Harrison Council for the Arts Presents "Melange: Paintings by Norma Foege" at the Harrison Public Library

"Melange: Paintings by Norma Foege" at the Harrison Public Library on view until August 30.  Meet the Artist:  August 12 from 7:00 to 8:30pm.  Norma Foege’s passion for painting is reflected in her vivid landscapes, still lifes, and portraits.  Her technique is a cross between representation and abstraction with a particular fondness for the colorists and impressionists. Norma began painting as a child at the Brooklyn Museum where Moses Soyer was her instructor.  She continued her studies at Pratt Institute, NYU, Hunter College, City College of NY, the Art Students’ League, Silvermine, and the Rye Art Center.  Norma lived in Paris, France for two years where she studied oil painting and exhibited at the Salon des Independents in the Grand Palais. Norma received a Masters in Studio Art from the College of New Rochelle, a Master of Science degree in Education from Brooklyn College and a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Brooklyn College.  After thirty-five years, she retired from teaching to devote more time to painting and music.   Norma’s work has been shown at the Matters of the Heart Exhibition in 2013, Rye Women’s Beaux Arts exhibit in 2012 and various other venues. The exhibit may be viewed Mondays and Wednesdays 9:30am to 9pm; Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays 9:30am to 5:30pm, and Saturdays 9:30am to 12:30 p.m. For info call the Library at 914/835-0324 or see www.harrisonpl.org.
