Edith de Chiara
Edith De Chiara, a mixed media artist who creates works-on-paper, is Professor Emeritus of Art Education, Lehman College. Her work is currently installed in exhibits at Gallery North in Setauket, LI and at the Mulford Gallery in Rockland, ME. She has been critically reviewed on a regular basis in the Long Island section of the NY Times. Co-author of Art for Exceptional Children (William C. Brown. 1984), the book is now in its third edition. Frequently referencing nature as a source of imagery, materials such as seeds and seedpods provide inspiration while threads are used as a metaphor for line. She works on handmade paper that she often stains with coffee. Her work can be viewed at: www.edithdechiara.com
