“Interpreting Landscape” Art Exhibit Part of

First Friday “Night Gallery” Art Walk October 2

Painter Joanne Thorne Arnold has been inspired by our local landscape and ever changing seasons in the Southern Tier. Her exhibit at Phelps Mansion Museum October 2, “Interpreting Landscape,” explores the visual language of color.  She uses a variety of perspectives and textures to enhance her unique sense of color.  The work plays off the feeling of atmosphere whether it is representational or abstract.  It is an artistic reflection of the natural world we live in.

 

Arnold resides in Binghamton, New York.  Her work has been exhibited in galleries throughout the country and she has had fourteen solo exhibitions.  She has been awarded four competitive artist fellowships in the form of painting residencies.  These immersions have contributed to the constant pursuit of intuitively applying color to canvas.

 

Her painting can be seen in public and private collections throughout the United States, including the Broome County Public Library, and Broome Community College.  Original paintings by Joanne Thorne Arnold are available at the HW Gallery in Naples, Florida, The John Dunnan Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina, The Windsor Whip Works Gallery in Windsor, New York and the Fourth Street Gallery in Lampases, Texas.

 

To commemorate the 50^th anniversary of Binghamtonian Rod Serling’s TV series “The Twilight Zone,” free “twilight tours” of the mansion will complement the exhibit.  Ms. Arnold will be available to talk with visitors, and free refreshments are in the ballroom.
