The show will opening Saturday, March 8, 2025, with an Artist Meet & Greet and Opening Reception from 2:00 - 4:00pm on opening day. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore Nealy's artwork, meet with her and learn about her process, and enjoy light refreshments.
Nealy Hauschildt is a Connecticut-based artist. She obtained her BFA from the University of Michigan, during which time she spent four months studying at the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague, CZ. Her work has been featured in Thought Art Magazine and CandyFloss Magazine, and has been included in shows and private collections across the country.
"Color plays an enormous role in my work and in how I experience the world," Hauschildt says. "My paintings are a combination of what exists in nature and how I experience my environment. I aim to capture the soul of the landscape through minimalistic, emotive color planes. Just as planned as it is exploratory, my process includes layering transparent washes and allowing room for the paint to evolve on page. I hope for my work to provide a moment of reflection and inspire sight; to reconnect us with land, sea, and sky and ignite an emotional response to color.
"The work included in Refraction focuses on my experience of light affecting color," she continues. "The slow-shifting deep tones of a late summer evening shortly after the sun has set; the sparkling pale mist across the back bowl of a mountain - all of these experiences I recall in impressionistic colorfields. Color is integral to how we experience life, and there is no color without refraction. Color is simply our perception of reflected light. The colors of my surroundings are contained in memories, just as my initial perception is contained in refractions."
Hauschildt's paintings will be on view through Saturday, March 29th. Find her original abstract watercolor paintings in her Artist Collection.
This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.
