Jayne Shoup
My emotional response to the world is expressed through a flat perspective, with exaggerated color and form, similar to early 20th Century American Modernists. For simplicity, I refer to my works as Representational Abstracts. My goal is a whimsical presentation of subject matter that emotionally engages viewers. The works of O'Keeffe, Dove, Bluemner, and Matisse continue to teach and influence me.
I am a juried participant of Art's Alive Festival, Art in the Round Barn, Open Studio Weekend, and various New England shows. Bryan Memorial Gallery, Helen Day Art Center, Wood Gallery, Studio Place Arts Gallery and Southern Vermont Art Center have exhibited my paintings. I am President of the Vermont Pastel Society, a member of Vermont Crafts Council, Art Resource Association, Northern Vermont Artists' Association, and Pastel Society of New Hampshire. My hobbies include cycling, yoga, birding, Nordic skiing and skating, gardening, and restoration of our 1848 home.
