For the first time in 2 years, we have art back on the sanctuary walls! They are the landscapes of Fiona Cooper Fenwick. Fiona was a long-time resident of Gregg Hill Road in Waterbury Center. She now lives Hinesburg. Many of her landscapes will be recognizable to us as local views of Camel’s Hump, Ricker Mountain and Mount Mansfield.
Here’s a brief excerpt from her bio found on her website, www.fionacooperfenwick.com:
Fiona grew up in Upstate New York, the youngest of four children. She attended Bennington College in Vermont, and graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Art. In 1992, Fiona moved to northern Vermont, making a full commitment to painting in 1990. Fueled by the New England landscape, as well as fine mentors along the way, she continues to pursue her own artistic goals – painting color, light, atmosphere and composition – and focusing on the balance of these elements in nature and art.
Fiona’s work will hang until mid-October. I hope you enjoy these beautiful landscapes that have, to me, a touch of 19th century American Romanticism.
