showing at the Carrie Haddad Gallery
December 6th through January 13th 2002.

A reception for the artists takes place on Saturday,
December 8th from 6-8 pm. All are welcome.

....Carrie Haddad Gallery has been successfully featuring
artists of the Hudson Valley region for many years now.
The upcoming exhibit "A View of One’s Own" not only
gives us a chance to see the work of three such artists,
but also gives us a look into their haunts.
Each artist interprets their environment and exposes
the relationship between the land and its inhabitants.
Harry Orlyk is specter to Washington County’s rich farmland,
Robert Moylan deciphers similar rural landscapes above Rensselear, and Margaret Crenson pays homage to local
river towns of Poughkeepsie, Kingston, and Hudson.

....Harry Orlyk uses a free spirited style with thick strokes of paint that glisten as if in motion.
He is like a modern day Van Gogh in his technique and his high regard for the land and those hard
working people who subsist on it.Orlyk is driven to paint everyday no matter what the weather.
His thick overalls are covered in paint accumulated over the countless hours spent outside capturing
the beauty of neighboring silos, farmhouses, andfarm equipment. There is no struggle between man
and nature in Orlyk’spaintings. All is harmonious, productive and beautiful. It is America at its finest.

....Waterford resident Robert Moylan works in gouache on paper with apanoramic scope that
compliments his views of the rich farmland in the hills of Rensselear County and Southern
Washington County. Like Orlyk, hedocuments the beauty of working farms and the luminous sunsets
that set on the mountains behind them. Moylan is a master with gouache and painstakinglyreproduces
the details found is the expansive panoramic views where he paints.
His efforts pay homage to an industry that is quickly disappearing from our surroundings.

....Margaret Crenson is a resident of Pleasant Valley, just adjacent to Poughkeepsie.
She and her husband Dick enjoy driving up and down the Hudson Valley admiring thearchitecture
and candor of the small towns. Her paintings are like endearing postcards of the places she has visited.
Crenson paints with palette knife, trowelling slabs of paintacross the skies and sides of buildings in her
paintings. The technique suits her compositional format, which is to wedge shapes of facades and
rooflines into thesmallish canvases. Each little street and building is given a chance to preen its
feathers and proudly show off its faded colors and glorious flights of the past.

....In the Upstairs Photography Gallery, photographer Nancy Gardner will exhibitlarge color prints
of flowers. In the style of Georgia O’Keefe, larger than life close ups reveal hidden mysteries within
the luscious petals of summer wildflowers.
Ms. Gardner is an artist and psychotherapist. Since 1982, she has been in privatepractice in Albany,
New York. For the past several years, Nancy hastaken greatpleasure in raising perennial flowers,
and in 1999, she began to photograph in her garden.
