NEXT EVENT / RECEPTION: 4-7pm, Saturday, August 1. Eastworks Suite 205 / Patricia Czepiel Hayes. See my original oil paintings as well as reproductions on paper. Subjects include landscapes, seascapes, birds, florals. Ask about completed works, see what’s in-progress, learn about solvent-free oil painting, or just hang out and enjoy a unique “there’s-never-any-pressure-here” gallery experience.

Originally from Easthampton, I’m very happy to be bringing my art home. Much of what I create is from my imagination, loosely inspired by places I’ve visited, particularly New England landscapes.

HOURS:  In addition to Art Walks and other special events, I also open my doors to the public during my painting sessions. Stay tuned for more updates about hours or contact me to schedule a visit.

LOCATION: Suite #205, Eastworks, 116 Pleasant St., Easthampton, Massachusetts.

PROCESS:  Originals: I’ve painted in traditional oils (without solvents) for decades, more so in recent years after a 35-year career as a graphic designer. I stretch and prime my own canvases. I then apply linseed-bound oils, working in many layers. Each painting takes months to complete. Reproductions: I also print my own archival digital reproductions on paper (matted or framed) as well as 5×7 notecards.

SUBJECTS:  landscapes, trees, birds, florals
