529 W 20th St Patricia Tobacco Forrester Golden Smoke Tree (2006) |
ACA Galleries is delighted to announce its first solo exhibition of watercolors by Patricia Tobacco Forrester.
She graduated from Smith College (1962) and then attended Yale University School of Art where she received both her BFA (1963) and MFA (1965). Contrary to the prevailing trends of the 1970s she began painting outside, in watercolors so large they demanded to be taken as seriously as works on canvas. Her chosen medium moves and shifts on paper the way nature does - in currents of water, light and air. Her colorful plein-air watercolors reflect the dynamism and power of the ever-changing natural world.
She has been awarded numerous fellowships and residencies which enabled her to paint both locally and abroad in the verdant landscapes of Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica and Rochefort-en-terre, France.
