Abenaki Twilight over Blue Mountains, Abstract Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
Inspired by the Abenaki tribe, artist Rebecca Klementovich painted this piece near Mount Washington in New Hampshire where the Abenaki once settled. "The land back then was pure and untouched by the colonists," says Rebecca. "It was a spiritual place. Mount Washington was believed to be the site where the departed souls would go as they left for their ancestors. I loved living in the Mount Washington Valley. Nostalgia for the lakes, mountains, and trees is in my heart."

About the Artist
Artist Rebecca Klementovich paints expressionist views of the New England landscape. Merging her lifelong interest in fashion, she co-founded the group Femme Fatales of the North. "We are painting in gowns on the tops of mountains and slapping paint on canvases," says Rebecca. "We are an example of who the northern women are as artists." Her colorful palette and gestural style draw influence from her long career in the fashion world. Rebecca studied fashion illustration at FIT in New York and worked as a textile designer and art director for over twenty years. After leaving New York, she moved to northern New Hampshire near Mount Washington. "The mountains are nostalgic and lyrical, and this greatly affected my landscapes." Today, she spends many hours observing the fields, forest and sky, and the changing seasons.
