Medium: Painting Studio Location: Paintcan Studios - Studio# 304B 10-10 44th Avenue Artist Bio: BFA Painting, University of Cincinnati; MFA Painting and Printmaking, University of Hawaii Studied briefly at The New York Studio School and worked at Bob Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop Three solo shows as a member of the Prince Street Gallery, NYC Selected for, and participated in many group and juried shows in galleries and museums in NYC and New Jersey including the National Academy of Design, NYC, and The Noyes Museum of Art, NJ. Artist Statement: I am showing drawings and paintings of exteriors and landscapes from sites in NYC and rural areas. My paintings originate as plein-air and proceed to completion later in the studio. During the dynamics of drawing a physical space I am honing my choice of a painting motif. My paintings seek to establish a convincing light and sense of place that is achieved through color exageration and invention. All images and text copyright Leslie Hertzog
