For the Love of Art Introduces Participating Artists Leslie Lew, Lael Morgan and GeneFree
Yamet Arts wants you to know the exciting artists who will be exhibiting in For the Love of Art. You may find a familiar artist or make a new discovery. We will clue you in on all of our participating Hudson Valley artists over the next week.
Leslie Lew's works of art "revisit early Pop art subject matter while addressing core issues of American culture. She has been painting for more than 25 years. Her trademark style, which she refers to as 'sculpted oils', begins with an acrylic base that is then layered with thick impasto oils. This style can result in works that are up to 3 inches thick." (Art Business News, 2008, Summit Business Media)
Lew, a native New Yorker, eceived her BFA and MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has exhibited at many museums including the New Museum and the Guggenheim.
Marcy B. Freedman has worked in a range of media and styles. Her present emphasis is on video and performance art. Marcy is an art historian who writes, curates, and lectures. See more of Freedman's work at CrotonArts.org.
Gene Panczenko works in photography, videography and film. He states "Even the most mundane objects can invoke a sense of awe, mystery, and fascination if they are viewed with a different eye; a different perspective, a different time, a different light. This is what I try to capture and share in my work." View Panczenko's portfolio at AbsoluteArts.com.

Rick,
I just want to thank you for being part of the wonderful exhibition- "For the Love of Art". The selection of art, the stellar space, and how it was all conducted was an experience I will remember!
Also, after seeing the show, I took my musician son, Sean, to see your gallery downstairs. What a treat.. and something my son really enjoyed! (and he lives in NYC).
I was recently included in the art history book- "The Martin Z. Margulies Collection", and so many of the artists in this book are represented in your gallery.
What a beautiful gallery!
Best,
Leslie Lew
