The Zebra Gallery will host an opening reception for The Way Home, a solo exhibition of paintings by Ingrid Matuszewski, from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5. Her work will be on display through December.
Matuszewski began painting in midlife after a first career in international education and years spent living and working in Japan. What began as a chance encounter with a plein air workshop along the C&O Canal soon evolved into a devoted artistic practice.
“The Way Home conjures a sense of connection among place, memory and the freedom of the artist’s approach,†said Susan Schauer John, owner of The Zebra Gallery.
Working in both oils and acrylics, Matuszewski paints with a spontaneous and intuitive approach — often beginning directly on the canvas without sketching first. Her subjects reflect her love of the Virginia countryside and, more recently, the Eastern Shore of Maryland: farms, barns, winding country roads and scenes of water, marinas and glowing sunsets.
Now dividing her time between Virginia and her studio in Oxford, Matuszewski creates from a spirit of curiosity and joy.
“I paint what makes me happy,†she said in her artist statement. “I try to connect with my subject and transfer that energy into the painting itself.â€
The opening reception is free and open to the public.
The Zebra Gallery is located at 5 N. Harrison St., Easton, across from the Historic Tidewater Inn. For more information, visit . Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday or by appointment.
