Painter, Printmaker and Mixed-Media artist Madelon Jones will be featured in June at Domesticities in Youngsville. Inspired by nature, Madelon’s work expresses that inspiration through abstraction of form and color.  “Growing up in Brooklyn was a gift. Houses with gardens and fruit trees blooming in spring gave me my love of nature. I never wanted to reproduce what I saw, it was perfect as it was. Painting allows me to combine what I see with what I imagine using paint and cut paper to create the abstract forms of birds, fish, flowers and most of all skies and seas that reflect my personal vision. I learned my craft at UCLA receiving a BFA in art, then on to New York City, the School of Visual Arts, and printmaking at The Printmaking Workshop with Bob Blackburn as my mentor. My work has been exhibited throughout the USA, Europe, South America and the Middle East,” she said.

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 1^st 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.
