Northern Westchester Center for the Arts
Mt. Kisco, NY, USA United States of America

The Northern Westchester Center for the Arts presents Winds of Survival, featuring a solo exhibit of works by Mt. Kisco resident Susan Weinreich June 13th through June 27th in the NWCA Opus Gallery. The exhibit is an astonishing and hugely individual collection of paintings and pastels. Mostly figurative, Ms Weinreich's colors are joy and her forms are exuberant. Opening reception is Friday, June 13th at 6pm. Admission free and open to the public

More than 70 private collections throughout the United States currently hold the brilliantly colored and provocative works of Susan Weinreich. Ms. Weinreich's seminal work presents the powerful cross currents of art and emotional and mental recovery from illness. She is a noted speaker at Four Winds Hospital of Westchester and the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and lecturer and Art Therapist at Westchester Association of Retarded Citizens in Mt. Kisco and White Plains.

The molten intensity of her oils and charcoals speak in color, contrast and composition to both the urgency and beauty of emotional portraits and abstract vision. This is the first exhibition the Mt. Kisco artist has staged in her our city. She has held shows in noted galleries including Ward-Nasse in Soho, 72 Market Street, Los Angeles and the Coulter Young Gallery in Peekskill.

Ms. Weinreich studied at the Rhode Island School of Design under renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly, Brown University and the Banff School of Visual and Performing Arts in Alberta Canada. She maintains a studio in Peekskill New York.
