April Featured Artist: Joanne Coffman
After receiving her BA in Visual Arts from West Virginia University, Joanne migrated from her home state of WV to southern New Jersey. She has exhibited her original paintings at the Ocean City Art Center, TLC, Shore Memorial Hospital, Nashville North Studio, Chora Leona Gallery, Virtua Hospital, Ocean City Fine Arts League, Jessie Creek Winery, Riverfront Renaissance, Penn Medicine, AtlantiCare, Noyes Arts Garage, Noyes Galleries at Seaview Hotel, Vineland Library, and Sutherland Art Gallery.
Most recently, Joanne has been painting with fluid acrylics, using a method that combines chemistry, physics, and paint. She strives to achieve abstract images in pleasing color pallets that feature unusual techniques. The results enable the viewer to individually decide what they see, allowing inclusion of their own imagination.
She resides in Egg Harbor Twp., NJ, with her husband, David Goldmann.
April Featured Artist: Marion Lotka
Marion graduated from Philadelphia University and also studied at Philadelphia College of Art, Moore College of Art and Fleisher Art Memorial. As a New Jersey resident, she studied with Rita Michalenko, Andrea Sauchelli and currently teaches painting for the Cape May County Library. She is on the board of directors with Ocean City Fine Arts League, volunteers and exhibits at the Art On Asbury Gallery.
Marionโs paintings have been purchased by Atlanticare and are part of the Healing Arts Program permanent installations. She is an Associate Member Artist with Riverfront Renaissance, a member of Society of New Jersey Artists, Ocean City Art Center, Gallery 50 and Stockton Noyes. Her award winning work has been exhibited in many solo and group shows in New Jersey and private collections.
The intention of my work is to respond to a subject seen with a degree of independence from visual references. If a view or object makes my heart beat a little faster, Iโm inspired to paint it. I am interested in still life, but in a way that questions perspective and context. I observe landscape in terms of time and memory and my paintings are often inspired by the evolving sky, land and sea views here in southern New Jersey, using layered acrylic and mixed media gestures and marks to explore scale, color and texture.
