Northfield artist's stunning works
on display in Gifford Gallery
"Triple Play" by Phyllis Gosling Greenway
RANDOLPH, June 18, 2008 – Northfield artist Phyllis Gosling Greenway’s stunning watercolors, drawings, abstracts and more are now on display in the Gifford Medical Center art gallery in Randolph.
Greenway, an artist and teacher, is a graduate of Green Mountain College and Saint Mary College in Kansas. She went on to study at the University of Kansas, at The Torpedo Factory art center in Alexandria, Va., and with Albert Handel, former head of the American Pastel Society, Burt Silverstein, Charles Reed, Alex Powers and others.
Since, she’s taught at Green Mountain College and the Peninsula Fine Arts Center, Bay School of the Arts and Charles Taylor Arts Center, all in Virginia, and had juried shows throughout Virginia, where she lived until moving to Northfield three years ago.
“It is my great joy to now live, paint and teach in Vermont,” says Greenway, who had been visiting the state with her husband, a Norwich University graduate, since 1952.
Greenway’s art includes a variety of still lifes, abstracts, portraits, plein air, landscapes, drawings and even sculptures. The works, she says, come from her personal experience.
“Years of painting and drawing, loving nature, friends and family are reflected in these works,” she says. “I work from my personal experience, which may be an image or a thought. I believe that my art forms a personal statement of my life. It is a meditation and a surprise, and is constantly changing.”
Greenway’s works are on display in the Gifford Gallery through July 30. The show is free. The gallery is just inside the main entrance of the Randolph hospital at 44 S. Main St. Call Gifford at (802) 728-7000 for more information.
