High School, drawing and painting every day, five days in school and all weekend. Audrey’s father was the movie poster illustrator, Moore Kosnet. I stood in the room of Impressionist Painters at the Met, blinded by the color and light those painting threw, and declared, “These are my people.” It felt like coming home.
