The post September Guest Artist Lane Hall appeared first on Art Presence Art Center. August Guest Artist Ilene Gienger-Stanfield
We would like to share with you a little about our distinguished August Guest Artist, Ilene Gienger-Stanfield. Gienger-Stanfield’s studio is in the hills of Southern Oregon, where she holds weekly figurative sessions and teaches private lessons. She has taught workshops nationwide and has signature status with the American Impressionist Society, Pastel Society of America, and Northwest Pastel Society, and master signature status with Women Artists of the West. Ilene’s first intensive studies were in portraiture, where her sensitivity to capturing the character of her subjects honed her drawing skills. Always open to learning, she then began observing subjects with a more abstract thought process, seeing only color, shapes, and how they fit together. This observation of shapes led to a broader range of subjects such as still life, landscape and figurative. Often Gienger-Stanfield does not know what she is painting, only the shapes she is painting. The last influential injection into Ilene’s current painting style was to strive for more original and clean color. The combination of these influences—drawing, shape, and color—have led to a style that is “A space that is my own” quotes Gienger-Stanfield. With images pared down to the essentials, the viewer sees natural, simplistic, and truthful art. Art Presence invites you to a reception for the artists on Saturday, August 3, from 1–3 pm. If you can’t make it, please save the date and come to the gallery for the Jacksonville Second Saturday ArtWalk on August 10 from 5–7:30 pm.

Art Presence Art Center, 206 North Fifth Street in Jacksonville, will feature vintage figurative pastel paintings by Ilene Gienger-Stanfield. The exhibit, “Vintage Figures,” opens August 2nd with colorful, professional and nostalgic paintings for the curious and art lovers alike.
For many of the paintings, Gienger-Stanfield hired professional models and utilized a friend’s vintage clothing acquisitions. There is a ‘turn of the century” Jacksonville flair to the collection.
Gienger-Stanfield teaches and exhibits nationwide. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, Signature member of NW Pastel Society, American Impressionist Society, and Pastel Society of America and a master signature member of Women Artists of the West.
The reception for “Vintage Figures” takes place Saturday, August 3rd, from 1-3 pm. Come join us for this warm-hearted reminiscence of the past. Call 541-941-7057 for more information, and visit http://ilenegienger.com/ to learn more about the artist and see more of her work.
