As if that news isn't exciting enough, Christine was also notified that her painting, The Song The Wind Sings was given a merit award at the Manito Art Leagues Regional Exhibition. Judge Ken Bloom, curator, artist from Duluth, Minnesota made these comments about her work:

A highly abstracted and exploding composition, layered of quantitative forms superimposed upon an ambiguous landscape suggesting a tectonic cleft, as a storied map of describing evolution and transcendence.

 

 

 

The Song The Wind Sings

The song the wind sings
The tears the rain cried
white waves
blue against the shore
seeds sown
Footprints.

ABOUT CHRISTINE ALFERY:

Christine Alfery has been creating and selling her art since the 1960’s. In the 1990’s she was a creative force on the national interior design scene. As her style has evolved, so has the interest, intrigue and demand for her work. Christine’s paintings have been widely exhibited in museums, galleries and in corporate and private collections throughout the United States and the world.

Her artistic style shows a maturity that comes from a lifetime of creative exploration. Christine’s “experimental abstractions” are filled with playful iconic symbols which enable her to “integrate the real with the abstract.” Christine is deeply influenced by the abstract expressionists, including: Hans Hofman, Mark Rothko, Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler and Cy Twombly, to name a few, yet her style is uniquely her own.

Christine earned her Bachelors of Science degree, her Master’s degree in Education, her MFA degree and her Ph.D in Contemporary Art History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

She shows her contemporary, conceptual watercolor and acrylic paintings nationally and internationally. She competes in watercolor competitions around the world. Christine has won over 100 national awards and is a signature member of 10 national watercolor societies throughout the United States. She has been in more than 65 publications.

Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Hospital purchases Christine Alfery's Painting 'Patchwork Fields, Machines and Critters'

Christine Alfery, an International Award-Winning Conceptual Artist from Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin received some exciting news today when she was notified that her painting, Patchwork Fields, Machines and Critters was chosen for a purchase award in the new Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Hospital Project. The painting is currently being shown in the juried 'Culture and Agriculture' Exhibition at New Visions Gallery  in Marshfield, Wisconsin. The Clinic has purchased the painting for display in its newest facility, a 72,000 square foot hospital, which is currently under construction, and will be attached to its existing clinic in Minocqua.

 
The painting is currently on view at New Visions Gallery in Marshfield, Wisconsin through July 26th 2019.

New Visions Gallery is a part of The Marshfield Clinic Health System and resides in the lobby of Marshfield Clinic's main campus at 1000 N Oak Avenue in Marshfield, WI.  The Gallery is open from 9am-4pm Monday thru Friday.

Gallery employees, as well as the hundreds of gallery donors and volunteers are strong believers in the healing power of art, and being a part of MCHS allows the gallery to bring that power to more patients and families, said Bobbie Erwin, Executive Director of New Visions Gallery when the merger between New Visions Gallery and MCHS occurred in May 2017. This purchase certainly attests to that vision.

 

About Marshfield Health System (MCHS)

Marshfield Clinic Health System is the largest private group medical practice in Wisconsin and one of the largest in the United States, with more than 1,200 medical providers representing more than 86 specialties and subspecialties. The System has more than 50 locations in 34 Wisconsin communities in northern, central and western Wisconsin, including hospitals in Marshfield, Eau Claire, Park Falls and Rice Lake.

Christine Alfery Featured in The Lakeland Times

 

We Love The Lakeland Times in Minocqua, Wisconsin, for its tremendous support of their regions' local artists! Here they took a press release this NY publicist sent to them about Christine Alfery, an International Award-Winning Artist, local to their area and they created this Newsflash (left) in this week's paper about Christine's Art Exhibtion in the Hamptons this weekend! It worked!

A Lakeland Times reader in Wisconsin sent her friend, another fellow Wisconsinite (who is in the Hamptons this weekend!) to see Christine's work at The Market Art & Design Fair in Bridgehampton, NY (clipping in hand), where I had the pleasure of meeting her and introducing her to Christine's work, as well as chatting about Wisconsin. What a small world this is! We are all connected in so many ways! 

Thank-you Lakeland Times for helping us to make this connection!

And for those of you just receiving this 'Newsflash' Art Market Hamptons, also known as Market Art & Design, continues through this  weekend, today, Saturday, July 6th from 11am to 8pm & tomorrow, Sunday, July 7th from 11am to 7pm. Booth 421. Artblend Gallery. We look forward to seeing you there!
