Current Exhibition

Long Island Landscapes

On view August 14th - September 25th

Opening Reception Thursday, August 14th 5:30pm - 7:30pm

This exhibition, “Long Island Landscapes”, will highlight individual styles with unique artistic visions and perspectives by local artists Jonathan Van Brunt and Patricia Yantz. 

Jonathan Van Brunt, was born and raised in Freeport, NY. The youngest of seven, he grew up in a home with a wealth of visual art, mostly commercial illustration found in the many books his parents had. He studied art at Maine College of Art & Design, where he earned a B.F.A. in Printmaking. He went on to earn an M.F.A in Painting at Ohio University of Art & Design where he developed his abstract art style while teaching two dimensional design during his graduate study. 

His love for landscape painting came from seeing the work of Winslow Homer, Neil Welliver, and Andrew Wyeth. A focus on composition as well as expressive application of paint has been the basis of his work. His recent move to Suffolk County has kept a steady flow of paintings, in both acrylics and oil, that depict parks and beaches throughout Suffolk County. 

Patricia Yantz is known for her acrylic and pastel landscape paintings and as a former secondary art teacher at Sachem School District. At an early age she used to watch her father draw wood boats and he gave her some drawing paper to start drawing boats, too! Besides her father, Sister Lucy at Saint Mary’s High School in Manhasset inspired her to pursue art in college so she went on to earn a B.S. and M.S. in Art Education and an M.S.W. in Social Work along with a Professional Diploma in School Administration. 

Patricia has been a resident of Setauket for over 42 years and is especially drawn to the creek at West Meadow, Avalon Nature Preserve, and Stony Brook Harbor. Color changes the emotion and the feel of a painting, so she often works in warm colors to uplift the viewer and she tries to harmonize or unify colors in terms of light and atmosphere. The Atelier is excited to present this dual show which invites viewers to analyze, compare and contrast their artistic visions. 

The exhibition opens Thursday, August 14th, with a reception at 5:30PM, and runs through September 25th.
