WEEKEND, JUNE 12-13, 2021

The 388th Edition

Georgette Sinclair

Introspective Retrospective

June 12-July 18, 2021

RIVAA Gallery

Georgette Sinclair’s art training started in her childhood
when she attended the Public School of Art in Romania
where she took drawing and painting classes.

After Ms. Sinclair immigrated to the United States,
she started a new life as an American citizen while
attending school at night. She obtained a Master of
Science and a Doctoral degree in Audiology, which
adds to her Master degree in Special Psychology
and Pedagogy already earned back in Romania
from Cluj-Napoca University.

In New York, she attended the Art Student League
of NYC, studying under Richard Pionk and John
Foote, in addition to attending workshops at
Woodstock School of Art and the Hudson River Valley
Art School. She also studied with master pastelist,
Elizabeth Mowry, at various workshops in France
in the Artist’s Retreat Program.

Ms. Sinclair works mostly in pastels and oils and is
fascinated by the beauty of nature. She finds poetry
in ordinary scenes and her landscapes express a mood
and speak to everyone by freezing a moment before
it is gone forever. In her vision, expression of mood
is the response to a fragment in time. She delights
in painting outdoors but is also fascinated by peeking
in and out of the windows which are the subject
of some of her paintings. She travels extensively
and her trips, a great source of inspiration,
have a big impact on her work.

Ms. Sinclair has been a member of the Salmagundi Club
and Pen & Brush, Inc, NYC since 2001 and RIVAA
(Roosevelt Island Visual Art Association, NYC) since 2000.
