Gallery Artists: Luanne E Witkowski

Witkowski works intuitively in alternative mixed media (clay, resin) to create abstract paintings on panels that are based in and extracted from landscape and experience. Strongly influenced by the natural landscapes of the shore and woodlands of Cape Cod and Maine, Luanne has 'researched' and 'collected data' through plein aire painting and environmental installations to create references, which she then translates in the studio into these painted works. Additionally, video and photographic documentation and imagery of her references are manipulated to produce 'moving/living' video montage paintings: electronic "wallpaper".

Luanne has exhibited solo and with groups, been included in juried and invitational exhibitions throughout New England including the Wedlock Project: Engagement at Space 242 (Sept.09, www.space242.com); United South End Artists' Open Studios, Boston; Hutson Gallery (www.hutsongallery.net), Provincetown; Provincetown Art Association and Museum; Boston Public Library; Artcetera, Boston; Massachusetts College of Art and Design; Mission Hill Artists Collective, and many local N.E. fundraising auctions. Her works are in collections throughout the United States and internationally.

Ms. Witkowski is Communication Design Studio Manager at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and on the faculty of the Critical and Creative Thinking Graduate Program at the University of Massachusetts/Boston.
