The Hudson River Valley's Premier Artist Collective
MARCY BERNSTEIN - Mixed Media
“My paintings are an evocative combination of paint, photographic abstractions and wax on distressed surfaces. Stripes and bars manifest themselves in my
painterly hands to visuals of strong, primitive impulse. The lush slashing brushstrokes, aberrant color and the strong primitive drawing invite us to look inward. These are dreamy paintings, large and filled with allusions to sex and creativity.”
Marcy Bernstein's paintings are an evocative combination of paint, photographic abstractions and wax on distressed surfaces. Stripes and bars manifest themselves in Bernstein's painterly hands to visuals of strong, primitive impulse. The lush slashing brushstrokes, aberrant color and the strong primitive drawing invite us to look inward. These are dreamy paintings, large and filled with allusions to sex and creativity.
In 2015, Bernstein had a life changing accident that brought her 30 year career, teaching painting and photography in a New York inner city high school to a close.
However, this was not an ending but a transformation.
Marcy founded Roost Studios and Art Gallery a non-profit for the arts. In 2016. In her role as Executive Director, Marcy coordinates, curates and produces community art events, fulfilling a mission to build community through the arts.
