Geno: “Many of my oil pastel paintings were inspired by Impressionistic Artists such as Pissarro, Sisley, Monet, Cezanne and Degas. I enjoy creating images that capture a memory of mine or provide a pleasing image for the viewer. I am inspired by other works of art, which led me to a creation of my own original style that leans toward impressionism.”

Karen: As a fourth generation Connecticut quilter, Karen has had a lifelong interest in creating quilts, both traditional and modern. She especially enjoys creating small personalized quilted wall hangings that reflect historical and current events. Her quilts of Easton Landmarks are entirely hand-stitched and quilted, and often contain embroidery.

Wing Na Wong is a photorealist painter. Her specialty is portraiture, depicting people or animals with expressive details. Photorealism has always been her interest, but her decision to officially make it her career began when she started fine tuning her techniques. Creating portraits and bringing them alive with details gives her all the satisfaction and encouragement she needs for the next art piece. It is telling the story of a person, a biography, using her paint brush to depict the many life experiences that we all go through with visual clues and artistic details. She is a member of the International Guild of Realism and Oil Painters of America. Wing is the recipient of many awards and has a permanent collection of women scientists in the Discovery Museum in Acton, MA. View Wing’s complete portfolio online at wingnawong.com.
