From February 16 through March 8, 2013.
Williams McCall Gallery is currently showcasing a solo exhibition of works by esteemed artist Joan Cobb Marsh, which features interpretations of South Florida, travels, flora, interiors, and her brand new Hair Series. Inspired by “places and events recently traveled and experienced” and “people much loved”, viewers will be treated to a stunning body of new works.
Joan Cobb Marsh is a known and globally collected artist who specializes in oil paintings. Although oil is her first love, she has worked in collage, watercolor and drawing. Known for her interiors, recent paintings show scenes of Miami’s South Beach area, New York’s Twin Towers, Provincetown life, and a brand new “Hair Series”.
Marsh perfected her sensitivity to color under Henry Henche, a student of Charles Hawthorne. After receiving an AAS and BFA from Rochester Institute of Technology, she was Graphics Supervisor in the Department of Instructional Development’s Media Center. As Adjunct Professor, Marsh taught graphics and developed a course in Advanced Collage.
Recent one-person shows were at Kiley Court Gallery, Provincetown and Chacur Gallery, New York City. Marsh’s work is in many private collections in the UK, the Netherlands, Mexico, Hawaii, and the United States. A resident of Provincetown Massachusetts, she currently paints from a studio overlooking the town’s harbor.
“It is an artist’s responsibility to combine her intuition, intelligence, and skill of craft and observation, to try to immediately engage a viewer. I try to optimize all the elements in a painting in an honest attempt to capture the fleeting visual beauty of our surroundings. In a glimpse resides an eternity and to capture that is a constant quest.”
