“Invented Paintings, Real-life Scenarios.” An Exhibit of Paintings by Maura Doern Danko

Maura Doern Danko

Invented Paintings; Real Life Scenarios

The experience of the everyday world influences the direction of my painting – the stuff strewn along the tabletop, moments lived or observed, memories or people or circumstances, and lots of references to things that cross my path throughout the day. It is an intuitive following of ideas.  I digest the visceral sensations of looking, combined with conceptual meanderings about content or subject. I respond in drawing and painting.

The work for the Irvington Library is mostly from the experience of spending time during Covid. Our family biked, camped, watched TV together, and discovered new places along the Hudson River, Westchester and Duchess Counties, and Long Island.

You may visit this exhibit when the Irvington Library is open, but access may be limited when there is a program in progress.  Please check here to see if the gallery will be available for your visit.
