    Vicki Chesler has been painting and drawing since her childhood on the North Shore of Long Island. Growing up with a mother who also painted outdoor landscapes in oil, she began drawing and painting as a child. She entered Connecticut College as an art major and studied there as well as at the Roslyn School of Art, C.W. Post College on Long Island, and the Woodstock School of Art (WSA) in Woodstock, New York. She spent the Spring of 2001 painting en plein air in Provence, France, and has painted watercolor landscapes in such far-flung locales as Bali, Kenya, Greece and Italy. At the WSA she has studied watercolors with Staats Fasoldt, pastels with Christine Debrosky, and oils with Mary Anna Goetz. A resident of Olivebridge, New York since 1986, she currently resides with her husband and two daughters.

Artist Statement:

“ I remember clearly the first time drawing made sense to me. It was like a light going on in my brain. I was five years old and I have drawn ever since. I have painted steadily the last 25 years.”

Louis Lozowick
Lozowick is an important mid-century  artist, and you would recognize many of his industrial black and white paintings and woodcuts. This color woodcut of a train crossing a bridge over a river is unique, and a very nice piece.

signed and dated by the artist, 1940.
