The Madison Art Society Sponsors Award Winning Master Pastelist - Christine Ivers Demonstration of Painting the Night Scene
The Madison Art Society is sponsoring a pastel demonstration by award winning master pastelist, Christine Ivers on Thursday, July 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the Memorial Town Hall located on Route One near the Madison Green. Christine has won numerous art awards on her depictions of night scenes and she loves to paint the reflections that occur in the night. She said, " Finding what lies between the shadows of darkness and reflective lights is what drives my excitement to paint the night. Explorations of the colors that are imperceptible to the naked eye are endless. When that barely visible layer collides with light, the creativity begins! Pigments, transitions and reflections all play their part. My goal is to have my viewers fall into that world to discover what they normally wouldn’t take time to see.”
The public is invited to attend. A nominal donation would be appreciated to offset costs.
Chris has a BFA in painting and two-dimensional design from Hartford Art School. She found work in the advertising field for the last 40 years, after which she returned to her passion of painting. She works in both pastels and oils. Chris is the past president of the CT Pastel Society, of which she is also a signature member. She is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America, an elected artist at Lyme Art Association, Audubon Artists, Allied Artists of America, and Academic Artists of America. Other affiliations are with CT Women Artists, Salmagundi Club NYC, and numerous other New England art organizations.
Chris received her Master Circle Medal at the International Association of Pastel Societies in 2009. She was chosen to have her paintings included in Kennedy Publishing's "Best in American Artists" Pastel Edition, and she is one of this year’s Paint America’s National Top 100 Artists. She was chosen as one of the Top 100 Pastelists by Pastel Journal magazine, where she received an honorable mention in the landscape division. She has been published in Practiqué des Arts, Studios Magazine and American Art Collector.
Her work has won many awards across the country, including best in show at the 2010 New Britain Museum of American Art, 2010 CT Women Artists Member Exhibits, 2011 best in show at Southington Arts, and she is part of private and public collections including the Salmagundi Club NYC, and University of CT Medical Center.
