Two Artists, Two Fall Days
The colors of autumn come indoors at the Museum with printmaker
Pepe Coronado and ceramist Vicky Youngman. The leaf and the
pumpkin, fall icons, are the inspiration for Paintbox Leaves workshops,
September 25 and 26.
Pepe Coronado, born in the Dominican Republic, is a
Master Printmaker with his own studio in Hastings. His
art, the inking of an object to make multiple impressions
on wood, silkscreen, and other surfaces, is centuries old
and has always been practiced by great artists such as
Durer, Daumier, Matisse, and Picasso. Pepe said, “I am
looking forward to this new print project, creating images of the leaf in
its beautiful natural form. They will truly be paintbox leaves!”
Vickie Youngman is a ceramic artist. She loves working
with malleable clay, which molded into an object reminds
us of its beauty as we use it everyday. “Whether a mug
inspires laughter with morning coffee or a vase is used for
a special plant, I feel a connection to the person (using
it),” said Vickie. A lesson in a community pottery class
triggered her fascination with “usable” art. Now she brings her talents
to schools and adults with an added dimension — combining painting
and ceramics to create permanent murals. Vicky has taught art therapy
at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and teaches ceramics at
Arts Westchester.

The holiday is festive and celebrates death as part of the natural life cycle.
