| Sasha Glinski is a visual artist fascinated by the ever-changing landscapes of Central New York. She came to Cooperstown in 2014 for a scenic painting internship with the Glimmerglass Festival, and has been lucky enough to work full time with the company as Scenic Charge Artist since 2021. Her fine art work is primarily oil and acrylic painting, focusing on capturing light through the lens of memory. You can find her at the Cooperstown Farmers Market on a monthly basis, vending original paintings as well as prints, stickers, and cards.
"I am so excited for the opportunity to share this set of paintings at the Cooperstown Art Association. Otsego County is the place I've found my artistic voice, so it feels really good to be presenting FROM BACKYARD TO BOG in a setting that it couldn't have existed without. One of the best things about making art in a small community is hearing the personal connections that people have with the subject matter, when someone points their finger into the world of a painting and says, "I know someone who lived in that house!" In that moment, it all comes full circle. This fleeting moment in time that's captured my attention, that I've brought home and precisely keyed in on the color scheme and texture and light to present it as I remember, has grabbed someone else's attention and made them feel at home enough to share a memory close to them. It's a big part of what feeds me as an artist, and so I truly think this show couldn't have happened without this community. Thank you all." - Sasha Glinski |
