SO MUCH ART; SO LITTLE TIME
work will be up until June 27th
Two artists with two distinct styles...
Helen Quinn (l) and Maria Bonilla (r)
Helen Quinn was born in Washington DC in 1969. She received a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit. Her moving sculptures, drawings and animations have been exhibited internationally. She currently lives with her family on 83rd Street in Jackson Heights. Helen’s practice consists of making sculptures and drawings that investigate the beauty and magic of movement and the elusive presence of grace. She is fascinated by how movement and gesture (be it implied or actual) can remind, startle and delight a viewer. It is this unexpected, sometimes child-like reaction that she wants the work to evoke.
Maria Bonilla attended local schools in Jackson Heights and went on to explore art and design at Queens College. She received her degree in arts education and has taught locally at IS 145 and IS 230 for over 13 years. While inspiring her students to explore cultures and techniques, she also helps them craft lifesize puppets for the annual Jackson Heights Halloween Parade. Her son EJ is also an artist and a student at The Pennsylvania Academy for the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
Maria's focus on landscape painting, drawing and pastels, has captured scenic views from the gardens of the Chateaus right here in Jackson Heights to the coast of Newfoundland.
