Marie Cole has lived in the Hudson Valley since the early 60’s. After living in Rhinebeck for many years, she now lives in Germantown by the river, in a converted warehouse.
Her paintings of the valley reflect her love of the area, the river, towns and surrounding farmlands. "In the past few years, I have been very drawn to water and weather. A river, bay, stream or pond is special at sunset or sunrise. An approaching storm offers excitement over water. I grew up in New Jersey by the Delaware River and spent summers at the 'Jersey Shore'. I still visit my family in the tiny Delaware Bay town called Gandy's Beach. So often, I'm either painting the mighty Hudson River or the Delaware Bay, both equally challenging. The process of painting is important to me. I love the paint, the viscosity, thick paint or thin, piled up in layers or scraped down to the canvas, creating texture or smoothness. I love the way paint creates light and shadow, yet, when you look closely, it is still just paint."
After working on a series of sunsets three years ago, Cole explored large-scale landscapes of the Hudson Valley in winter, continuing her exploration of work in a series. “The chilly weather of fall and winter are especially exciting times of the year to paint in these areas. It’s a challenge to see how much color can be found in the landscape at that time of year.”
Marie is currently working on a new series entitled “On the Road”. It consists of drawings and paintings of the country roads in Dutchess, Columbia and Greene County.
She is also continuing a series of semi-abstract, landscape-based monotypes.
Marie graduated from Vassar College and taught at Dutchess Community College for several years. Her paintings are in corporate and private collections from coast to coast. She shows locally at the Tivoli Artists Co-op, and at other galleries throughout the east coast. ?
