Jennifer Christy, Susie White & Jennifer Brown
July 28, 2023 - August 9, 2023

Art Premiere will be held on Saturday, July 29th from 4-6 pm at the Field Gallery in West Tisbury, next to the West Tisbury Free Public Library. It is free and open to the public.

Jennifer Christy- Jennifer Christy looks at the landscape and nature as a series or collection of forms and shapes that make up a complex space; somewhat like a sculptor does. Jennifer's paintings are inspired by real places, but in the studio the strong formal elements are emphasized and explored. Jennifer Christy's paintings are definitely inspired by physical spaces in her island home, and when she comes back to the studio, that’s where the memory of the spaces is translated to the canvas. 

Susie White- Susie White likes to say, “I paint abstract landscapes” meaning she distills the elements, trees, moss, ocean, sky, lichen etc…into a suggestion rather than an exact replication.  With nature as her inspiration Susie White hopes to evoke a sense of place through color, scale, pattern and texture.

Jennifer Brown- Inspired by the curving shorelines and winding paths that make up the island, Jennifer Brown uses linen and cotton fabrics to create simple gestures that evoke this language of the land. Employing the traditional techniques of patchwork, appliqué, and embroidery, Jennifer tries to infuse the feeling of calm and wonder that we feel at the sea in each piece.
