Veedell Paintings to Be Shown at The Gallery at Penn College
Wednesday, October 26, 2005
The Gallery at Penn College on the main campus of Pennsylvania College of Technology will host "Visions and Imaginings," a collection of landscape paintings by Victoria Veedell, from Nov. 8 to Dec. 9.
An opening reception will take place Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 3:30 to 6 p.m. After the opening, viewing hours for the show will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2 to 6 p.m., or by appointment. The gallery will host additional viewing hours Dec. 2, from 6 to 8 p.m., in conjunction with Williamsport's First Friday event. The Gallery at Penn College is in Room 202 of the Bush Campus Center. All exhibits are free and open to the public.
Veedell, a resident of San Francisco, has been selected for residencies in Japan, India and Canada, and much of her work is inspired by those travels.
"As I begin a new series of paintings, I work to create landscape paintings that transcend the traditional sense of landscape and become something more alluring," Veedell explains. "I dissolve the form into color and light, leaving only what I consider to be the essence of nature."
In addition to exhibits in California, Veedell has displayed her work at galleries in New York City; Tokyo; Houston; and Kerala, India; among other locations.
Her education includes graduate studies at New York University and a bachelor of fine arts degree from Texas A&M University.
