The vivid mountain paintings in this exhibit were inspired by her visits to the Bernese Alps, the Dolomites and the Rockies. Charney says, “The subject matter comes from places that I have lived and traveled – from everything that I have ever seen, tasted, smelled, heard and felt. Like a huge recipe from time, the ingredients are mixed together, sifted and sorted through some mysterious process in my mind.”
Charney was born in Pittsburgh, PA and has since lived in Madison, WI, Washington, D.C. and Nashville. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting at Carnegie Mellon University where she studied with the late Lawrence Calcagno. She later received her Master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin, where she studied with abstract expressionist Milton Resnick. Charney has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions over the past thirty-five years. Her paintings are in corporate and private collections throughout the United States and abroad.
