“Rhyme & Reason”—Paintings by Jeanette Fintz
Hillsdale, NY– The small works on paper and wood by Jeanette Fintz explore geometric shapes and how we perceive them. These lively paintings employ color, geometry and rhythmic organization. The subtleties of spatial interactions, conflict, closeness and entanglement engage the viewer in this optical dance of lines and marks.

She is the recipient of the Ingram Merrill Foundation Award for painting, the NYFA Fellowship for Works on Paper, the E.D.Foundation Award for painting, the Ludwig Vogelstein Award for painting, and the Emil and Dines Carlsen Award for painting from the National Academy of Design.
