Ed Chesnovitch Biography | Portfolio
Society of America in Gramercy Park, New York City and a juried Signature Member of the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod. His work is included in both public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe. Artist's Statement: Color & Light are the focus of my pastel paintings which evoke an underlying current of energy captured in nature at extreme and fleeting moments. This spiritual connection and reverence to nature... and the wonder and beauty of the landscape forever inspires me. I am fortunate to live in the beautiful north east section of the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. Many of my paintings are from immediate surroundings to my home. The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (a part of the National Park System) encompasses 40 miles of the Delaware river and 67,000 acres of its valley in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I am intimately fond of this area; the beautiful farm fields that roll along River Road up to Milford, on the Pennsylvania side, as well as the winding stretch of river along Old Mine Road near Worthington State Forest and Pahaquarry, on the New Jersey side. My travels to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, especially the areas of Provincetown,Truro, Wellfleet and Chatham, inspire yet another series of landscape paintings with their glorious expanse of marsh, cove and sea. |
