Artist bio/Statement

Bio:

Lou Schellenberg is a visual artist who divides her year living in Pennsylvania and Nova Scotia Canada. For over thirty years her landscape paintings have combined observation and invention, creating paired down compositions of land, water, dwellings and structures in the environment.

Raised in both NY and New England the artist absorbed the best of two worlds: the culture and great art museums of NYC and the natural environment of coastal Massachusetts and Maine.

Her process combines observation and invention creating paired down compositions of dwellings and structures in her surroundings. Many of her paintings contain tension between representational and flat space and a human narrative absent of figures. Schellenberg attended The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and received an MFA in Painting from University at Albany, NY. Over her long career she has exhibited extensively in the US and Canada. Recent solo exhibits in Pennsylvania have been at The Susquehanna Art Museum, Harrisburg, and at Lancaster Galleries. In Maine she is represented by The Willard Gallery. Her paintings have been acquired by many private and public collections. Commissioned works are in health care and corporate centers including Milton Hershey Medical Center, Penn Medicine, and LL Bean. Schellenberg is Emerita Prof of Art at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania where she taught drawing and painting for 20 years.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Living and working in both Nova Scotia and Central Pennsylvania, I respond to the landscape and environment through my painting process. Being outdoors is the anchor and inspiration for all my work. The urgency of painting with oils in changing light and fleeting conditions is something I relish: working between vantage point and the painting’s surface, moving between representation and abstraction with fluid brushwork.

Seeking a deeper emotional connection to the communities we inhabit I often paint juxtapositions between nature and human built structures. Many works include architecture, spaces in between buildings, backyards, hidden views, and the geometry of boundaries.
