The Greenwich Art Society is sponsoring an exhibition of paintings by Concetta E. Volpe. The theme of the exhibition is “Seascapes” and consists of several pieces of her work including oil paintings of Loch Awe near Argyll, Scotland, sailing, California Coastline, and Peggy’s Cove Nova Scotia.

Concetta E. Volpe (Tina) is known for the illustrious colors on her palette. Her paintings are commissioned by private collectors and are displayed in homes and offices throughout Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Her portrait artwork has also been published on t-shirts, sold in music stores and worn by Chris Robinson lead singer of “The Black Crows” rock band.

As a young artist Tina won prizes for her art and drawings in elementary school. Growing up in Stamford, CT she has spent many summers at the beach and has traveled the East and West coasts of the United States and Canada. She is inspired to capture nature with its wondrous colors and all its subtleties of light and dark shades by her travels to the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains. Although, her career started with portraits and fashion designs, her travels have developed her interest in landscapes created in multi mediums.

Tina has studied under the direction of Stephen Douglas who has commissioned work for Paul Newman; Enzo Russo, author and master artist trained in Florence; Dennis Lyall, designer of 34 issued US Postal stamps and at the Silvermine Guild of Arts.

Her work has been exhibited at the Garden Education Center, Cos Cob, CT; Gertrude White Gallery, YWCA Greenwich, CT; Bendheim Gallery, Greenwich Arts Council, Greenwich, CT; Soundbeach Avenue Sidewalk Show, Old Greenwich CT where in 2005 she received 3rd place for her oil painting “Rigging the Sails”; and at the Riverside Yacht Club, Riverside CT where she has also been honored with an Honorable Mention for her oil painting “Loch Awe”

She is a member of the Greenwich Art Society and the Old Greenwich Art Society.

"Man’s Best Friend"

Paintings

by Melinda Marshall

 

April through June

Garden Café

Greenwich Hospital

5 Perryridge Road, Greenwich

Monday through Friday from 8 am to 3:30 pm.

From playful glances teasing you to give chase, to imploring stares for a morsel of your dinner, Man’s Best Friend is an amusing subject with endless expressions and therefore endless possibilities for a portrait artist.  Eight of Melinda’s portraits of dogs and people are on display at the Garden Café at Greenwich Hospital through June. 
 
The main feature of the show is the many moods of dogs.   Melinda has had a fascination with dogs and their distinct personalities since she was a child.  Most recently, her inspiration has been her own dog, Sadie, who is a fun-loving Goldendoodle. Melinda’s bright, expressive palate seems well suited to her love for art and dogs. 
 
Over the last 10 years, Melinda has worked in various mediums including oils and acrylics, stained glass, and clay.  Before moving to Greenwich, she trained in San Francisco with a stained glass master and designed and executed commissions of stained glass windows.   Since her move to the east coast, she trained with Enzo Russo in oil painting, whose teaching has influenced a generation of emerging artists.  Melinda has participated in many student art shows at the Greenwich Art Society. In addition to dogs, Melinda also enjoys painting bright, expression-filled portraits of children and adults.
 
The Garden Café is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 3:30 pm.  Melinda can be contacted directly at MindyMars@Mac.com
