"Summer Light" Abstract and Representational Oils and Watercolors by Margery Gosnell-Qua

Reception:  Saturday, May 5th, 2:30 to 4:30 pm. All are welcome.

Margery Gosnell-Qua works in oils and watercolors, between representation and abstraction, uncovering visual equivalents to memories comprised of sensations of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste.

She begins her artistic process by creating small color studies from life, an information gathering stage in which she records compositions and colored light.

In successive studies she seeks out her internalized experience of her subject, which is often landscape, people and interiors. 

Ms. Gosnell-Qua received an MFA in Painting and an MS in Art History from Pratt Institute in 1996, where she traveled to Italy to study Painting in Tuscany and Art History in Venice.   Her paintings are in private collections in the U.S. and Europe, have graced the covers of Dan's Papers, have been widely featured in the Southampton Press, and have been exhibited in various galleries and local art exhibits over the past 25 years.   

Ms. Gosnell-Qua is an Assistant Professor of Art and Art History at Suffolk County Community College and the Director of the Lyceum Gallery at SCCC Eastern Campus in Riverhead.  She resides and has a studio in Remsenberg.

Art Gallery Committee members Doreen Ceglia and Judy McDermott are
Co-Chairs of this show.

 The exhibit will be on display from May 2nd through 30th.
