Artist Statement
I love painting outside as much as possible because of the natural beauty of the light, air, a
gentle breeze, the sounds, scents and wonderful views. I do still life paintings too, and often it
can be an adventure since certain aspects of a scene may emerge that make the painting more
exciting and unique to the viewer. It may be the organic shape of a leafy vine or the variety of
colors within a shadow. I look for those things that add life and vibrancy whether painting plain
air or a still life.
I was so inspired by the early American impressionists that I travelled to Giverny France to paint
in the garden of Monet. I paint ocean scenes, marine life, and landscapes. We have a treasure
trove of scenes right here in New England. Painting has been a lifelong pursuit. The inner drive
to gain knowledge, skill and ability to continue to grow and evolve stays with me.
Liberty Bank
Diane Remetta
CAS is delighted to feature the works of Diane Remetta in a solo exhibition at Liberty Bank in Clinton. Stop by through January 31 to view the uplifting exhibit.
Artist Statement
My paintings are invitations—open spaces where color, texture, and light
come together to invite the viewer in. I try to create an atmosphere, a
moment suspended between what is seen and what is felt. The color,
composition and light I paint on the canvas is designed to suggest depth
and movement, encouraging the eye to linger and explore. Ultimately, my
goal is to create a meeting place between what I see and what I invite the
viewer to see. Like Edgar Degas’s quote included here, I invite you into my
paintings and enjoy. “Art is not what you see, but what you make others
see.” — Edgar Degas
