The show features the art of Lou Schellenberg & Susan Darwin. Each artist will command a floor at the MAC for this exhibition. Both artists work from observation, reference, and memory, creating colorful paintings filled with experiences of places they know and travel to. In addition to having successful lifelong careers in art, Susan and Lou are cousins who share a love of Buzzards Bay, where they have common roots. Susan Darwin is in the midst of her 10-Year Location Series which increasingly brings her to remote locations. Susan began her 10-year Location Series in 2020, turning her attention to a different location each year and creating 20 paintings annually that serve as a visual essay of what that location inspires and what it means to her. In a hurried world, where we are all caught up in our own stories, this series examines how a location can have the power not only to define us, but to awaken us and hopefully teach us to be here at any given moment. Lou Schellenberg shares paintings that are inspired by decades spent along the North East coast from Massachusetts and Maine to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. She is a visual artist who divides her year painting in Pennsylvania, and Nova Scotia, Canada. Lou was raised in NY and New England and has a deep connection to the northeast coast. Living both rural and city experiences has influenced her life and work. For over thirty years Schellenberg’s landscape paintings have combined observation and invention, creating paired down compositions of dwellings and structures in the landscape and her surroundings. After receiving an MFA (SUNY Albany), she moved to Pennsylvania and taught as an Associate Prof of Art for 20 years.
