Landscapes by Diane Bellenger
Spotlighted in May at Main Street Artists A
month-long exhibit of works by Rochester painter Diane Bellenger opens at the
May First Friday celebration at the Main Street Artists studio and gallery. The
event takes place 6-9 p.m. May 2 in studio 458 of the historic Hungerford Building,
1115 E. Main Street, Rochester. Work by other members of the Main Street
Artists will also be on display and for sale. Since
her retirement from a career as an RN, Bellenger has found a new vocation as a
full-time artist. She works in colored pencil, graphite and acrylic. Landscape
is her primary subject and many of her acrylic paintings are done outdoors in
locations including the Adirondack Mountains and the coast of Maine as well as
the Finger Lakes and Rochester area. “My creativity follows a path of continual
learning and discovery,” Bellenger says. “I am always trying new
materials and methods of working with my pencils and paint. For me, creating
art is the spiritual experience of capturing a moment in time and conveying
that experience to the viewer.” Primarily
self taught, she has taken workshops and classes . She exhibits with the Main
Street Artists and four other local art groups. The
Main Street Artists are a group of 15 Rochester area painters working in a
variety of media. Current work can be viewed by appointment (call 585-233-5645)
or during First Friday open studio events each month. For more information,
