Marie Cole is a landscape painter based in Germantown, New York. Her works in oil, pastel and printmaking are inspired by the Hudson River Valley, Catskill Mountains, Cape Cod and the Delaware Bay.

“Painting is an exciting challenge for me, to keep pushing forward, past mere representation. I am always trying to find new ways to express my emotional reaction to my surroundings in color, form and mark making. I love the paint, thick or thin, the viscosity, piled up in layers or scraped down to the canvas, creating texture or smoothness. Paint creates light and shadow, yet when you look closely, it is still just paint. My latest work is from real, remembered or imagined landscapes. It is a new and exciting path that keeps me energized and engaged in the studio on a daily basis.”
