Planting Seeds, Abstract Painting

2020

Artist Comments
An expressionist landscape painted on en plein air in northern New Hampshire. "The Native Americans of this region loved the land and were close observers of nature," says artist Rebecca Klementovich. "They gave names to the mountains, rivers, streams, and other natural features. This painting has the aliveness of the land that was Abenaki. I wonder what the American Indians planted on the spot I am standing on while I painted."

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.
