BLUE HILL – Brooklin artist Cynthia Winings will exhibit her artwork in a show, Selected Works, in the Blue Hill Public Library’s Britton Gallery during the month of June. The show will consist of oil paintings on board, and collage using various materials with gouache and graphite. The public is invited to an artist’s reception for the show on Thursday, June 14th from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
About her work Winings says” My work is a contemplation of the landscape: I endeavor to capture the mystery of nature and our interaction with it. I am interested in how all the myriad elements that lie beneath and above us cannot possibly be grasped at once: underground waterfalls, aqueducts, and ecosystems. With the addition of the architecture and its orientation, a subtle human presence is apparent and married to the landscape by means of roots or underground wells. ”
Growing up in the suburbs of Redding, Pennsylvania and living in cities since then, Winings has longed for a connection to nature. She recently moved to Brooklin, Maine from Brooklyn, New York in hopes of resolving the
disconnect with nature that she has felt, just as her work is a “return to nature” for her. She is the mother of two small children and says she feels very lucky when she gets a chance to do her art.
Winings has a bachelor of fine arts in painting from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, and a master of fine arts in drawing and painting from Brooklyn College. She has shown her art in various venues in Pennsylvania and New York.
The show will be available for viewing during Library hours during the month of June. For more information contact the Library at 374-5515.
