July Art Exhibit and Artist Reception at the Somers Library - Jeanne Demotses

Jeanne Demotses will be exhibiting a collection of paintings in watercolor, oil and acrylic during the month of July at the Somers Library art gallery.

There will be an artist reception at the library on July 11 from noon to 2:30.

Jeanne studied art at Hunter College, the Art Students League and the Westchester Art Workshop. Although her primary medium is oil, she often works in watercolor, acrylic, pastel, monotype and collage. She is considered a figurative painter, but her current interest is painting the landscape (especially ‘en plein air’) throughout the Hudson Valley.

For more than 20 years, Jeanne has maintained a studio in Peekskill. Her current studio is in The Hat Factory in Peekskill’s artist district. She was a member of Gallery 44 North in Peekskill, a founding member of Gallerie JJENTH, a member of the visual arts committee of the Paramount Center for the Arts in Peekskill organizing several juried exhibitions, and is on the faculty of the Putnam Arts Council in Mahopac. She also teaches classes and workshops in Heritage Hills, for the Yorktown and Croton Parks and Recreation Depts. in Westchester as well as portrait painting in her studio. Jeanne has exhibited work in galleries and public spaces and has paintings in many private and public collections here and in Europe.
