PURLIEU

SHARON CHARNEY  & ANNE WILLIAMS 

THE PARTHENON

West Gallery

November 12, 2011 –April 28, 2012

 Purlieu means “a piece of land on the edge of a forest,”  but also has the connotation of a person’s usual haunts. In the case of painters Sharon Charney and Anne Williams, both definitions apply to the land behind their suburban homes in West Meade.  Both painters interpret and protect their natural world.

 Sharon Charney’s bold, realistic images are often spontaneous and colorful.  She paints from life in acrylic on board and canvas. Often she is inspired by what she picks up on her walks through the forest.  Charney received her degree from University of Wisconsin where she studied with Milton Resnick, a first generation New York abstract expressionist.   Charney has worked as an art teacher, has exhibited widely, and is represented in many private collections.

Anne Williams’ abstract paintings, often quiet and still, capture moments of nature. Williams sets out to define an ephemeral moment. Her paintings, which are oil on silver-leafed hardboard, shine from within. Williams received her degree from Peabody College and has worked in virtually all areas of the arts: framing, teaching, illustrating, and as a studio painter.

Both women are active in the West Meade Conservancy. This non-profit organization, founded by Charney’s son, Dr. Noah Charney, works to protect the old growth forest in that area and educate the public about its importance.
